Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer Near You in Atlanta, GA

Client was a passenger in an Uber traveling through Buckhead when the driver ran a red light and collided with a delivery van. The rideshare driver admitted fault, but the insurance company offered only $12,000 for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Client had ongoing physical therapy needs and questioned whether the settlement was adequate.

We conducted discovery review of the rideshare platform's commercial insurance policy, the driver's personal auto coverage, and the delivery company's liability policy. We obtained medical expert testimony projecting long-term treatment costs and calculated lost income based on client's employment records. We prepared a detailed demand package showing the inadequacy of the initial offer and signaled trial readiness through motion practice.

Insurance company increased offer to $47,000, which covered all medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Settlement was reached before trial, avoiding courtroom costs and delays.

Client was driving for Lyft in downtown Atlanta when an uninsured hit-and-run driver struck the vehicle. Police identified the other driver but confirmed no active insurance. Client faced $18,000 in medical bills and three weeks of lost income. Lyft's claims adjuster was unresponsive, and client didn't know whether platform coverage applied to hit-and-run scenarios.

We filed a claim with Lyft's commercial insurance carrier, citing the platform's uninsured motorist coverage. We gathered police reports, medical records, and rideshare app data showing the trip was active during the collision. We documented lost income through pay stubs and employer statements. We escalated the claim through Georgia's insurance dispute resolution process when the carrier delayed.

Lyft's carrier approved a $31,000 settlement covering medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle damage. Payment was processed within 60 days of claim filing.
