Uber/Lyft cases aren’t typical car accidents. Coverage can change by the minute based on the driver’s app status (off, waiting, en-route, on-trip), and insurers move quickly to limit payouts. You need a team that understands Uber & Lyft rules, preserves crucial rideshare app data, and pushes for the maximum recovery. We also handle e-scooter (Lime/Bird) and delivery-driver crashes (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart).
Georgia has strict deadlines for injury claims, and critical evidence (including app and device data) can be lost if you wait. The sooner you call, the stronger your case can be.
— Speak to a Lawyer in Minutes
Understanding what leads to rideshare crashes can help you protect your rights — and strengthen your claim if you were hurt. Many Uber and Lyft accidents share the same preventable causes:
When these factors cause rear-end crashes, T-bone collisions, rollovers, or head-on impacts, victims often face painful injuries, medical debt, and time away from work.
Our Atlanta rideshare accident attorneys know how to prove fault, gather evidence from the rideshare app, and fight the insurance companies to recover the compensation you deserve.
Taking the right steps immediately after a rideshare accident can protect your health, your legal rights, and your ability to recover compensation. Follow this simple checklist:
You have limited time under Georgia law to file a claim. Acting quickly strengthens your case and can make a big difference in the compensation you receive.

We offer committed and determined legal representation for victims of rideshare car accidents, guaranteeing that you receive a fair settlement for your claim. Our team of Atlanta rideshare accident lawyers will construct a robust case backed by compelling evidence to help you obtain the compensation you rightfully deserve.
Georgia uses a modified comparative negligence system
(O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33).
Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault—and you cannot recover if you are 50% or more at fault.
Insurers often overstate fault in Uber/Lyft crashes. Our team uses accident reconstruction, app data, and expert testimony to counter unfair blame.
Georgia’s direct-action rules have evolved. Depending on the rideshare driver’s status and insurance carrier,
you may be able to bring claims directly against an insurer. We evaluate carrier status, policy forms, and recent
case law to pursue every available path to recovery.

Yes. If the driver was off-duty (not logged into the app), their personal auto insurance is typically responsible. We investigate the driver’s status at the time of the crash and make sure the correct insurance company is held accountable. It’s common for injuries like whiplash, soft-tissue damage, or concussions to appear hours or days later. See a doctor right away when symptoms appear — this medical documentation can make a huge difference in your case. Our lawyers use these records to connect your injuries to the crash and fight for full compensation. Yes. Pedestrians and cyclists hit by a rideshare driver are usually covered by the same insurance policies as passengers. Coverage depends on whether the driver was logged into the app and/or transporting a passenger. We’ll investigate and pursue every available source of compensation. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault. Our attorneys work with accident reconstructionists and gather evidence to reduce your share of fault and maximize your recovery. No — Uber and Lyft do not pay medical bills as they come due. Instead, we work with medical providers and insurers to delay payment until your case is resolved, helping you avoid collections while your claim is pending. In most cases, your claim is filed against the driver and the company’s insurer, not Uber or Lyft themselves. However, in certain circumstances (such as negligent hiring claims), it may be possible to bring a direct claim. We’ll explore every legal avenue to maximize your recovery. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. This ensures everyone has access to quality legal representation, regardless of financial situation. Most cases resolve in several months, but complex claims involving serious injuries or multiple insurers can take longer. We work aggressively to move your case forward while making sure you receive the full value of your claim. Sí. Hablamos español.
