ZEGA LAW GROUP

Burbank, California · Motor Vehicle

Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer in Burbank

Rideshare cases turn on one question: what period was the driver in? Uber and Lyft carry up to $1 million in liability coverage while a ride is active, lower contingent coverage while the driver waits for a match, and none when the app is off. Victims are routinely told less coverage applies than actually does. Zega Law Group identifies every applicable policy — free consultation, no fee unless we win.

Uber & Lyft Accidents cases in Burbank

Between studio traffic, the 5 freeway, and the airport corridor along Hollywood Way, Burbank generates a constant stream of vehicle and premises injury cases. Zega Law Group serves Burbank in English and Armenian.

Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a rider, or a pedestrian, the coverage analysis is the case. We obtain the trip data showing app status at the moment of the crash, then pursue the correct layer: the TNC's commercial policy, the driver's personal policy, and your own UM/UIM coverage where needed.

Local venue: Burbank injury cases are generally heard at the Burbank Courthouse (LA Superior Court), and local collision patterns around the 5 freeway and the Hollywood Way airport corridor shape how liability gets investigated and proven.

What your Burbank case may be worth

  • App period at the time of the crash (determines the policy layer)
  • Injury severity and future care needs
  • Whether you were passenger, third-party driver, or pedestrian
  • Multiple policies that can stack
  • Trip data and electronic evidence preserved early

Uber & Lyft Accidents questions, answered

Do you handle uber & lyft accidents in Burbank?
Yes. Zega Law Group represents clients in uber & lyft accidents matters throughout Burbank and the surrounding communities, with cases typically heard at the Burbank Courthouse (LA Superior Court). Consultations are free, in English or Armenian, and we work on contingency — no fee unless we win.
I was a passenger in an Uber that crashed. Who pays?
During an active trip, the TNC's commercial liability policy — up to $1 million — generally applies regardless of which driver caused the crash. As a passenger you are almost never at fault, which makes these strong claims when handled correctly.
A rideshare driver hit my car. Does Uber/Lyft insurance apply?
It depends on the driver's app status. Active ride or en route to pickup: the commercial policy applies. Waiting for a match: lower contingent limits apply. App off: only the driver's personal policy. We subpoena the trip data to prove the period.
Do rideshare cases settle differently?
The coverage is bigger, the defendants are corporate, and electronic evidence is central. That generally rewards early attorney involvement more than an ordinary auto claim does.
