Irvine Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer
Injured in a Rideshare Crash in Irvine?
Uber and Lyft drivers are constantly on the move in Irvine, carrying passengers to and from John Wayne Airport, UC Irvine, the Irvine Spectrum, and business parks along the 405 and 5 freeways. Frequent pickups and drivers watching their phones for ride requests raise the risk of crashes.
At United Attorney Group, we help passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists hurt in rideshare crashes in Irvine and across Orange County. These cases often involve several insurance policies, and we know how to find the right one.
Irvine clients choose our attorneys because we offer:
- Decades of combined experience handling serious injury cases.
- A track record of significant settlements and verdicts.
- Trial lawyers who stand up to insurance companies.
- No attorney fees unless we win your case.

How Rideshare Insurance Works in California
California requires Uber and Lyft to insure their drivers. The coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash:
- App off: the driver’s personal auto policy usually applies.
- App on, waiting for a ride: limited coverage from the rideshare company applies.
- Ride accepted or passenger in the car: up to $1 million in liability coverage applies.
Insurers often dispute which period applies, so we collect trip data, app records, and witness statements.
What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident
- Call 911 and get medical care, even if you feel fine.
- Screenshot the ride in your app and note the driver’s name and plate.
- Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries.
- Collect witness names and phone numbers.
- Report the crash in the app, but avoid detailed recorded statements.
- Talk to a lawyer before accepting any settlement.
Compensation and Time Limits
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs. California uses comparative fault, so you can recover even if you were partly at fault, though compensation may be reduced. Most lawsuits must be filed within two years.
