Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Why Choosing the Right Rideshare Accident Lawyer Matters

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident in Los Angeles, the lawyer you choose will impact your medical and financial future. A compensation claim isn’t just about vehicle damage. In serious cases, it can mean ongoing treatment, time off work, and long-term emotional distress—plus added complexity around who is responsible.

This is where hiring a specialized firm matters. Just recently, Peerali Law received a call from a client in a common situation:

• You sustain injuries in an automobile accident
• You get medical treatment
• You receive a call from an insurance company representative
• You’re offered a payment to “help with medical costs”
• You’re asked to sign documents to approve the payment

Be careful. Because you’re about to sign away your right to any further compensation. If future rehabilitation, surgery, or loss of earnings far outweighs that initial offer, you will be left to carry those costs on your own.

Before you accept a quick payout, it’s critical to understand the true value of your case.

Before you accept an insurance company’s first proposal, contact Peerali Law for a free case review. Serious rideshare injury cases are different—and you only get one chance to get the compensation you need for life.

How Do I Know I Have a Rideshare Accident Lawyer Case?

Not every rideshare accident injury will lead to a successful compensation claim. Under California law, your attorney must be able to prove that your injuries were caused by an accident—and that another party is legally responsible for that accident.

Rideshare cases also tend to trigger aggressive insurance pushback. Insurers may argue that the rideshare driver was “off the clock,” that a different policy applies, or that your injuries are “pre-existing” or “not supported by imaging.” If the crash caused severe injuries, it may overlap with catastrophic injury litigation—and the defense will fight even harder.

Further, if you are a rideshare driver who was injured in an accident, you may find yourself with no support from your company.

At Peerali Law, we look for the following elements when reviewing a rideshare accident case:

• A clear link between the crash and your injuries, supported by medical records and treatment timeline
• Police reports, incident reports, and scene evidence that helps establish fault
• Eyewitness statements, dashcam footage, CCTV, or other objective proof of how the collision occurred
• Rideshare trip details showing driver status in the app (accepted ride, en route, passenger in vehicle, etc.)
• Insurance information for all potentially responsible parties (rideshare driver, other drivers, and applicable rideshare policies)
• Documentation of missed work, work restrictions, and loss of earning capacity
• Consistent symptom reporting and specialist evaluation that supports long-term damages
• Any signs of distracted driving, driver fatigue, driver inexperience, driving under the influence or aggressive driving

These cases require a deeper level of legal strategy than standard personal injury claims. The attorney must not only prove liability, but also quantify the entire future impact of the injury.

This is the work our firm is built for.

If you believe your injury may fall into this category, we can review your case for free and tell you exactly where you stand.

Who Is Liable for a Rideshare Injury in Los Angeles?

You might know that rideshare companies such as Uber have up to $1 million in liability coverage when there’s a passenger in the vehicle. However, rideshare companies aren’t going to automatically cut you a check in the event of an accident. You still need to prove who is at fault for your injuries.

It might be the other driver, the rideshare driver, or another party. 

What if I Am Partially at Fault for the Accident?

California is a pure comparative negligence state. That means you can still collect some compensation even if you are partially at fault for the accident. In California, multiple parties can share liability. 

That can affect your claim even as a fault-free party. For example, consider an accident where the rideshare driver is 25% at fault, and the other driver is 75% at fault. 

In that case, the rideshare company and the other driver’s insurance will both contribute to your co

How Much Are the Legal Fees?

At Peerali Law, we operate on a no-win, no-fee model. This means you pay nothing upfront, and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.

Across the United States, contingency fees for personal injury cases generally range from 33%-40%, and may increase if a case goes to trial. Some firms also add extra fees or charge back expenses to the client—often without making this clear at the start of representation.

We don’t believe in hidden costs. Peerali Law provides transparent, written fee agreements so you know exactly what to expect. Many of our clients appreciate that we honor the terms of our contracts—with no surprise charges later. As one client shared in a five-star review:

“I am very happy with the settlement results… Peerali Law firm also did not charge me extra money as agreed upon in the retainer contract. They honored to stay at their minimum fee which meant a lot to me.” — L.F. (Yelp Review)
