Liability in rideshare accidents can be complicated, especially in Arizona. Unlike typical car crashes, these cases involve multiple parties, including the driver, the rideshare company, and sometimes other motorists.
Determining whose insurance is responsible for covering the damages depends largely on the driver’s “status” in the Uber or Lyft app at the time of the collision.
Here’s how it typically breaks down:
Our skilled Mesa rideshare accident lawyers from Shapiro Law Team will investigate every angle, collect digital trip data, review traffic footage, and work with reconstruction experts to determine fault and pursue every available avenue of compensation.

After a rideshare accident, you may be left with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and the stress of lost income. The good news is that Arizona law allows victims to pursue full and fair compensation for their losses.
The damages you may be entitled to include:
Insurance companies are known for downplaying claims. Shapiro Law Team levels the playing field by handling all negotiations and communications on your behalf. We’ll gather medical records, expert testimony, and financial documentation to pursue the maximum compensation available under Arizona law.
While rideshare services make travel convenient, the rush to complete more rides often leads to negligent behavior behind the wheel. Our Mesa rideshare accident lawyers have handled countless cases involving reckless or distracted rideshare drivers.
Frequent causes of Uber and Lyft accidents include:
Our attorneys at Shapiro Law Team will identify the cause and build a strong case backed by evidence. Our goal is to hold every responsible party accountable, no matter how complex the situation.
Even at lower speeds, Uber and Lyft accidents can cause devastating injuries. The sudden force of the impact often leads to severe and lasting physical trauma. Some injuries take days or weeks to appear, making prompt medical evaluation critical.

The legal team at Shapiro Law Team works closely with doctors and medical experts to document your injuries and prove their connection to the rideshare crash. This detailed evidence helps maximize your settlement or trial verdict.

EXCELLENT Based on 779 reviews Posted on Zariya JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shapiro Law is amazing! I got into my first accident and they were great throughout the entire process. I was scared because my accident happened in an area with no street cameras and I didn't have many witnesses to help prove that I was *not* at fault. Thankfully their team is great at what they do because they proved that I was the victim and they worked hard to get me my settlement. I'm very thankful for Heather, Ashley, Amber, Terri, and everyone at Shapiro Law. I highly recommend them!Posted on Ahmed MohammedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Her communication is exceptional — she keeps me informed and explains everything clearly. I truly appreciate her dedication and the care she shows in handling my case. I’m very confident in her abilities and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable attorney.Posted on Pam MarianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have been very blessed to have Jacob Pierce with the Shapiro Law Team to handle my case. Being rear-ended on our Harley motorcycle accident was scary and upsetting. Jacob and their Team did so much more to help me recover and resolve the reckless driver's illegal maneuvering! We became friends! I believe that in looking out for me. Jacob was able to get me a higher settlement than I had expected! How's that for excellence!!!
Yes. While rideshare drivers use their personal vehicles, both Uber and Lyft maintain insurance coverage for accidents that occur while drivers are logged into the app. The specifics of these policies can create confusion about who pays for what, which is why working with an experienced Mesa rideshare accident lawyer is so important.
Absolutely. If you were walking or cycling when a rideshare vehicle struck you, you still have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries. Rideshare insurance policies cover third parties, meaning pedestrians, bicyclists, and other motorists can all file claims.
Under Arizona’s comparative negligence law, more than one party can share responsibility for a crash. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to recover damages. Your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys will carefully evaluate evidence, assign liability correctly, and fight to ensure that other parties don’t unfairly shift blame onto you.
