Rideshare accidents are complicated — insurance companies count on you not knowing your rights.
One minute you're in an Uber or Lyft. The next, your life is turned upside down. Medical bills pile up. You miss work. You're in pain. And the insurance company — Uber's, Lyft's, or the driver's — is already working to pay you as little as possible.
Rideshare accident claims are not like regular car accident claims. Multiple insurance policies may apply. Liability can shift depending on whether the driver had the app on, was waiting for a ride, or was actively transporting you. Without an attorney who knows Texas rideshare law, you could leave serious money on the table — or get nothing at all.
In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss that deadline and you could lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait — contact HurtMatch now to get matched with an attorney while your case is still strong.
Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if they win your case. There is no fee unless you win — period.
First, get medical attention — even if you feel okay. Then call 911 and file a police report. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and your injuries. Screenshot your rideshare app showing the trip details. Get witness information. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking to an attorney.
Every case is different. Some claims settle in a few months. Others that go to litigation can take a year or more. Your attorney will work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while making sure you are not pressured into accepting a lowball offer too soon.
It depends on the situation. Uber and Lyft both carry commercial liability policies of up to $1 million when a driver has a passenger or is on the way to pick one up. If the driver had the app on but no ride accepted, a lower-tier policy may apply. If the app was off, only the driver's personal insurance applies. Sorting this out is exactly why you need an experienced Texas rideshare attorney.
In Dallas, 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.
