Determining Liability in Rideshare Accidents


Determining liability in a rideshare accident requires a thorough review of all parties involved. If the rideshare driver was at fault, their personal insurance or the rideshare company’s insurance may be responsible, depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. In some cases, other drivers, vehicle manufacturers, or even local government entities may share responsibility. At Ryan Dolinar Law, we work to identify all liable parties, ensuring that your case is as strong as possible to maximize your compensation.

    Typically, you have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim. Acting promptly allows us to collect evidence and build a strong case for your compensation.
