Dallas Rideshare Accident Lawyer
If you were injured in an Uber or Lyft crash and are unsure where to turn next, you are not alone. Medical bills stack up fast, missed work affects your income, and the ride that was supposed to be quick and simple turns into a headache. At Galvan Law Group, we help Texans hold careless drivers and other responsible parties accountable. Sabrina Galvan brings years of experience in personal injury and insurance defense, giving our clients an edge when dealing with insurance adjusters and defense attorneys.
Injured in a Rideshare Accident
Rideshare collisions generally differ from typical wrecks because more than one insurance policy can apply. Responsibility may fall on the driver, the rideshare company, and, in some cases, a third party, such as another motorist or a parts manufacturer. The driver’s app status often determines which policy applies and the amount of coverage available.
Liability often turns on the driver’s phase. If the driver was waiting for a request, en route to a pickup, or transporting a passenger, different layers of coverage can apply. When a passenger is in the car, or the driver is on the way to a pickup, rideshare coverage can reach up to $1,000,000 in third-party liability in many situations.
| Status at Time of Crash | Phase | Primary Insurance | Typical Limits |
| App off | Not available | Driver’s personal auto policy | Policy limits set by the driver’s contract |
| App on, waiting for a request | Available | Contingent rideshare liability coverage | Often $50,000 per person, $100,000 per crash, $25,000 property damage |
| Accepted trip, on the way to pick up | En route | Rideshare third-party liability | Often up to $1,000,000 liability, with possible UM/UIM |
| Passenger in the car | Transporting | Rideshare third-party liability | Often up to $1,000,000 liability, with possible UM/UIM and contingent collision |
Texas also follows a proportionate responsibility rule. If you are partly at fault, your recovery is reduced based on the percentage that you are at fault. If you are 51 percent or more at fault for an accident, you can’t get compensation. Sorting out these matters early can protect the value of your claim.
How Galvan Law Group Can Help After a Rideshare Accident
From the first call, we move quickly to gather evidence and protect your rights. Our team handles your claim and communication with the insurer so you can focus on healing. We keep you regularly updated on the status of your case and answer your questions from start to finish.
Comprehensive Case Investigation
We gather evidence that supports your claim and present it to the insurance company. This includes collecting accident reports, photos, video, and witness information.
- Obtain crash reports, 911 audio, and body cam footage when available.
- Secure rideshare app data, trip logs, GPS points, and driver status information.
- Interview witnesses, review photos and video, and consult accident reconstruction when needed.
Our investigation helps identify every responsible party. It also protects evidence that tends to disappear with time.
Determining Liability and Insurance Coverage
We work to determine whether the rideshare driver, the company, another motorist, or multiple parties are potentially liable for the accident. App status, trip records, and driver contracts often control coverage layers. We also review your own auto policy, so nothing is left on the table.
Insurance stacks can be confusing. We explain which coverage applies and when, including liability, UM/UIM, MedPay, and collision. Clear answers help you make informed choices about your claim.
Aggressive Negotiation with Insurance Companies
Insurers use tactics such as giving low settlement offers and delaying your claim. Sabrina worked at insurance defense firms later in her career, so she knows how insurers evaluate your claim. That insight helps us develop our strategy to counter the insurer’s tactics and push for a fair resolution of your case.
We build demand packages supported by evidence and medical records, then push for fair results. If the insurance companies give you low settlement offers, we keep fighting until we obtain the compensation you deserve.
Litigation and Trial Representation
If negotiation talks stall, we file suit and move the case forward. Our team prepares thoroughly, from depositions to motions to trial prep. We stand up for you in court and press for a result that fairly compensates you for your injuries and pain and suffering.
Texas courts expect tight proof and clear stories. We bring both.
What to Do After a Texas Rideshare Accident
Your health comes first, and quick steps following an accident can protect your claim. Keep things simple and document what you can.
- Call 911 and request medical help if you are hurt, then get a police report number.
- Exchange names, phone numbers, and insurance details with all drivers and obtain witness information.
- Take photos of vehicles, road signs, skid marks, and injuries.
- Seek medical care right away and follow the doctor’s treatment plan.
- Do not give a recorded statement to an insurance company before you talk with a lawyer.
Texas generally gives you two years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit. Acting early helps preserve evidence and strengthens your claim.
Compensation Available in a Texas Rideshare Accident Claim
If a rideshare driver or another party caused your injuries, you could be eligible for compensation. Money cannot undo the crash, but it can support your recovery and future. We pursue all forms of damages supported by the evidence.
- Medical costs, future treatment, and rehabilitation.
- Lost wages, future earnings, and diminished earning capacity.
- Pain, suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Property damage and rental car costs.
- Permanent disability, scarring, and disfigurement.
Families who lost a loved one can bring a wrongful death claim and a survival claim. We handle these with care and clear communication.
