Areas of Practice - Uber & Lyft Accidents

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have transformed transportation in Dallas, but when accidents occur, the legal landscape is complex. Multiple parties are involved — the driver, the rideshare company, and their respective insurance policies — and coverage varies significantly depending on the driver's status at the time of the crash.

Uber and Lyft maintain up to $1 million in liability coverage when a driver has a passenger or is actively en route to a pickup. During other phases — when the app is open but no trip is in progress — coverage is reduced substantially. Rideshare companies have a history of denying liability or offering low settlements, making experienced legal representation essential.

Texas regulates rideshare companies under its Transportation Network Company statute (Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2402), which sets statewide insurance and operating requirements and treats drivers as independent contractors. Our attorneys understand these rules, access driver monitoring data and app records, and navigate the companies' arbitration clauses — fighting for full compensation whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or another motorist.

Victims may recover damages including medical expenses, lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and exemplary damages in egregious cases. Texas allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Contact us 24/7 for a free confidential consultation — no fee unless we win.
