Rideshare crashes are complicated — insurance companies will fight you hard, but the right attorney fights harder.
One moment you're in an Uber or Lyft. The next, everything changes. You're hurt, confused, and suddenly dealing with multiple insurance companies — the driver's, Uber's or Lyft's, and maybe your own. Each one is looking for a reason to pay you less. Or nothing.
Rideshare accident claims are not like normal car accident claims. There are corporate policies, app status rules, and legal loopholes that insurers use against victims every day. Without an attorney who knows this specific fight, you could walk away with far less than you deserve — or nothing at all.
In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. Miss that deadline and you likely lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait — the sooner you act, the stronger your case.
Nothing upfront. Every attorney in the HurtMatch network works on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if they recover money for you. If you don't win, you don't owe attorney fees. Period.
It depends on the complexity of your case. Some claims settle in a few months. Others involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take a year or more. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your specific situation.
First, call 911 and get medical attention — even if you feel okay. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries. Screenshot your ride details in the app before they disappear. Get the driver's name, license plate, and insurance info. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
No — you may have a valid claim regardless of how you were involved. Passengers, other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians have all successfully pursued rideshare accident claims in Texas. An attorney can evaluate your specific situation and explain your options for free.
In Austin, Texas, injury cases follow the same statewide rules — but local courts and insurance adjusters have their own patterns. The attorney we match you with knows them.
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.
