Sacramento Rideshare Accident Attorney

Support & Justice for Rideshare Accident Victims in Sacramento

At Smolich and Smolich, we understand how disruptive a rideshare accident can be. Whether you were in an Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare vehicle, our team is here to offer personalized legal assistance. If you've been injured in an accident, our dedicated rideshare accident attorneys in Sacramento are ready to stand by your side and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Rideshare accidents often differ from typical car collisions due to the unique insurance situations involved. Uber and Lyft provide liability coverage that applies differently depending on whether the driver was logged in and accepting rides. Navigating these policies can become complex without proper legal guidance, especially since California's rideshare regulations mandate specific insurance coverages. Our attorneys are adept at interpreting these intricate insurance layers to ensure you receive appropriate compensation. Sacramento's bustling urban landscape also contributes to increased rideshare activity, inherently raising the risk of accidents due to high traffic volumes and frequent stops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Steps Should I Take Following a Rideshare Accident?

After ensuring your safety, gather as much information as possible. Take photos of the scene, exchange information with all parties involved, and obtain contact details from witnesses. Report the accident to the rideshare company immediately and seek medical attention even if you feel uninjured, as some injuries manifest later. Finally, contact a rideshare accident attorney in Sacramento to discuss your case.

How Is Liability Determined in a Rideshare Accident?

Liability in rideshare accidents can involve multiple parties, including the rideshare driver, other motorists, the rideshare company, and even third parties like vehicle manufacturers. Our team assesses police reports, witness statements, and other evidence to identify who is responsible, using our local experience to navigate Sacramento’s legal landscape effectively.

Can I Sue the Rideshare Company Directly?

While it can be challenging to hold a rideshare company directly liable due to their classification of drivers as independent contractors, their insurance policies often cover incidents involving their drivers. We help evaluate coverage options and pursue all potential avenues for compensation, ensuring you understand your rights under California law.

What Compensation Can I Expect from a Rideshare Accident Claim?

Compensation varies based on accident specifics but may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Our dedicated team works diligently to secure maximum compensation, considering both the immediate and long-term impacts of your injury.

Why Do I Need a Rideshare Accident Attorney?

Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts. Having an attorney ensures that you have strong representation to counteract these tactics. Our knowledge of Sacramento courts and laws means we can effectively navigate the process, save you stress, and maximize your claim.

  • "You were so proactive and informative, you really did take away so much of my stress during the whole process."
    I sincerely apologize for the delay! I truly thought I had already sent this off to almost 3 months ago! Thank goodness I had someone helping me clean and organize the apartment last week. She found your letter behind my bookcase. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your support and dedication throughout my case. You were a true blessing to me. You were so proactive and informative, you really did take away so much of my stress during the whole process. Just the fact that you returned a call so promptly was a very big deal to me. It let me know that I mattered to you, Sarah, and the firm. Thanks to the two of you I am finally settled in my own apartment and my mom was able to finally retire. So again, thank you from the depths of my heart for everything that you personally and your firm have done for me. You were true angels in my tie of need.

  • "Thank you Sarah and team!"
    I needed to apply for disability and knew nothing about how to go about it. Sarah called me and explained the process and assured me everything would be okay. Her staff went online to fill out my application. She and Marlena kept me updated every step of the way. Within a short time a decision was made in my favor. I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights I had prior to meeting with the team. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help in this area. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Without you I could have never done this.

I highly recommend them to anyone for a fantastic and timely managed experience. Thank you Smolich & Smolich!

  • "They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!"
    Thank you so much for your help. I was denied twice by social security disability. They are the most diligent and wonderfully. Yes it takes a while to get a hearing. If it wasn't for the great staff and attorneys here, I would have never been approved for disability. It was the best Christmas gift i received. They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!

  • "Without Smolich & Smolich taking my case I would have never gotten my benefits!!!"
    Without Smolich & Smolich taking my case I would have never gotten my benefits!!! Rob Smolich took my case himself and was so helpful in every step of the way. I cant say anything negative about Smolich & Smolich. I had a lawyer before him and he was way more personable. His office took all the stress off my back and made me feel at ease during the time period of waiting. Have nothing but good things to say about this company. They are completely professional!!!!

  • "I am so happy to have such knowledgeable and helpful people to help during this difficult time. Sam was super responsive and always willing to answer questions, regardless how big or small."
    My circumstances were a bit unusual - my husband applied for Social Security Disability, but unfortunately passed away during the review process. Sam and Sarah worked diligently to see the case through to the end, and provide our family the benefits we were owed. A special thank you to Sam, he was always very responsive, willing to go above and beyond, and willing to answer questions whether big or small. Thank you, Smolich and Smolich!
