Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have become a normal part of daily life in Peoria. They provide convenience, but when a rideshare trip ends in a crash, victims are often left with serious injuries, medical bills, and difficult questions. Unlike regular car accidents, rideshare collisions involve extra layers of insurance coverage and liability rules that can make recovery more complicated.

We investigate who is responsible, determine which insurance policies apply, and fight for the full compensation you deserve. You should not have to face large companies or insurance carriers alone, our team is here to stand with you every step of the way.

The compensation available after a rideshare crash depends on the facts of your case. Injuries, recovery time, and available insurance coverage all play a role. Our job is to make sure you receive the full amount you are entitled to, not just what the insurance company first offers.
Special damages cover financial losses that can be proven with receipts or bills. These include:
General damages address the personal impact of the crash that does not come with a direct dollar amount. These include:
Punitive damages may apply in rare cases. These are awarded when a truck driver or company acted with extreme recklessness, such as driving under the influence, ignoring federal safety rules, or hauling dangerous cargo without proper precautions.

Rideshare accidents are more complex than typical car accidents because liability depends on the driver’s status in the Uber or Lyft app at the time of the crash.

You do not have to be a rideshare passenger to file a claim. Arizona law allows multiple categories of victims to seek compensation.
If you were a passenger during an active Uber or Lyft trip, you are covered by the company’s $1 million liability policy.
If you were driving for Uber or Lyft and another motorist caused the crash, you may file a claim against that driver’s insurance.
If you were driving your own vehicle and hit by a rideshare driver, you may be able to file against both the driver and the rideshare company, depending on app status.
If you were walking or biking and struck by a rideshare driver, you may also pursue compensation. The rideshare driver’s status in the app will determine which insurance applies.

When a rideshare driver is logged off the Uber or Lyft app, the companies’ insurance does not apply.
In these situations, only the driver’s personal auto insurance is available. This can create serious challenges if the driver carries only Arizona’s minimum liability coverage, which may not be enough to cover medical bills, lost wages, or long-term care.
In these cases, injured victims may need to turn to their own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys at Thompson Law carefully review all available policies, identify possible gaps in coverage, and work to maximize your recovery even when rideshare insurance is not in play.
Uber and Lyft maintain detailed digital records that can confirm what a driver was doing at the time of a crash. This includes trip logs, GPS timestamps, route history, and in-app communication with passengers. These records can prove whether the driver was logged into the app, whether a ride was in progress, and how the trip unfolded.
However, rideshare companies rarely hand over this information without legal pressure. Our team uses subpoenas, expert analysis, and technical review to secure and interpret these records. This data often makes the difference in showing which insurance policy applies and who is responsible for paying damages.

Traffic data from the Maricopa Association of Governments (2018–2022) shows that several Peoria intersections consistently rank among the highest crash-risk locations in the Valley. These areas are especially prone to collisions and serious injuries.
These intersections combine high daily traffic counts with complex turning patterns, commercial access points, and heavy commuter use. Together, these factors create conditions where serious collisions are more likely.
After an accident in Peoria, getting medical care quickly is essential for your health and for building a strong injury claim. Several local clinics and health centers provide accident care, follow-up treatment, and ongoing support.
For life-threatening injuries, patients may be transported to nearby Level I Trauma Centers, including:
Both facilities are fully equipped for critical accident cases requiring emergency intervention.

A police report is one of the most valuable pieces of evidence after a vehicle crash in Peoria. It contains officer observations, crash diagrams, citations, and witness accounts that can help prove fault. You can request a report via:
Accident reports are handled by the Records Unit. You can request a copy in person at the Peoria Police Department, located at 8351 W. Cinnabar Avenue, Peoria, AZ 85345. Phone: +1 623-773-7098
Reports are also available through the City of Peoria’s online public records request portal. You’ll need details such as the report number, date of the accident, and the names of involved parties. Processing usually takes several business days.
There is typically a small fee for the report, and you may need to provide valid photo identification to verify your connection to the crash.
Insurance companies rely heavily on police reports to determine fault. Having an accurate copy ensures your claim is supported with official documentation.
Don’t let the process overwhelm you. Our Peoria car accident lawyers can help secure the police report for you as part of building your case. Call Thompson Law today for a FREE CONSULTATION.

Arizona law limits the time you have to take legal action after a rideshare crash. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If the accident involved a government-owned vehicle, such as a city bus operating under a rideshare-type contract, you must file a Notice of Claim within 180 days.
There are exceptions for certain situations. If the victim was a minor at the time of the crash or if injuries were not discovered right away, the deadline may be extended. These rules are strict, and missing the cutoff could mean losing your chance at compensation.

Uber and Lyft try to protect themselves by calling drivers independent contractors instead of employees. This setup allows them to argue that they are not directly responsible for accidents.
Some of the tactics rideshare companies use include:
These strategies can leave victims confused and without the money they need for medical care and lost wages. At Thompson Law, we know how to push back. Our team demands the records rideshare companies try to hide and fights to hold them accountable for their role in your crash.

Yes. Even if your Uber or Lyft driver failed to report the accident, you still have the right to file a claim. Evidence such as police reports, app data, and medical records can be used to prove your case.
Not wearing a seatbelt does not erase your right to compensation. Arizona uses a comparative fault system, which means your recovery may be reduced if your lack of a seatbelt contributed to your injuries. A lawyer can work to minimize this impact.
If the rideshare vehicle was poorly maintained, the driver or a repair shop could be held responsible. Issues such as brake failure, worn tires, or faulty headlights are examples of negligence that may support your claim.
Yes. Rideshare crashes in parking lots, garages, or drop-off areas may involve multiple responsible parties, including the property owner and the rideshare driver. These claims can be complex, but you still have the right to seek compensation.
If the driver was speeding, tailgating, or driving aggressively, this can strengthen your claim. Trip data, passenger complaints, and driver history can be powerful evidence to show negligence.
