No Fee Unless We Win Your Case

Ride-share services such as Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, and UberX have become popular in Seattle and nationwide in recent years and are among the fastest-growing segments of the transportation industry. After all, who wouldn’t like the option of ordering a private car at the push of a button?
Despite their popularity, transportation network companies have faced criticism for how they handle—or mishandle—insurance claims when one of their drivers causes an accident while on duty.

When a car accident injures you, you can file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Unlike taxicab or livery services, drivers for Uber, Lyft or Sidecar often use their own personal vehicles for the service. This means that if a rideshare accident involved you, you must file a claim with the driver’s personal auto insurance policy, which may or may not cover injuries arising from “commercial activities.”
Transportation network companies often tout the excessive amounts of coverage they carry on behalf of their drivers (sometimes up to $1 million!), but getting a hold of that money often means first being denied coverage from the driver’s policy, and then filing another claim with the parent company. In the meantime, you may face overwhelming medical bills and extended time off to recover, adding even more stress to an already difficult situation.
No Fees Unless We Win
Complicating matters is the question of when the company’s insurance kicks in. Under Seattle legislation passed in July 2014, ride-share companies like Uber and Lyft must match the insurance coverage required by law for taxicabs, which is $300,000. However, there is still some question as to whether this coverage applies when a driver is “between fares” at the time of the accident.
With our firm, there is no question of whether or not you deserve compensation. Whether an Uber vehicle struck you while walking or riding your bicycle, or you were injured as a paying passenger, we will do everything necessary to recover the compensation you deserve. This could mean engaging experts to assist us with an investigation into your claim and to quantify the medical complications you may now face. Our Seattle accident attorneys are no strangers to fighting for your rights in court if it means obtaining the coverage you deserve after a serious accident.
