What Are My Legal Options If I Was Hurt in a Collision Involving a Rideshare Vehicle Near the Rose Bowl or During a Major Event?

If you were injured in a collision involving a rideshare vehicle, such as an Uber or Lyft, near the Rose Bowl or during a major Pasadena event, you may have multiple legal options depending on the crash circumstances and who was at fault.

Rideshare collisions can be legally complex because they often involve multiple parties and layered insurance policies. Whether you were a passenger in the rideshare, a pedestrian, a cyclist, or an occupant of another vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Here’s how these claims typically unfold:

Determining Liability

The first step is identifying who caused the crash.

Liability may rest with:

The rideshare driver, if they were distracted, speeding, or disobeyed traffic laws.
Another driver, if they caused the crash by making an illegal turn, or running a red light.
Multiple drivers, if the collision involved several vehicles, which is common during congested events.
In rare cases, the city or event organizers may be liable if poor traffic control or hazardous conditions contributed to the incident.

Insurance Coverage Options

California law requires rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft to provide insurance coverage, but the amount of coverage depends on the driver’s activity at the time of the crash.

App Off: The driver’s insurance applies if the rideshare app was off.
App On, No Ride Accepted: When the driver is logged in but hasn’t accepted a ride, limited rideshare-provided liability coverage applies, usually $50,000 per person for injuries, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 for property damage.
En Route or Passenger On Board: If the driver is on their way to pick someone up or already has a passenger, Uber or Lyft’s $1 million liability policy applies.

As a passenger, you are always covered under this $1 million policy if the rideshare driver was at fault or uninsured/underinsured motorists were involved.

Filing a Claim

Depending on who is at fault, you may need to:

File a claim against the rideshare company’s insurance policy.
Pursue a claim against another driver’s insurance if they caused the crash.
Use your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if applicable.

It’s not unusual for insurance companies to shift blame or delay processing when a significant event, heavy traffic, or multiple parties are involved, which is why legal representation is essential.
