Real Scenarios We Match Daily

A Katy resident was a backseat passenger in an Uber on I-10 when the driver ran a red light and collided with another vehicle. The passenger suffered neck and back injuries and needed help determining which insurance policy — Uber's or the driver's — covered the claim.
A Grand Parkway commuter was waiting in a parked car when a Lyft driver rear-ended them in a shopping center lot. With disputed fault and two separate insurance companies involved, the victim needed an attorney to sort out coverage and negotiate on their behalf.
A local family was hit by an off-duty rideshare driver whose app was open but not yet on a trip. The case turned on which coverage period applied — a detail that makes a significant difference in Texas rideshare claims.

Questions

How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in Texas?

In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Waiting too long can permanently bar you from recovering anything. Don't delay — contact an attorney as soon as possible.

How much does it cost to hire a rideshare accident attorney?

Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on contingency, which means no fee unless we win your case. You pay nothing out of pocket to get started.

What should I do immediately after an Uber or Lyft accident in Katy?

Call 911 and get a police report. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine — some injuries appear later. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries. Screenshot your rideshare receipt or trip details. Then contact an attorney before speaking to any insurance company.

How long does a rideshare injury case typically take?

Every case is different. Some settle within a few months; others take a year or more if litigation is required. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation. The goal is always the best outcome, not just the fastest one.

Who is liable when I'm injured in an Uber or Lyft — the driver or the company?

It depends on what the driver was doing at the time. Texas law and rideshare company policies create different coverage tiers — app off, app on, or actively on a trip. A qualified rideshare attorney can identify all available insurance coverage and pursue every responsible party.

What Texas Law Means For Your Uber / Lyft Accident Case

In Katy, 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.

The 2-Year Deadline

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.

Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)

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.

Damage Caps You Should Know

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.

What To Do Right Now

  1. Get medical care immediately. Insurance companies argue any gap in treatment means you weren't really hurt.
  2. Do not give a recorded statement. Adjusters call within hours of a crash to lock you into damaging admissions. Decline politely.
  3. Save everything. Photos, medical records, bills, work-loss documentation, witness contacts.
  4. Get matched with an attorney before you sign anything. Settlement releases are final.
