Were You Injured in an Accident With an Uber or Lyft Driver?

Gone are the days when a goodwilled friend or taxicab was your only options to get to or from the airport. Today, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are popular in Harrisburg and the surrounding communities with hundreds of ordinary motorists using their private vehicles to provide transportation services on a daily basis.

While the convenience of these app-based rideshare services is appealing to many people, problems arise when rideshare drivers are involved in traffic accidents.

Recovering Compensation After a Rideshare Accident

Drivers who sign up with rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft are not legally classified as employees of these companies, but rather independent contractors. If you are injured in an accident involving a rideshare driver, this distinction can make it extremely challenging to recover compensation.

At Jacobson, Julius & Harshberger, we help passengers and drivers who are involved in traffic accidents with Uber, Lyft and other rideshare company drivers navigate the complex legal and insurance landscape to recover the compensation they need and deserve.

Our personal injury attorneys conduct a thorough accident investigation to determine what happened and who was at fault. We work tirelessly to represent you and your best interests when communicating with insurance companies to negotiate a settlement that provides just compensation for your injuries and losses including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Disability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
