Gaithersburg Rideshare Accident Lawyers
Whether you were riding in an Uber, driving your own vehicle, or simply crossing the street, getting hurt in a rideshare accident can throw your life into chaos. These cases are complicated. You’re dealing with big corporations, layered insurance policies, and a legal system that isn’t always designed to move quickly. At Maryland Injury Lawyers, we represent victims of rideshare accidents throughout Gaithersburg and Montgomery County. We know how to sort through the confusion and fight for the compensation you deserve, whether that means dealing with Uber, Lyft, or another at-fault party.
Don’t assume someone else will handle it. Rideshare companies are quick to shield themselves from liability. That’s why our Gaithersburg rideshare accident lawyers act fast to protect your rights and take control of your case from day one.
Rideshare Accidents Are Not Like Other Car Crashes
Rideshare vehicles blend into normal traffic, but legally speaking, they’re not the same as ordinary cars. The moment a driver turns on the Uber or Lyft app, everything changes, from their insurance coverage to their liability status to how a claim needs to be filed. Depending on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash, different insurance rules may apply:
- If the app was off, only the driver’s personal insurance applies
- If the app was on and the driver was waiting for a ride, Uber/Lyft provide limited third-party coverage that is nearly double Maryland’s minimum liability requirements
- If the driver was on the way to pick up a rider or had a rider in the car, Uber/Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage
Knowing which policy applies is crucial, and rideshare companies are not going to volunteer that information. We know how to dig in, ask the right questions, and demand access to the best coverage that’s available.
Who Can File a Rideshare Accident Claim in Gaithersburg?
Rideshare accidents affect more than just passengers. We represent a wide range of victims, including rideshare passengers injured while in the vehicle, drivers of other cars hit by a rideshare driver, bicyclists or pedestrians struck by a rideshare vehicle, and even rideshare drivers injured due to someone else’s negligence. No matter how the crash happened, we work to identify the responsible parties, determine which insurance policies apply, and fight for the maximum compensation available under Maryland law.
What Makes These Cases More Complicated?
Unlike a typical two-car accident, rideshare crashes can involve multiple layers of insurance, corporate legal teams, and coverage disputes. If you’re hurt, you need someone on your side who knows how these systems work and who can make them work for you. These cases often involve complicated issues such as:
- Determining which driver was at fault
- Identifying whether the rideshare driver was “on the clock”
- Navigating overlapping or disputed insurance policies
- Pushing back against rideshare company denials or delays
- Valuing claims that involve multiple injured parties or large medical bills
You only get one chance to resolve your case. Our job is to make sure it’s done right.
What Can You Recover in a Gaithersburg Rideshare Accident Claim?
The injuries in Gaithersburg rideshare accidents can be just as serious as any other crash. Victims may face hospital stays, surgeries, lost income, or long-term rehabilitation. You shouldn’t be left footing the bill. We fight to recover full compensation for the full extent of your harm, including past, current, and future medical expenses, lost wages and reduced earning potential, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, long-term disability or disfigurement, and property damage or loss. We work with medical experts, financial professionals, and life care planners to understand the full scope of your injuries and losses. Then we use that information to build a strong, evidence-backed claim.
