Rideshare accidents are complicated — the right attorney makes all the difference.
You did everything right. You booked a ride. Now you're hurt, your car may be damaged, and you're staring down medical bills you didn't ask for. Uber and Lyft don't make this easy. Their insurance teams are trained to protect the company — not you.
Rideshare crashes involve layers of insurance coverage that shift depending on when the driver's app was open. It's confusing by design. Without the right attorney, victims often get far less than they deserve — or nothing at all.
Nothing upfront. Every attorney we match you with works on contingency. That means no fee unless you win. You never pay out of pocket to get started.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident. If you miss that deadline, you may lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait.
Call 911. Get medical attention — even if you feel okay. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and your injuries. Screenshot your ride in the app before it disappears. Get the driver's name and insurance info. Then contact HurtMatch before you speak to any insurance company.
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 matched attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Rideshare companies use tiered insurance coverage that depends on whether the driver had the app on, was waiting for a ride request, or had a passenger in the car. Multiple policies may be involved — the driver's personal insurance, Uber or Lyft's corporate policy, and potentially a third party's coverage. You need an attorney who knows how to untangle all of it.
In Houston, 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.
