Here’s what happens next

Rideshare crashes involve layers of insurance: the driver’s personal policy, the transportation network company’s commercial policy, and sometimes the policies of other drivers involved. Which one applies depends on whether the app was off, on and waiting for a ride, or on with a ride accepted or in progress.

We gather the app records and trip details early so the right policy is identified.

Injuries we see

Rideshare passengers often ride in the back seat, sometimes without a seat belt on short trips, and may suffer head, neck, back and shoulder injuries in a collision. Drivers can suffer the same injuries as in any car crash. The injuries are the same; the insurance is what makes these cases different.

Rideshare insurance in Utah and Arizona

Utah law requires a transportation network company or its driver to carry primary coverage during a prearranged ride, including liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, PIP, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage where required. Lower minimums apply while the driver is logged in and waiting for a request (Utah Code § 13-51-108).

Arizona regulates transportation network companies under A.R.S. Title 28, Chapter 30, including permits (A.R.S. § 28-9552) and trip-record requirements (A.R.S. § 28-9556). Its insurance requirements also depend on whether a ride was in progress, and we review the applicable policy in every case.

Utah law

Most Utah injury claims must be filed within four years (Utah Code § 78B-2-307). Utah uses modified comparative fault: you recover only if the other side’s combined fault exceeds yours, and your recovery is reduced by your share. At 50% or more you recover nothing (§ 78B-5-818). Claims against a government entity require a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402).

Arizona law

Most Arizona injury claims must be filed within two years (A.R.S. § 12-542). Claims against a public entity require a notice of claim within 180 days and a lawsuit within one year (A.R.S. §§ 12-821.01, 12-821). Arizona uses pure comparative fault: your share of fault reduces your recovery but does not bar it (A.R.S. § 12-2505).

How Now Injury Law handles your case

You get a named case manager and a standing response window. When you call, someone picks up. When there’s news, good or bad, you hear it from us first. We get you in front of the right providers quickly, because delayed treatment hurts both your recovery and your claim, and we’ll tell you when treatment is enough.

We handle the letters to the insurance companies, the records requests and the negotiation. If an insurer won’t be reasonable, we’re prepared to file and try the case. Se habla español: our bilingual case managers Jacqueline, Janely and Noelidia work with Spanish-speaking clients in both states.

What to do after

Get medical care.
Screenshot the app, the trip receipt and the driver’s profile.
Get the information of every driver involved.
Photograph the vehicles and the scene.
Report the crash in the app, but don’t give a recorded statement before talking to us.

Damages, and the math on your settlement

That’s a fair question: what can be recovered? Economic damages include medical bills (past and future), lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation, and property damage. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Every case is different, and we will never promise you a number.

We tell you when treatment is enough. Running up medical bills does not make a claim stronger, and we will never grow your medical bills to grow our fee. Before you decide on any offer, we show you the math in writing: the gross amount, fees, costs, liens, and what you keep.

Questions

Frequently asked

Who pays if my rideshare driver caused the crash?

Usually the rideshare company’s commercial policy, if a ride was in progress. We confirm the coverage.

I was hit by a rideshare driver while I was in my own car. Who pays?

It depends on the driver’s app status at the time. We obtain those records.

I drive for a rideshare company and was hurt. Do I have a claim?

Possibly, against the at-fault driver, and potentially under the company’s coverage. We review your situation.

What does it cost?

Free consultation — you owe nothing unless we win.
