Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia

Hurt in an Atlanta Uber, Lyft, or rideshare crash? Coverage depends on the app’s status — our attorneys know how to maximize your claim.

What to do after an uber & lyft accident in Georgia

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Even if symptoms seem minor — adrenaline masks injuries, and a 24- to 48-hour gap in care is the first thing insurers attack.
  2. Report and document. File a police or incident report. Take photos. Get witness names and contact info. Save every document.
  3. Don’t talk to the other side’s insurer. Their adjuster is paid to minimize what you receive. Politely decline recorded statements until you speak with an attorney.
  4. Get a free case review. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better evidence is preserved and the stronger the claim.

Atlanta uber & lyft accident FAQ

Who pays if my Uber driver crashes?
Uber’s $1M policy if the trip is active. The driver’s personal policy if the app was off. Both if the app was on without an accepted ride.
I was hit by an Uber driver in my own car. What coverage applies?
Same period rules. If the Uber app was active, Uber’s $1M policy applies. If not, only the driver’s personal policy.
Do I need to sue the rideshare driver personally?
Usually no — the rideshare insurance steps in. But the driver remains a named defendant.
What if my Uber driver was an independent contractor?
Uber’s coverage applies regardless. Their contractor status doesn’t affect your claim against the insurance.
