Experienced Uber Accident Attorneys

Last updated on April 30, 2025

If you were injured in an Uber accident, Lyft collision, or other rideshare crash, we know what you are going through. Recovering from injuries while navigating the complexities of an accident claim can be overwhelming, which is why our attorneys at Atwood Law are here to help you.

Our offices in Lincoln, Omaha, and Des Moines help those harmed in a rideshare accident secure fair compensation. Our team offers effective legal representation for passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers injured in rideshare accidents.

Types Of Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare accidents can happen in various traffic situations, with rear-end and side-impact collisions being among the most common—and often most serious. Key scenarios include:

Passenger injuries: Riders in Uber or Lyft vehicles may suffer injuries due to driver negligence or collisions with other vehicles.
Third-party incidents: Other drivers involved in the crash may suffer injuries or share responsibility for the accident
Pedestrian and bicyclist injuries: Rideshare vehicles can pose risks to pedestrians and bicyclists, especially in busy urban areas.

Understanding a Rideshare Company’s Liability

Determining liability in rideshare accidents can be complex. Uber and Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors, which can impact claims against the rideshare companies. However, rideshare companies often provide insurance coverage for accidents occurring during active rides or while drivers are en route to pick up passengers.

Our attorneys thoroughly investigate each case to identify all liable parties and maximize compensation for the injured. Whether the driver, rideshare company, or another party is at fault, we are dedicated to achieving justice for accident victims.

I cannot thank you enough for the peace of mind you have brought to my family! Both of my parents are extremely grateful for your work. I knew we were in good hands from the first meeting and you have exceeded all my expectations! It may feel straightforward to you, but to us, you have moved mountains. This settlement will allow my parents, particularly my Dad, to enjoy the rest of their lives to the fullest of their abilities. We all agree that we would give every cent back and more for my Dad to walk again, but that is not going to happen...

"...He didn't treat me like I was one of 100 clients. He treated me like I was his only client. He acted professionally but with empathy, dignity and friendliness. It didn't matter if it was something small or large, he was always there for me, be it by phone, fax, email, cellphone or meeting me personally at his office or elsewhere. He never rushed me when I didn't understand something, he'd take as much time as needed to explain things to me, especially when it came time for my deposition and in preparation for trial. He was there for me when I truly needed his help..."

"...My husband and I felt his kindness immediately and were both very impressed with his knowledge of what to expect in a wrongful death case. He pursued our claim in an aggressive manner while at the same time being very protective of our rights and privacy and sheltered us from any unnecessary contact with insurance agents, or any other adverse parties. My husband and I cannot say enough about the kindness, professionalism and legal ability demonstrated by Atwood Law"

"...If it were not for this law firm all I would have received from this injury would have been a loss of income check and a pat on the back, goodbye. Which only would have been a fraction of what I actually received. He was always professional but more importantly he cared about me and my family as people not just a client. He went beyond his role as my lawyer. He even spoke with my bank and explained why I was behind on my car payment. And this saved me getting my car repossessed..."
