Protecting Victims in Castro Valley and the Greater Bay Area

Rideshare Collisions Are Different We Know How to Win Them

Unlike regular car crashes, Uber and Lyft accidents often involve multiple insurers, contractor rules, and disputed liability. The Law Office of Eduardo Robles has deep experience untangling these claims and building strong cases. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver hit by a rideshare vehicle, we help you hold the right parties accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Rideshare Crash?

  • The Rideshare Driver

    If the driver was distracted, speeding, or negligent, they may be personally liable — especially if they weren’t logged into the app.

  • Uber or Lyft’s Insurance

    When the driver is “on the clock,” Uber or Lyft may provide up to $1 million in coverage. We fight to access this coverage when available.

  • Another At-Fault Motorist

    In multi-vehicle crashes, another driver may share fault. We handle all angles and ensure no liable party escapes responsibility.

We handle rideshare crashes in Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, and across the East Bay.

Don’t Let Uber or Lyft Deny Your Claim

Big rideshare companies protect themselves — not you. We investigate, gather evidence, and demand the payout you’re owed.

No Fees Unless We Win Your Case

We work on contingency — you pay nothing upfront, and nothing at all unless we recover for you.

Frequently Asked Questions – Rideshare Liability

  • Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?

    Usually not, since drivers are classified as independent contractors. But we can file against their insurance policies and pursue full compensation.

  • What if the Uber or Lyft driver was off duty?

    Coverage depends on whether they were logged into the app and had accepted a ride. We’ll review driver data and trip logs to confirm.

  • Am I covered as a rideshare passenger?

    Yes. If you’re injured as a passenger, Uber or Lyft’s insurance generally applies — often with high limits. We help you access that coverage.

  • What if I was hit by a rideshare car as a pedestrian or cyclist?

    You can still file a claim against the driver or the company’s commercial policy, depending on the timing and trip status.

  • What is my rideshare accident case worth?

    It depends on your medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We’ll evaluate your case in a free consultation.
