Understanding Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are part of daily life in Houston, but accidents involving these vehicles bring complex legal challenges. At the Law Office of Frederick K. Wilson II, we represent victims of rideshare accident cases, navigating the insurance policies and liability questions unique to these claims.

Insurance disputes between rideshare companies and personal insurers

These accidents often involve multiple parties and overlapping insurance policies.

The Insurance Coverage Maze

Uber and Lyft carry large insurance policies, but coverage depends on whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to a passenger, or actively transporting one. Insurers often try to deny responsibility or shift liability. Frederick knows what insurance companies look for when handling these complex claims, because he spent years training adjusters. That knowledge helps him cut through red tape and push for fair compensation.

Rideshare Risks in Houston

With heavy traffic on roads like I-10, Westheimer, and Main Street, rideshare drivers are involved in accidents across Houston. Whether you were a passenger, driver, or pedestrian, Frederick applies his local knowledge to advocate for victims throughout Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands.

FAQs

About Uber & Lyft Accident Claims

  • Who is responsible if I’m injured in a rideshare accident?

    Responsibility depends on the driver’s status at the time and whether Uber or Lyft’s insurance applies.

  • Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?

    Usually claims are handled through their insurance carriers, but in some cases, direct lawsuits may be possible.
