Key Takeaways

1. Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance layers. Liability can shift depending on whether the driver was actively using the app, en route to a pickup, or transporting a passenger.

2. Multiple parties may be responsible. You may need to deal with the rideshare company, individual drivers, and other motorists—each with different coverage and legal obligations.

3. What you do after the crash matters. Seeking medical care, documenting the scene, and avoiding early insurance statements are critical to protecting your claim.

Do I Need a Portland Rideshare Accident Lawyer?

Yes, if you were injured and want to protect your rights. Rideshare accident cases are different from typical car accidents. They often involve:

• Multiple parties (the driver, the rideshare company, and other drivers);
• Several overlapping insurance policies; and
• Complex questions about who was “on the clock” during the crash.

A Portland rideshare accident attorney can help you cut through the red tape, determine liability, and pursue the full compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

What to Do After a Rideshare Accident in Portland

Whether riding in an Uber, driving your own car, or walking across the street, your steps after a rideshare accident can affect your health and legal claim. Here is what to do:

1. Call 911 and get medical attention—your well-being comes first;
2. Report the accident to the police and obtain a police report to document what happened;
3. Get contact and insurance information from all involved drivers, including Uber or Lyft drivers;
4. Take photos and gather witness statements, if you are able; and
5. Do not talk to insurance companies until you have spoken with a lawyer.

Are you unsure what to do after a rideshare accident? Call Mann Law. We offer free consultations and will walk you through your next steps—no pressure or obligation.

Who Is Liable in a Portland Rideshare Crash?

Liability in a rideshare accident can depend on several factors, including what the rideshare driver was doing at the time of the crash:

• Not logged into the app—the driver’s personal insurance may apply,
• Logged in but not with a passenger—Uber or Lyft may provide limited liability coverage, or
• With a passenger or on the way to pick one up—Uber/Lyft’s $1 million commercial policy likely applies.

In some cases, another driver may be at fault, or the rideshare driver and another party may share liability.

As your Portland Uber/Lyft accident lawyer, we investigate every angle. We determine who is responsible, identify every available insurance policy, and build a strong case on your behalf.

Common Injuries in Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare vehicles are on the road constantly, often in high-traffic areas or during peak hours. Crashes can result in serious injuries such as:

• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries,
• Concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs),
• Broken bones,
• Spinal cord injuries,
• Internal bleeding or organ damage, and
• Emotional trauma and anxiety.

We also represent injured pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers hit by rideshare vehicles. You focus on healing while we focus on making sure your voice is heard.

Our Insurance Insight That Can Work for You

Before founding Mann Law, Chrissy Mann worked inside the insurance industry, defending claims just like yours. She knows how insurance companies think, what they look for, and how they minimize payouts, especially in cases involving multiple insurers like rideshare claims.

That experience gives you a strategic advantage. We know how to position your case for a fair result and won’t let insurance adjusters take advantage of our clients.

At Mann Law, we do not believe in overpromising or pushing people into lawsuits they do not want. We believe in honest advice, informed decisions, and compassionate representation every step of the way.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive?

Rideshare accident victims often ask us how much their case is worth. While it is a fair question, we always answer it honestly: It depends.

Settlement amounts vary based on:

• The severity of your injuries;
• The length of your recovery;
• Your lost income and ability to work;
• Your pain, suffering, and emotional distress; and
• Insurance policy limits and liability findings.

We caution clients against trusting any lawyer who promises a big payout upfront. Without knowing the full details of your situation, any dollar amount is a potentially misleading guess.

At Mann Law, we will work hard to get what is fair for your case. We will explain every step of the process, keep you updated, and help you make informed decisions from start to finish.
