Rideshare accidents are complicated — but getting the right attorney doesn't have to be.
You did everything right. You booked a ride, buckled up, and trusted someone else to get you there safely. Then everything changed. Now you're dealing with pain, medical bills, missed work, and an insurance process designed to protect the company — not you.
Uber and Lyft accidents involve multiple insurance policies, corporate legal teams, and confusing coverage gaps. Without the right attorney, victims often get lowballed or ignored. You deserve someone in your corner who knows how to fight these cases.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to pursue compensation entirely. Don't wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Nothing out of pocket. Attorneys in our network work on contingency, which means no fee unless we win. You pay nothing to get started, and legal fees only come out of a settlement or verdict if your case is successful.
Call 911 and get medical attention — even if you feel okay. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries. Screenshot your rideshare app to document the trip. Get contact info from witnesses. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with an attorney before evidence disappears.
It depends on who was at fault and what coverage applies at the time of the crash. Uber and Lyft carry commercial liability policies, but coverage tiers vary based on whether the driver had a passenger, was waiting for a ride request, or was offline. An attorney can identify all available coverage and pursue the right parties.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once medical treatment is complete. Others involving disputed liability or serious injuries can take a year or more. Your attorney will keep you informed throughout the process and won't rush a settlement that isn't fair to you.
Texas injury law has unique rules that differ sharply from other states. Knowing them is the difference between a fair outcome and pennies on the dollar.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
