Being hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident isn't like a regular car crash. Multiple insurance companies get involved immediately. Rideshare companies have legal teams working against you from the start. Without the right attorney, you can get lost in the process — and left with nothing.

Medical bills stack up fast. You may not be able to work. And Uber and Lyft's insurers are trained to minimize what they pay you. You deserve someone in your corner who understands rideshare law in Texas — and who won't back down.

Real Scenarios We Match Daily

A passenger was rear-ended while riding in a Lyft on Loop 410. The driver's personal insurer denied coverage, claiming the rideshare app was active. An attorney stepped in and pursued Lyft's commercial policy directly.
A pedestrian was struck by an Uber driver near the River Walk. The rideshare company disputed liability. A matched attorney gathered app data and witness statements to build a strong claim.
A driver was T-boned by an off-duty Lyft driver on I-35. Sorting out which insurance applied — personal or commercial — was critical. An experienced rideshare attorney identified the right coverage path and moved the case forward.

Questions

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

In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can cost you the right to recover anything. Don't delay — contact us today.

What does it cost to hire a rideshare accident attorney?

Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on contingency. That means no fee unless they win your case. You pay nothing out of pocket to get started.

How long does a rideshare injury case take?

Every case is different. Some settle in a few months. Others take longer if the insurance company disputes fault or your injuries require ongoing treatment. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline once they review your situation.

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

Call 911. Get medical attention right away, even if you feel okay. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries. Screenshot your Uber or Lyft ride receipt. Get the driver's name and insurance info. Then contact us — the sooner, the better.

Does Uber or Lyft's insurance cover my injuries?

It depends on the driver's status at the time of the crash. Texas law and rideshare policies define coverage based on whether the app was on, whether the driver had accepted a ride, and other factors. A qualified attorney can determine which policy applies to your case.

What Texas Law Means For Your Uber / Lyft Accident Case

In San Antonio, 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.
