How Can a Rideshare Accident Attorney Help?

Rideshare companies classify drivers as independent contractors, often limiting their liability. Accessing insurance coverage—sometimes up to $1 million—can be complicated. Ring Jimenez, P.C. will handle insurance negotiations, gather evidence, and advocate for your medical expenses, lost wages, and damages.

Determining Liability in Rideshare Accidents

New Mexico is a fault-based insurance state. Liability may rest with the rideshare driver, the rideshare company, or both. Our attorneys investigate thoroughly, collecting:

  • Scene Photographs
  • Dashcam or Surveillance Footage
  • Mobile App Ride Data
  • Vehicle “black Box” Data
  • Eyewitness Statements
  • Statements From Passengers or Other Drivers

Proper evidence is essential to prove negligence and access insurance coverage.

Understanding Rideshare Insurance Coverage

Rideshare insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:

  • Period Zero: Driver offline; personal insurance applies.
  • Period One: Driver online, no ride request; Uber/Lyft liability applies at minimum state limits.
  • Period Two: Driver en route to pick up a passenger; $1 million liability coverage may apply.
  • Period Three: Passenger onboard; $1 million coverage plus collision and comprehensive protection applies.

A skilled Albuquerque rideshare accident lawyer can help navigate these periods and secure maximum compensation.
