Injured in an Uber or Lyft Accident?
Castro Valley Rideshare Accident Lawyer
We help injured passengers, pedestrians, and drivers file claims against Uber, Lyft, and commercial insurance policies.

Who Pays After a Rideshare Crash? We’ll Make It Clear.

Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance layers.
Uber and Lyft carry large policies — but only under certain conditions. We determine exactly who’s liable and how to pursue your claim.

Passengers have the right to full compensation.
If you were riding in an Uber or Lyft during a crash, you may be entitled to compensation from the driver, another motorist, or the rideshare platform.

Pedestrians and other drivers are often affected.
Many rideshare drivers operate distracted. We represent victims hit while crossing the street, biking, or driving legally.

You only get one chance to settle your case.
Don’t accept a quick payout from insurance without knowing the full value of your claim. We fight for what you truly deserve.
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.

- Common Questions
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.
How much is my premises liability 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.
