Services like Uber and Lyft have become popular ways to get around Abilene, but accidents involving rideshare vehicles can raise complicated legal questions. Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or another driver, Zinda Law Group’s rideshare accident attorneys can help you seek compensation and hold the right parties accountable.
Who May Be Liable in a Rideshare Crash?
Liability in rideshare accidents often depends on what the rideshare driver was doing at the time of the crash:
- App Off: Driver’s personal insurance applies
- App On (No Ride Accepted): Limited Uber/Lyft liability may apply

Our Abilene personal injury lawyers will determine what policy applies and help you file a claim accordingly.
