Justice for Rideshare Victims. Support for Your Recovery.
When you’re injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, the aftermath can be confusing and overwhelming. Questions quickly arise: Who’s responsible? Whose insurance applies—the driver’s, the rideshare company’s, or another driver’s? How will your medical bills and lost wages be covered? At Boston Injury Law Group, we know the stress these accidents create, and our experienced Boston Uber and Lyft accident attorneys are here to guide you every step of the way.
Our goal is to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially while we fight for the justice and compensation you deserve. Whether you were a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, struck by one as a pedestrian, or driving your own car when hit by an Uber or Lyft, we are here to stand by your side and hold the responsible parties accountable.
What Makes Uber and Lyft Accidents Different?
Unlike typical car crashes, rideshare accidents involve additional layers of complexity. Because drivers are independent contractors and not employees, liability often depends on whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger. These details impact which insurance policy applies—and how much coverage is available.
Common causes of Uber and Lyft accidents include:
- Distracted driving (texting, using the rideshare app, or GPS)
- Speeding or reckless driving to pick up more fares
- Fatigued driving from long shifts
- Failure to obey traffic laws
Negligent hiring or supervision by the rideshare company
I Was in an Uber or Lyft Accident—What Should I Do?
If you’ve been involved in a rideshare accident in Boston, here are important steps to protect your health and legal rights:
- Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash or internal trauma may not appear right away. Prompt medical care protects both your health and your claim. - Report the Accident
Notify Uber or Lyft through the app and ensure a police report is filed. Both can serve as valuable evidence in your case. - Gather Evidence
Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and your injuries. Collect contact information from all drivers, passengers, and witnesses.
