Orange County Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer
Rideshare accidents involve layered insurance policies and corporate deflection. Gallo Law cuts through the complexity to get you paid.
Three Insurance Policies. Zero Straight Answers. We Fix That.
When an Uber or Lyft accident happens, the question of who pays depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Was the app on? Were they waiting for a ride request? Were they en route to pick up a passenger? Each scenario triggers a different insurance policy with different coverage limits.
Rideshare companies are designed to deflect liability. They classify drivers as independent contractors, point fingers at their own insurers, and rely on the confusion to delay and underpay claims. Joseph Gallo has handled dozens of rideshare cases and knows exactly how to navigate this system.
Uber and Lyft designed their insurance structure to be confusing. That is not an accident — it is a strategy.
Navigating Rideshare Insurance
Determine Driver Status
We obtain app data to confirm whether the driver was logged in, waiting, en route, or on a trip at the moment of the crash.
Identify All Policies
Rideshare cases can involve the driver's personal insurance, Uber/Lyft's contingent policy, and their $1M commercial policy.
Demand Full Coverage
We ensure you access the highest applicable coverage tier, not the minimum the rideshare company tries to apply.
