So many people depend on Lyft and Uber to get them from A to B. As rideshare users, people expect to be picked up and dropped off safely; so when an accident happens, the aftermath can be devastating.
If you’ve been involved in a rideshare accident, you have options. The experienced lawyers at Shapiro Law Team have successfully represented numerous clients in similar rideshare accident cases, securing justice and rightful compensation.
Rideshare accidents involving companies like Uber and Lyft are unfortunately prevalent. In fact, according to recent statistics, there are thousands of reported rideshare accidents each year in Arizona alone. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, 110,426 vehicles were involved in crashes across the state.
Any car accident can result in a wide range of injuries. Some of the most common injuries caused by car accidents include:
So how do these accidents happen? Common causes of rideshare accidents include distracted driving, speeding, reckless behavior, and failure to obey traffic laws. Shapiro Law Team is experienced in identifying these causes and building strong cases for our clients.

Determining liability in a rideshare accident can be tricky, but the proof is in the evidence. Depending on the circumstances, liability may fall on the rideshare driver, the rideshare company, or other parties involved. However, the driver’s personal insurance generally won’t cover the damages since they are operating a vehicle as a contractor.
Shapiro Law Team attorneys take great care in investigating each case to determine negligent parties and hold them accountable for their actions.
If an employee of a company causes an injury to someone else, the company could be held accountable. This isn’t always the case with Uber or Lyft.
Rideshare drivers are considered contractors, which means they are not technically employees of Uber or Lyft. They are independent contractors. Rideshare companies are legally not liable for any harm caused by these independent contractors.
Even though companies separate themselves legally, rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft promise to cover all rides with a $1,000,000 bodily injury insurance policy. Our legal team has extensive experience dealing with rideshare companies and their insurers.
As mentioned, Uber and Lyft provide insurance coverage for rideshare accidents. However, these companies have ranging tiers depending on the extent of the damage.
Victims of rideshare accidents may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. This compensation is broken down into economic, non-economic, and in some cases, punitive damages.
