Our Case Results

Being in a car accident is stressful enough. When a third party, like Uber or Lyft, is involved, the process can become much more complicated. That is not an issue for us, though. We have many successful case results involving multi-car accidents, rideshare vehicles, and big corporations:

• $700,000: We secured this result for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a pedicab accident.
• $400,000: Won for a client who sustained serious neck and back injuries in an Uber accident.

Common Causes of Uber & Lyft Accidents

The causes of Topeka Uber and Lyft accidents are just like other motor vehicle accidents. Oftentimes, a driver acts negligently, or there is a hazard that is left unaddressed. Some of the most common causes of crashes include:

• Distracted driving
• Drunk driving
• Speeding
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Lack of vehicle maintenance
• Driver fatigue
• Bad weather and road conditions

At DM Injury Law, our attorneys and support staff of investigators, case managers, and medical records specialists investigate rideshare accidents closely to uncover every detail. Our thorough approach ensures accountability and can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Liability with Uber and Lyft

Being in an accident with an Uber or Lyft can make the personal injury claims process more challenging. Understanding how liability is determined is crucial for your case:

• Driver Offline: If the driver is not logged into the app, their personal insurance covers your damages.
• Driver Logged In (No Passenger): Limited liability coverage may apply, such as:
  • $50,000 per person for injuries
  • $100,000 per accident for injuries
  • $25,000 for property damage
• Driver with a Passenger or En Route: Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage when a driver is en route to pick up a passenger or has a passenger in the vehicle.

Our team of experienced Uber and Lyft accident attorneys ensures that every angle of your case is covered.
