Rideshare Accidents
What these cases are really about.
Uber and Lyft crashes turn on one question: which insurance period applies. App off, app on and waiting, en route to pick up, or carrying a passenger — each stage triggers different coverage, from the driver's personal policy up to a commercial policy with much higher limits.
Like every matter at Sipora & Sons, rideshare accidents cases are handled by one attorney from the first phone call to the final resolution, on contingency: no attorney's fee unless you recover.

Common questions
Rideshare Accidents questions.
What does it cost to hire you for a rideshare accidents case?
Nothing up front. These cases are handled on contingency: no attorney's fee unless a recovery is obtained. The consultation itself is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file?
Generally two years in California, but claims against public entities require a government claim within six months, and other exceptions can shorten the window. Call early so no deadline is lost.
What should I do right now?
Get medical care and keep every record, photograph what you can, and do not give the insurance company a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer.
