Kern County’s Car Accident Experts

Uber & Lyft Accidents

Rideshare accidents involve unique insurance issues often not covered by standard policies. At Kern Crash Lawyers, we navigate these challenges and fight for maximum compensation under California’s rideshare laws.

Tech Giants vs. Your Recovery

Don’t Get Caught in the Insurance Gap.

Uber and Lyft accidents are legally unique. These companies often try to distance themselves from their drivers by labeling them as “independent contractors” to avoid paying for your injuries. Depending on the “period” of the ride, insurance coverage can range from $50,000 to over $1,000,000.

Without an experienced attorney, you may find yourself stuck between insurance companies all pointing the finger at each other while your medical bills pile up. At Kern Crash Lawyers, we don’t let you get lost in the shuffle. We identify every available insurance policy to ensure you aren’t left holding the bill for someone else’s negligence.

We Hold Rideshare Companies Accountable

We meticulously analyze the digital footprint of the accident to determine which policy applies:

Digital Data Subpoenas

We move to secure Uber/Lyft app data to prove exactly what "period" the driver was in at the moment of impact.

Multi-Policy Stacking

We investigate the driver’s personal insurance in addition to the corporate $1 Million policy to maximize your settlement.

Third-Party Liability

If a third party caused the crash while you were a passenger, we pursue both drivers to ensure total coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Claims

We help passengers access rideshare-specific UM/UIM coverage if the other driver fled the scene or lacked insurance.

Securing the Full Value of Your Claim

Whether you were in the backseat or hit by a rideshare vehicle, we fight for:
