Las Vegas Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer
Rideshare vehicles are everywhere in Las Vegas, from the Strip to the airport. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or the rideshare driver yourself, a crash involving Uber or Lyft raises one key question: which insurance policy applies?
Why Rideshare Claims Are Different
The coverage available depends on what the driver was doing in the app at the moment of the crash. If the app was off, the driver's personal insurance usually applies. If the app was on and the driver was waiting for a request, limited coverage from the rideshare company may apply. Once a ride was accepted or a passenger was in the car, the company's commercial policy, with much higher limits, generally comes into play.
Nevada updated its rideshare insurance rules in 2025, and the companies' insurers know these rules well. Getting the app status and trip records early is essential to identify the right policy.
How We Handle Your Claim
We request the trip records and app data, collect the police report and scene evidence, and identify every policy that may apply, including the other driver's insurance if someone else caused the crash. We then pursue compensation for medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you were a passenger, you're usually not at fault, which can make your claim more straightforward. Even so, insurers may still try to minimize your injuries, so documenting your treatment from day one matters.
