Hire a Phoenix Uber Accident Lawyer After Your Wreck
Following your Uber wreck, you need to hire a local law firm that:
- Has experience representing rideshare accident claims
- Has a proven track record with recovering compensation for car accident claims
- Understands Arizona law and how it applies to rideshare companies
- Knows how to fight low-ball offers from insurance companies
Without these qualities, you have less of a chance to recover just financial compensation for injuries and other damages. At Lerner and Rowe, we’ve recovered billions in total on behalf of injury clients across the nation.
One of the main reasons our team is so successful is that we consider our most valuable non-legal service to be taking on the emotional burden of a case so that they can focus on recovery. When it comes to Uber collisions, this is even more important.
Types of Rideshare Injury Claims We Represent at Lerner and Rowe
At Lerner and Rowe, we handle Phoenix rideshare injury claims that involve:
- Angle crashes
- Collisions with untethered animals
- Collisions with fixed objects
- Collisions with parked cars
- Fender benders
- Head-on collisions
- Sideswipes
- T-bones
- Turning crashes
- Pileups
- Single car collisions
- Multi-vehicle collisions
A rideshare vehicle can be involved in any of these common road traffic accidents in Phoenix. But what makes an Uber claim so unique is the contrast of the Uber driver and Uber (or Lyft) as a company.
With Uber and Lyft, the driver is not employed by the company. They operate as independent contractors. And so, the company will deny any vicarious liability, and attempt to promote their own insurance that they provide. However, this insurance is incredibly limited, and nowhere near the coverage offered by traditional rideshare companies.
Here’s the bottom line: you will need an experienced rideshare attorney to push for your maximum compensation and sift through all the red tape for your best chance at receiving it.
What Can Cause a Phoenix Uber Crash?
When there is an Uber wreck in Phoenix, Arizona, and the victim reaches out to Lerner and Rowe, we immediately begin figuring out who or what caused the wreck. There are many potential causes for these wrecks, like:
- Drunk driving
- Inexperienced driving
- Fatigued driving

It is possible your Uber wreck may not have been caused by the Uber driver or Uber itself at all. There may be other entities with which you may pursue compensation. To know all your options, you’ll need the expertise of an attorney from Lerner and Rowe, so call us now.
Insurance Requirements for Rideshare Drivers in Phoenix, AZ
Arizona does a fairly decent job at ensuring rideshare drivers have basic insurance coverage. Here are the requirements as laid out in A.R.S 28:
- Any driver, rideshare or otherwise, must have a minimum liability coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury for one person, $50,000 for two or more injured persons, and $15,000 for any property damages.
- Rideshare drivers must have minimum liability coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury for one person, $50,000 for two or more people, and $20,000 for property damage.
Uber also has insurance that they provide, but the insurance coverage is dependent on what the driver is doing and if the Uber driver has their app on or not. In the end, when attempting to sue for a rideshare accident in Arizona, just call Lerner and Rowe so that you can have a professional on the case.
