Rideshare (Uber & Lyft) Accident
RIDESHARE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS — UBER & LYFT CRASH LITIGATION UNIT
Uber and Lyft rush to protect themselves. We rush to protect you, and we hit much harder.
Rideshare companies make billions by putting thousands of drivers on Michigan roads every
day. But when an Uber or Lyft driver causes a crash, these corporations immediately hide behind
confusing insurance tiers, app-status excuses, and layers of legal fine print designed to deny
responsibility.
At Mumen Barlaskar Law Firm, we don’t let them hide.
We drag every layer of coverage into the light and force full accountability.
We represent Uber, Lyft, and rideshare crash victims — passengers, pedestrians, bystanders, and
other drivers — throughout Hamtramck, Detroit, and across Michigan. When billion-dollar
companies try to dodge liability, we make sure they regret it.
Liability in Rideshare Crashes: Where They Confuse You, We Strike Back
Uber and Lyft use a tiered insurance system to make it seem like coverage is unclear. In reality, it’s simple, and we enforce every tier aggressively.
1. Driver NOT Logged Into the App
Only the driver’s personal auto insurance applies.
Uber/Lyft = ZERO coverage.
2. Driver Logged In, Waiting for a Ride Request
Uber/Lyft provides limited coverage:
. $50,000 per injured person
. $100,000 per accident
.$25,000 property damage
This is where they try to lowball the hardest.
We don’t allow it.
3. Driver En Route to a Passenger OR Transporting One
Uber/Lyft’s $1 million commercial liability policy kicks in.
This is the coverage they never want to pay.
We file claims strategically, identify every applicable policy, and force rideshare insurance
carriers to open their checkbooks.
Why Rideshare Crashes Happen, and Why We Win These Cases
Rideshare drivers are often:
- Distracted by GPS and app navigation
- Exhausted from long driving hours
- Speeding to complete more trips
- Rushing through lights and stop signs
- Ignoring blind spots
- Driving poorly maintained vehicles
- Impaired by drugs or alcohol
We obtain the evidence Uber and Lyft hope you never see:
- App data
- Trip logs
- Driver history
- Dashcam footage
- GPS timestamps
- Electronic trip record
The Injuries We Litigate Most Aggressively
Rideshare victims commonly suffer:
- Spinal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and joint trauma
- Herniated discs and neck/back injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Psychological trauma
- Long-term disability
Even a “minor” impact can cause lifelong problems. We make sure insurance companies
understand the full financial value of those injuries — or we see them in court.
