We handle

How we build your case

Our investigation begins immediately. We secure dashcam footage from the rideshare vehicle and nearby traffic cameras throughout Baltimore. We analyze the driver’s complete history with Uber or Lyft, including past safety complaints, ratings drops, and previous incidents. GPS data reveals exact speeds and routes. We work with accident reconstruction specialists familiar with Baltimore’s unique traffic patterns, from the narrow streets of Fells Point to the busy corridors of Charles Street.

Rideshare insurance coverage explained

Driver offline (app off): The driver’s personal auto policy is the only available coverage. Many personal policies explicitly exclude rideshare activity, creating immediate coverage disputes that we navigate.

Driver online, awaiting request: This creates a coverage gap. Uber and Lyft provide minimal contingent liability coverage only if personal insurance denies. We aggressively pursue all available coverage during this phase.

Active trip (passenger on board): Uber and Lyft each provide $1 million in liability coverage. This is the strongest coverage period, and we maximize recovery by documenting all injuries, losses, and long-term impacts.

Damages we recover

Baltimore rideshare accident victims recover compensation for medical expenses from Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland Medical Center, and other providers. We document emergency treatment, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing care. Lost income claims include W-2 wages, gig work losses, and diminished earning capacity.

Maryland comparative negligence and rideshare accidents

Maryland follows contributory negligence, a harsh rule where any fault bars recovery. However, as a rideshare passenger, you typically bear no fault. We protect you from insurance companies trying to assign comparative blame. If you were a pedestrian or cyclist, we prove the rideshare driver’s complete negligence.

Statute of limitations and evidence preservation

Maryland’s three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims applies strictly. However, evidence disappears quickly—witness memories fade, surveillance footage gets deleted, and rideshare companies purge driver records. We recommend immediate consultation to preserve critical evidence.

Common causes of rideshare driver negligence

Distracted driving: Drivers juggling GPS, ride requests, and passenger communication cause crashes. We subpoena phone records and app usage logs to prove distraction. Fatigue: Late-night shifts and marathon driving sessions impair judgment. We investigate driver hours and rest periods. Aggressive driving: Drivers racing to complete rides often speed, run lights, or make unsafe lane changes on Baltimore’s congested roads.

What you pay

We handle rideshare accident cases on pure contingency. You pay no attorney fees unless we win. All litigation costs—expert witnesses, accident reconstruction, medical record retrieval—are advanced by our firm. When we win, costs are reimbursed from the settlement or judgment.
