THE INS AND OUTS OF RIDESHARE ACCIDENT LAWSUITS
Maybe you grabbed an Uber out of Tucson International Airport and your driver got in an accident, or maybe you were picking up your friend from the airport and were hit by a rideshare driver. Whatever the circumstances of the accident are, it is overwhelming. You might start asking yourself, “Should I call an injury lawyer near me?” The answer to that question is yes, you should, but only so that you can focus on recovering and we can take care of everything else.
To ease your mind, below we have explained some of the “ins and outs” of these types of accidents and lawsuits surrounding them. However, if you have any other questions, keep in mind that our Tucson rideshare accident lawyers are just a phone call away with answers.
Why These Accidents Are So Common and Dangerous
As rideshare drivers for services like Uber and Lyft have become increasingly visible, so have the risks that come along with their services. Distracted and drowsy driving have always been two of the biggest causes of car accidents in Tucson, and rideshare drivers—by the very nature of their jobs—are affected by both.
Many rideshare drivers work multiple jobs on top of their job with Uber and Lyft, and therefore can be exhausted by the time that they start picking up fares. Even if it is their only job, driving multiple hours non-stop would make anyone exhausted. This, combined with the other distractions of the job, can be very dangerous.
In addition to struggling with the distraction of drowsiness, rideshare drivers also have to manage their app while they are driving. Not only are they paying attention to the directions for the trip they are on, but they also need to be looking out for new trips and accepting or denying them. Just as texting is a dangerous activity, so is this! Therefore, it is no surprise that oftentimes rideshare drivers will get distracted and cause accidents.
Drivers can even get distracted and cause accidents when their backseat is empty. Because drivers usually don’t know who they are picking up or necessarily where that person is, they oftentimes have to look around their surroundings and stop and go quite a bit before they find their passenger. Sometimes they’ll need to make sudden stops if they pass where they are going, or if they see their passenger wave them down. These common distractions—especially at busy places like airports—can be extremely dangerous to other drivers around.
Why These Accidents Are Complicated
In some ways, rideshare accidents are just like any other accident, such as in the sense that the person who was not at fault should be able to recover compensation for their injuries. In other ways, however, these cases can be a bit more complicated. The biggest reason that these cases are complex is that sometimes it isn’t clear who exactly should be the defendant.
Sometimes the Lyft or Uber driver is clearly at fault, but on occasion that could render the rideshare provider company at fault too. Additionally, if it is unclear whether the driver was just driving around for personal reasons or was actually “on the clock,” it can be confusing whose insurance company is responsible, the driver’s or the provider’s. Occasionally there are even other parties who could be responsible, like the manufacturer of your Uber driver’s car.
Another reason these lawsuits can be complicated is that these rideshare companies are huge and very successful, and because of that, they have insurance companies that will fight you tooth and nail to keep you from getting any compensation at all. The insurance company that Uber or Lyft hires has one incentive: to make profit. That means if there is anything they can do to keep themselves from having to pay you out, they will do it, even if it means calling and tricking you to get an admission of fault that may help their case.
You shouldn’t have to deal with the rideshare provider’s insurance company all on your own, which is why our Tucson injury lawyers are able and willing to take on that task for you. Our experienced personal injury lawyers know how to investigate these claims and how to fight for you in an Arizona court if necessary to get the compensation you deserve.
After your 100% free consultation with one of our Tucson accident lawyers, our lawyers will assess your case and help you figure out what type of cause of action you might have. Then, our will dig deep into what happened and who was at fault. During this investigation process, they may need some help from you, such as help getting them the documents they need about your medical expenses or property damage.
After this investigatory period, our Tucson rideshare accident lawyers will then negotiate with the insurance company that is working for the defendants. If the insurance company makes a settlement offer that you are comfortable with, then you can reserve your right to sue them and accept the award. If the company doesn’t suggest an amount that you are comfortable with, our Tucson accident lawyer will then take the case to trial.
CAUSES OF ACTION
There are different types of causes of action that you as the plaintiff might assert. What you need to prove will depend on the type of cause of action.
Negligence
The most common cause of action is negligence. By asserting negligence, you are arguing that the defendant owed you a duty of care and breached that duty, which then caused you damages. Thus, the four elements you need to prove are: duty, breach, causation, and damages.
Product Liability
If the cause of the accident was a defective product, such as malfunctioning brakes in the Uber driver’s car, then you would bring a products liability lawsuit. To prove product liability, you would need to prove,
a) that the product was defective,
b) that the defective property caused you to have a loss of property or injury, and
c) that the product was used as a reasonable individual would have.
Strict Liability
In Arizona, this type of claim can also be based on strict liability, which is easier to prove because it does not matter whether the defendant was negligent or not.
Wrongful Death
If you unfortunately lost a loved one in a rideshare car accident, your cause of action would then be wrongful death. In Arizona, this is defined as a death that was caused by “a wrongful act, neglect, or default.” To prove a wrongful death cause of action, the plaintiff needs to show that the defendant was negligent.

Why Hire a Zinda Law Group Tucson Rideshare Accident Lawyer
This may seem like a lot of information, but you don’t need to remember all of it yourself; hiring an attorney who already knows all these facts can relieve you of most of the burden. Our experienced Tucson rideshare accident lawyers take care of this burden for you by investigating your case and determining what cause of action you might have and how to go about proving it.
After filing the case in court, your Tucson injury lawyer will litigate any pre-trial motions necessary; after that is done, the case will go to trial. At any point up until the case goes to the jury, the insurance company can make an offer and you can accept. If a settlement doesn’t take place, then it is up to the jury to decide if you have prevailed and, if so, how much compensation you should be awarded.
Securing Compensation for Your Losses
The compensation you receive may also depend on the claim that you bring; generally you will be entitled to two kinds of damages: economic damages and non-economic damages. Together, these cover expenses like your medical bills and property loss as well as compensation for things like your pain and suffering. If your claim is for wrongful death, you may receive funeral and burial expenses as well as the lost wages and benefits that your loved one would have earned if he or she was not deceased.
In Arizona, a plaintiff can also be awarded punitive damages. These damages require the defendant to compensate the victims as a means of punishment for their poor actions. These damages can vary in amount; they can also be difficult to prove in court, which is a good reason why it is so important to hire an experienced Tucson accident lawyer.
WHAT A PASSENGER SHOULD DO AFTER A RIDESHARE ACCIDENT
Unfortunately, there are no options on the Uber or Lyft apps to elect out of accidents during your rides, but although you can’t prevent accidents, you can prepare yourself for how you will respond to them. If you were a passenger in a rideshare vehicle and were injured in an accident, take these following steps to best prepare yourself for success:
1. Make Sure the Police Are Called
Your driver and the other driver may be fine, and the property damage may not be bad, so they may not feel like calling the police, but you should make sure that they do. It is important that the police come to the scene and fill out a report so that there is a written record of the accident occurring. If the police don’t come and you later on need to sue for compensation, it could be your word against the drivers; when the officer writes the report, make sure it includes that you were a paying passenger when the accident occurred, and make sure you get a copy of the report.
2. Get Checked Out by Medical Personnel
When the police arrive, medical personnel should come to the scene as well. If they ask you if you want to get checked out, it is in your best interest to say yes, even if your injuries don’t feel too serious in the moment; many common injuries from car accidents may start off seeming to not be serious but then can escalate if left untreated overtime. It is very important that you put your health and wellbeing first, even if that means holding up your Uber driver from carrying on with his or her shift.
3. Document Everything
Don’t leave that up to the police; you should also document everything that you can. Take pictures of the cars and their damage as well as any visible injuries you have. It is required that your driver have a decal on his or her windshield indicating what rideshare provider they work for; take a picture of that decal as well.
You should also write down the contact information of your rideshare driver, the other driver, and any witnesses that were present. Having the contact information of the witnesses can help later on if we need to file the case in court.
4. Call Zinda Law Group
In Arizona, you generally will only have two years to bring your lawsuit, and although that seems like a good stretch of time, the earlier you call an attorney the better. At Zinda Law Group our Tucson rideshare accident lawyers are experienced, driven, and empathetic attorneys who are waiting to help you take the first step towards getting the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

I am so glad I called Zinda law group. being hit by a drink driver was the worst experience of my life physically and emotionally.

My experience with Zinda Law Group has been OUTSTANDING! Big shoutout to Joe Caputo and his team!I was the passenger in a terrible car accident that left me needing medical attention. The person at faults insurance company reassured me that my medical bills would be taken care of. However, that was not the case. I started receiving multiple calls from debt collectors, and bill after bill by mail. The driver’s insurance company no longer returned my calls, and emails went unanswered. I was so stressed and over my head with how to handle the situation. It was time to call the pros! As soon as I made the call to Zinda Law Group, Joe and his team I were on it! I no longer received calls from debt collectors, so I knew action was taken immediately. I was informed every step of the way, and every call/email was answered. Had I called sooner, I would have never gone through all that stress. I was treated like a friend, not just a client.Thank you Zinda Law Group!
I hired Zinda for a crazy situation involving an 18 wheeler where an object flew off a trailer and blasted through my windshield.I reached out to Zinda and spoke with Michael Cupero, my attorney at Zinda, after the accident once I realized this is affecting my day to day life in a significant way (PTSD from a "Final Destination" type of incident) and Michael was nothing short of fantastic through the entire process.The Zinda team, including Michael and Mary-Catherine Holt and several others, guided me through the entire process from initial settlement offers, filing the lawsuit, depositions, the whole 9.They listened to my concerns, provided clarity and perspective when needed, and not once did I feel that my best interest was not at the forefront of their actions and behavior through my experience as a client.Thank you Michael, Mary-Catherine and Zinda!If you want a team that will treat you with professionalism, respect, and understanding then do yourself a favor and reach out to Zinda!
Extremely professional and communicative . They explained the process as we went along and made it very clear weighting pros and cons. They understood my pain and my worries but kept their expertise always on the top of things finding elements for me to win my case. I am thankful to have had Zinda Law Group to support me during those two years as it finalized and I can keep on living.
My experience with Zinda law group has been wonderful from start to finish. Natasha and Emily explained everything very well and answered any questions I had, communicated well throughout the whole process , and handled the case very professionally, they worked very hard on my case I would definitely highly recommend to friends and family.
I found myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. After looking over reviews in the area, I decided to contact Natasha at Zinda law group in the hopes that she could represent me . Natasha put me at ease with her responsiveness and her ability to accommodate my last minute needs. I had no idea what to expect. It felt like a wave of relief knowing that you're working with a professional that knows what she's doing, and knows how to get things done quickly and efficiently. I appreciate the time and attention that Natasha put into my case. I hope I won't be needing their services again in the future, but I would absolutely contact them again if I do. Thanks again
I am very satisfied with the service and the outcome of my case.Since the first phone call, and every step of the way until the end, Zinda Law was on top of every detail pertaining to my auto accident case.The case is now closed, and looking back, they made every step of the process easy and manageable. They were very thorough in explaining the different scenarios, and extremely transparent with all the possible outcomes.Thank you to every person who aided in the success of my case, all of whom were exceptional in their tasks and working as a team.
The Zinda Law Group was outstanding in helping me with my aunts case. My two Attorneys Neil and Shivangi were very compassionate, kind, eager to help, and really listen carefully and attentively to my case about my aunt. My aunt got hit by a driver while crossing the street and killed. I went after the guys insurance; although, this doesn't bring back my aunt, but allows for this not to happen to other people like this in her case. These attorneys worked very hard and efficiently to bring the justice that they saw fit. When I had a question they explained in terms I understood and not above and beyond me. I appreciate it when people can come down to my level and not intimidate and use trepidation on someone in feeling like they are the fly while they're the spider waiting for the right moment for the fly to walk into its web.Neil and Shivangi always whenever they called asked me how I was at the beginning of our conversations and is there anything I needed at the end of each call. Each call they made to me, was made very professional, personable and felt heart felt as if you were part of the family. At the end of each subject matter they always asked, "Do you have any questions for me before we go to the next thing we need to talk about?" They always wanted to make sure I understood everything before the next item we needed to talk about. These guys really are good and want to please the client anyway they can I thought; when I first started talking to them. I give them above and beyond a 5-Star rating if there was such a thing. I Highly Recommend The Zinda Law Group to Anyone who needs them. This is what I give them if I could!!💯💯💯💯💯 and👍👍👍👍👍 and⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❗❗❗THANK YOU TO NEIL, SHIVANGI, MARA AND TO EVERYONE AT THE ZINDA LAW GROUP WHO WORKED ON MY CASE!! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!
I would like to recognize a fantastic attorney named Joe Caputo from Zinda Law Group. I was involved in an auto accident that had many complicated moving parts that were hard to navigate and understand as a victim. Joe was so gracious and spent quality time explaining what courses of action I needed to take as a victim to protect myself. Joe was also diligent in following up with me regarding my case and provided guides and checklists that were extremely helpful to keep things organized and moving. Joe was always readily available for my questions and responded promptly. Joe Caputo's excellent counsel ensured I protected myself when dealing with the opposing insurance company and ensured the best possible outcome for my case. Joe's expertise in personal injury lawsuits helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that follows the aftermath of an auto accident. Thanks again Joe! You are truly an amazing, kind person and attorney!
Zinda Law was incredibly amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Michael and his incredibly hard working team after my wreck in November. They went above and beyond keeping up with my health, bills, insurance companies, all that fun stuff I had no time for. After what felt like such a short amount of time, they were able to win every last penny from the "bad guys" insurance (loved that term). I couldn't happier, and even though I went through something traumatic, it was still the best experience I could have ever asked for. Thank you Michael and everyone that helped with my case, yall are the best!!
My attorney was Christina , she and her team gave me the best outcome for my case .I am giving an honesty review at first I was very upset because I kept getting moved around and I never knew who I was talking to because they switch attorneys and kept changing my paralegals.. I was going to go with another law firm but Christina helped me with my case from then on out and she worked around my schedule to talk to me which I appreciate. Also my last law firm took 30 percent, and this one took 33 percent which I wasn’t to happy so just a heads up. Overall I rate this 4 stars cause I’m just happy the case is over with and I get to go back to my life.Update: I just received another call from my attorney and they have worked to negotiate my case with the billing and have put more money in my pocket. All the money that I had spent while working on the case has came back to me. I can fully move on and say that I have gain every penny that was lose during those hard times. I’m so happy and thankful to Zinda law group!!!!!!
Zinda Law Group did an excellent job with my case. The staff was super friendly and super effective as far as communicating with me throughout the entire case. I highly recommend Zinda Law Group for your next case and for any of your future cases. 5 Stars across the board thank you so much for everything!
Joh Harper, Priyonka Bhikha, and the rest of the team gave my case a quick and satisfactory conclusion. The attorney, Mr. Harper did an absolutely amazing job keeping me on the same page as far as the case goes. Honestly, if anybody is hurt in a car wreck or another personal injury case, I WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEAK TO THEM.
I was in a motor vehicle collision about two years ago. From the minute I picked up the phone to speak with a representative to the case finally settling, it was a great experience. I worked with Burgess Williams and his team (Kathy, Ryan, and Linda) throughout the process. They were all very professional and helpful when I needed them the most.
Great Firm. I was in motorcycle accident- T-boned at a full stop with my daughter riding on back. Zinda's team was instantly responsive. Christina was very compassionate, organized and scheduled time before every legal event to discuss goals and overview. The process was 2 years but during that time the lawyers and staff (John and Shane were also great) were always available and understanding. The team is focused on doing what is right and by the book. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is suffering from a motorcycle accident.
Jason Aldridge and his paralegal Mara did an absolutely amazing job on my case. They were very responsive to all emails, calls and even texts. They treated me with dignity and respect from start to finish. I never once felt like my case was at the back of the list or anything. Not only did they explain and walked me through everything, they got me the help I needed and a final outcome over what I had expected. I would highly recommend this law firm, Jason and Mara to anyone seeking legal assistance.
Highly Recommended-100% Satisfied!.From the initial phone call I felt confident I chose the right firm. They explained the process and I was always in the loop, even when we were at a stand still. Very grateful I was quickly referred to them by a friend who had a similar case. Both of us are happy with the end result. Thank you!
My team of lawyer were very professional and communicated extremely clearly. They kept me updated on their status and did not make me worry at all about my situation. They explained everything to me very well and put things into simple terms for my understanding. I am very satisfied with their performance.
I would recommend them to anyone that's been involved in an accident and feels skeptical in engaging an attorney.When one gets into an accident, you're traumatized, confused, angry and helpless.That was me last year, getting all kinds of advice becomes your next norm, to use or not to use an attorney.I was in so much pain from my injuries but at the same time knew I had to act fast.I called Zinda Law Group for consultation, they took my case seriously and treated me with respect, they were very professional and understanding.Elizabeth, kudos to you, you're true to your word, Integrity should be your last name.Jason Aldridge my attorney went to work immediately, he assured me that all be well and I should concentrate on my healing and he will do the rest. Thank your Sir, You did just that.His team, Mara, Zuleyma and Andrew, they all become my support system, so professional and lots of respect in each and everyphone call or email. Thank you guys.I would recommend anyone to use Zinda Law Group.
I honestly loved not dealing with the hospital bills while I was recuperating. It gave me peace of mind going through this process and Zinda took care of everything. They found awesome health providers for me and haven't had to worry about anything while they've been taking my case. I've been well informed, communicated with, responded to and understood by Zinda. They have been efficient and effective while working on my case and I'm so glad I choose to go with this law firm.
When I was injured in a car accident in March of 2020 the insurance companies were not concerned with my well being. I called Zinda Law group & spoke with Reagan, who went over my concerns & later had Jono contact me. After reviewing my information with Jono my case was immediately put in motion. I worked mainly with Sam Thomas who truly was a blessing to me, he was very supportive & genuinely concerned with my well being, everything wasn't simply about the case it was about me being healed & getting the proper treatment that I needed. Sam was also emotionally supportive when I went through several losses in my family & is a great friend. In all everyone was extremely supportive & all worked for me which was quite a different legal experience for me from Law groups in my past. I was well supported, always informed, treated with respect & made the priority in all decisions. Zinda Law Group made sure I was compensated completely & that I didn't have financial stresses over hospital bills after all was said & done. Sam, Katrina, Mary Catherine, Reagan & Jono I just want to thank you & all of Zinda for the incredible experience & the wonderful caring people that you all are, you are truly Golden in your field.
They helped me after I got into car accident, they are such a great professional business. I would honestly recommend them to anyone that would need help after a car accident for sure, they kept me up to date with everything that was happening on with my case. I had multiple people working on my said case and they were very professional and nice whenever they had called me and kept it very simple for me to understand what was actually going on. I'm extremely happy that I had found them and went with them to help me and I'm so thankful for them. 10/10 would recommend!
I am so glad I got in touch with Zinda! My car accident occurred just 4 days prior to moving, during the busiest week of the year at my job, and just a week before the quarantine was declared a new reality for all of us. Everyone at Zinda remained persistent, supportive, and most of all advocated for me throughout such a chaotic time. I’ll always be grateful for the care they took to make sure my health and well-being were taken care of. So super grateful to know that a split second mistake someone else made doesn’t have to dictate my life. Thanks!
My experience with Zinda Law Group was better than expected. After an accident that totalled my car, I reached out and was paired with a wonderful attorney. She communicated frequently and responded to my calls and texts in a timely manner. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I was kept in the loop during every step of the process. I would call Zinda Law if I ever need this type of support again.
I had an excellent experience working with the attorneys at Zinda Law Group! They were knowledgeable, professional and patient. They walked me through every step of the long process of getting treatment after my car wreck and kept me updated with timeframes and next steps. I would absolutely recommend anyone working with them!
They helped me with so much! I had a dog bite happen 2019 and it was very heart breaking! This law group made everything so easy to help me through a rough time! John Rogers and Shane Eckert were very easy to talk to and open about if I needed to talk about frustrations I had with bills. Everything got closed before Christmas and I was so blessed! I highly recommend them no matter what! Thank you guys so much!
Zinda Law Group helped me with my personal injury case after an auto accident. I was hurt pretty badly and I wasn't sure which attorney to call, I looked at reviews for Zinda Law and called right away.Kaitlin Nares and her team were so responsive and helpful. Kaitlin called me right away and helped me navigate through a very difficult process and time in my life. Being hurt in a car accident changes you!!! My case settled for more than I thought it would, and a lot quicker. I know sometimes things are more complicated, but my case was settled in only 3 months after my accident. Mary-Catherine was also so helpful in making sure everything was finalized! I have referred two people who have recently been in auto accident because it's not IF, its WHEN these days... I usually don't write reviews unless I feel strongly about sharing my experience to help others! Thank you!!!
I was referred here by a family member. Our lawyer jason and his team did and amazing job. They kept me updated in everything made sure I understood what was going on. My son was hit by a van in the hospital jason came right over. He's awesome so much down to earth straight forward. I would recommend him and his firm to everyone and I have thank you zinda but most of all thank you Jason for being there for us for being a friend
Zinda Law Group was recommended to me from another satisfied client and I certainly received excellent service. The attorneys and staff are very proactive with communication and I knew every step of the way what was happening on my case. I never felt pressured with decision making and they went above & beyond to answer questions with satifactory explanations. This is a very professional group of attorneys & support staff. In addition, they were willing to meet me at a location more convenient for me. I appreciated their concern for my time.
Could not speak highly enough of the firm. I was involved in my first accident and thankfully had Zinda Law Group supporting me through the scary time. Jono took care of me every step of the way. He made me feel like I was a priority through the entire process. A big thank you to Jono and the rest of the Zinda crew!
WHAT THE OTHER DRIVER SHOULD DO AFTER A RIDESHARE ACCIDENT
If you were injured in a car accident caused by another driver who works for a rideshare company, take the following steps to best set yourself up for success:
1. Call the Police
In order for you to be compensated to the maximum potential possible later on, it is very important that there be documentation of the accident that confirms that the other driver was “on the clock” at the time of the accident. In order for their rideshare provider’s insurance plan to kick in, the driver must have been in the process of providing a ride or waiting for a fare; thus, even if the damage doesn’t seem to be too bad, you should always call the police to the scene. When they are there, make sure it is written in the report that the other driver works for the rideshare provider and was either in the process of making a rideshare job-related trip or was waiting for a rideshare job-related trip at the time of the accident.
2. Get Checked Out By Medical Personnel
Even if your injuries don’t seem severe, it is always a good idea to get checked out by a doctor as soon as you can. Many injuries if left untreated can get worse and can even become fatal.
3. Document Everything
In addition to making sure that the police report is representative of what happened, you should also document everything yourself as well. Take down the other driver’s name and insurance information. If they had a passenger in their car take down that person’s name and information too as well as any other witnesses who saw the accident.
If you are well enough to, try to take pictures of the physical damage to the cars and of any visible injuries you have. The other driver should have a decal on that vehicle signifying the rideshare provider they work for, and if you can, you should take a picture of that as well.
4. Call Zinda Law Group
Even if it may feel like a “normal” car accident, it is Uber or Lyft’s insurance company whom you will be fighting with, which is why it is so important to retain an experienced Tucson rideshare accident lawyer as soon as you can.
