## We're Here To Help

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft make travel convenient in Las Vegas, Reno, and throughout Nevada - until a crash turns your day upside down. Whether you were a passenger, a rideshare driver, or another road user injured by an Uber or Lyft vehicle, you deserve full compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

At Sam & Ash Injury Law, we specialize in Uber and Lyft accidents. We move quickly to secure app data, GPS records, driver logs, and other evidence that can vanish fast. Our team knows exactly how to navigate the layered insurance policies and fight for What's Right and the maximum recovery you're entitled to under Nevada law.

## Filing A Claim After An Uber or Lyft Accident

In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, rideshare cases involve multiple insurance layers and time-sensitive evidence, so acting quickly is essential. Delays can weaken your position as memories fade and records disappear.

Our Nevada Uber and Lyft accident lawyers will evaluate your case promptly, explain your deadlines clearly, and handle every detail so you never miss an opportunity for fair compensation.

## What To Do After

Protecting your health and your legal rights starts in the first hours after the crash. Follow these key steps:

###
Call 911

Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up.

###
Save All Evidence

Take photo and video of the scene. Store reports, important items, and any records securely so nothing useful to your case is lost or misplaced.

###
Seek Medical Attention

Some injuries (whiplash, concussions, soft tissue damage) may not be obvious immediately. Prompt care also builds the medical evidence needed for your claim.

###
Follow Your Doctor's Instructions

Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies.

###
Report the Accident to Police & in the App

If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report, but avoid giving any recorded statement to the company's insurance adjuster until you've spoken with a lawyer.

###
Contact an Experienced Rideshare Lawyer

Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We begin investigating immediately, preserving evidence, and prevent insurers from undervaluing your claim.

###
Track Your Recovery

Keep a journal of symptoms, pain levels, missed work, and daily impacts. Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.

###
Limit Social Media

Refrain from posting about your incident, as anything posted online could impact your claim.

## Your Claim Is Covered By Uber Or Lyft If You Are:

A driver in an accident caused by an Uber or Lyft driver

A passenger inside the Uber or Lyft in an accident caused by an Uber or Lyft driver

A passenger in the other car in an accident caused by an Uber or Lyft driver

A pedestrian or bicyclist injured by an Uber or Lyft driver

An Uber or Lyft driver in an accident caused by another driver

A passenger inside the Uber or Lyft in an accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver

## Answering Your Questions

###
Am I eligible to receive compensation from Uber and Lyft?

Uber and Lyft will not pay for losses in every accident. As a general rule, they compensate for accidents caused by the rideshare driver.

###
How Does Uber and Lyft Pay for My Accident?

Whether Uber or Lyft will cover your accident - and how much - depends on what the driver was doing at the time:

Driver app is off: The driver's personal insurance applies. Uber and Lyft provide no coverage.

Driver is available or waiting for a ride request: The driver's personal insurance applies first. If that is denied or not enough, Uber and Lyft provide up to:

$50,000 for bodily injury per person

$100,000 for bodily injury per accident

$25,000 for property damage
>

Driver is en route or transporting a passenger: Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in third-party liability coverage. This includes uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and coverage for hit-and-run accidents.

###
What is The Driver's Relationship to Uber or Lyft?

Uber and Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors, not employees. This means the companies don't have the same legal responsibility as a traditional employer, like a taxi company.

In the past, this allowed Uber and Lyft to deny liability when their drivers caused accidents. Many victims were left without enough compensation because the driver's personal insurance didn't cover commercial use.

After public backlash, both companies now provide their own insurance coverage to protect passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians when an accident happens.

###
How much is my Uber or Lyft accident claim worth?

Compensation varies by case but can include current and future medical bills, lost income, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more. We've helped clients recover six- and seven-figure settlements, including full policy limits when appropriate.

###
What if the at-fault driver was uninsured?

Nevada's uninsured motorist rate remains a challenge. During active ride periods, Uber/Lyft's $1 million policy often becomes the primary source of recovery. We also explore stacking options with your own UM/UIM coverage.

###
Why should I hire Sam & Ash as my Nevada rideshare accident lawyer?

We focus on these cases every day. We understand the exact insurance rules, preserve evidence before it disappears, and fight aggressively for What's Right-without ever charging a fee unless we win for you.
