When an Uber or Lyft is involved in a crash, the first question everyone asks is which insurance pays. The answer depends on exactly what the driver was doing at the moment of the collision, and the rideshare companies and their insurers know how to use that complexity against an injured person.
Valley Accident Law represents passengers, rideshare drivers, and people in other vehicles hurt in Uber and Lyft crashes across the Phoenix metro. Founder Charles Paglialunga has 29 years of Arizona accident experience, and every case is handled by Charles personally.

Rideshare coverage in Arizona changes with the driver’s status in the app:
That $1,000,000 layer is often the difference between a real recovery and a token offer, but only if the claim is built and presented correctly.
If you were a passenger, you are almost never at fault and usually have a clear claim. If you were the rideshare driver, your own coverage and the company’s coverage may both come into play. If you were in another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a cyclist hit by a rideshare car, you may pursue the at-fault driver and the applicable rideshare policy. We sort out every available layer of coverage.
Arizona law lets you recover medical bills, future medical care, lost wages and earning capacity, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. We review the rideshare policy, the driver’s personal policy, and your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage before telling you what your case is realistically worth.
Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash. Earlier is always better, because app records and vehicle data can be hard to recover later.
Charles handles every rideshare case personally. Your first consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we recover for you. We have secured verdicts and settlements up to $6.1 million.

When a driver is carrying a passenger, a $1,000,000 rideshare liability policy generally applies, along with uninsured motorist coverage. We pursue every layer that fits.
It depends on your status in the app at the moment of the crash. Both your personal policy and the company’s coverage may apply, and we help you sort it out.
Generally two years from the date of the crash in Arizona.
