Las Vegas’ Best-Rated Lawyers For Uber & Ridesharing Accidents

Have You Been Injured in an Uber Car Crash?


Here are the Steps to Take:

If you or a loved one have been in an accident due to an Uber of Lyft accident, contact the Las Vegas Ride Sharing Accident Attorneys at Benson & Bingham to get the compensation you deserve. Drivers of Uber, Lyft, and other ride sharing companies are regulated in Nevada under the PUC (Public Utilities Commission) and not governed under the NTA (Nevada Transportation Authority) similar to taxicabs, limousines and other commercial carriers. Nevada Law mandates that such companies operate with a minimum of $1.5 million in liability coverage for personal injury or death in a motor vehicle accident.

Screening for drivers of Uber and Lyft are done by the respective companies who drive their own vehicles for a fee. The popularity of the service has grown by leaps and bounds as the prices often undercut the competition and afford passengers a viable option, especially in under served residential neighborhoods where taxicabs are often not present.

Insurance Coverage for Uber & Rideshare Accidents Depends on the Ride’s Status

Taxi App Is In Use With No Passenger

The Uber App is Open and the Driver is Waiting for a Rideshare Request

When an Uber driver is on the app and actively waiting for a rideshare request, the driver’s auto insurance company is liable for the primary coverage if there is an accident. Uber’s contingent liability insurance will cover damage that is beyond the driver’s personal policy limit.

The Uber or Rideshare App is On & the Driver Accepts a Ride Request

Once a driver has accepted a ride request, Uber’s commercial liability policy becomes primarily liable for damages in the event of an accident. This coverage ends once all passengers have exited the vehicle and the trip has been marked as ended in the Uber app. Victims may pursue damages from Uber, the driver, or their own insurance as well.

The Taxi App Is On And There Is A Passenger
The Taxi App Is Off And There Is No Passenger

The Rideshare App is Off and the Driver isn’t Carrying any Passengers

In these cases, the driver’s personal auto insurance company is responsible for paying for damages if the driver or vehicle is involved in an accident. The case would be pursued like any other personal injury claim with a private vehicle because the Uber driver is not actively working or seeking ridesharing passengers.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Concussions and other TBIs can be very serious and limit your ability to function normally, work, or care for your family. Full recovery may take months or longer, depending on the symptoms.

Common Causes of Uber
& Ridesharing Accidents

Distracted Driving


Drivers who are distracted by their phones, the radio, other passengers, or their surroundings can cause serious accidents and may have reduced reaction time.

Drunk Driver


Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not only a crime, but one of the leading causes of accidents in Nevada. Passengers may be seriously injured or killed.

Drivers Who Speed


Excessive speeds prevent drivers from being able to react appropriately to their environment and may cause fatal injuries to pedestrians, other drivers, and passengers.

Reckless/Aggressive Driving


Willfully disregarding the safety of others while driving is a common cause of ridesharing accidents in Nevada. Drivers may be intentionally aggressive, such as tailgating, or neglectful.

Falling Asleep While Driving


Driving while very tired can be as dangerous as driving drunk. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize the seriousness of driving while fatigued and cause major accidents.

Poor Weather Conditions


Limited visibility, anxiety, reduced reaction time, or poor handling of the vehicle due to road conditions and weather can also cause serious ridesharing accidents in Nevada.

Defective Car Parts


Some accidents occur because defective car parts prevented the vehicle from functioning properly. The manufacturer and/or mechanic may be held liable for damages.

Common Evidence Used in Las Vegas Uber Accident Cases

Proof of Injuries

Your medical records will provide crucial evidence in your personal injury case, including imaging reports, statements from your doctor, physical therapy records, and even expert testimony, in some cases.

Proof of Lost Wages

Documentation from your employer, such as pay stubs, will be used to demonstrate how much income you lost while your injuries forced you to stop working. Lost earning capacity may also be calculated.

Evidence from the Scene of the Accident

The police report, any pictures that were taken, and any traffic camera footage that can be recovered will be key evidence for your Las Vegas Uber accident lawyer and will help investigators determine liability.

Proof of Property Damage

Reports from your mechanic and insurance adjuster, along with photos and information regarding any other relevant property damage, will also be an important part of your personal injury case.

Additional Evidence

Phone records that prove distracted driving, police reports, witness testimony, expert testimony, dashcam footage, and other pieces of evidence will be uncovered by your Las Vegas ridesharing accident lawyer.
