The Injury Partners represents Uber accident victims throughout Beverly Hills and all of Los Angeles County — passengers, drivers struck by Uber vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and Uber drivers hurt by third parties. Our office is at 499 N. Canon Dr., Suite B1, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, and we are available 24/7. We also represent families who have lost loved ones in fatal rideshare crashes.
Los Angeles County recorded more than 55,000 injury-producing collisions in 2023, and Beverly Hills corridors carry a disproportionate share of rideshare-related crashes. Beverly Hills generates heavy Uber traffic throughout the day and night. Pickups and drop-offs happen constantly around the Beverly Wilshire, the Four Seasons, and The Peninsula Beverly Hills, along Rodeo Drive and the Golden Triangle, and at restaurants along Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, and Sunset Boulevard. LAX transfer routes via the 405 carry a steady stream of rideshare vehicles through the area at all hours.
When a crash happens here, your claim depends on local details. The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) handles crash investigations in Beverly Hills, not LAPD. Treatment records from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center or UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center document your injuries. Surveillance footage from hotels, restaurants, and businesses along major corridors can be overwritten in days. And Uber accident cases filed in Beverly Hills are heard in Los Angeles Superior Court, including the Beverly Hills Courthouse. The steps you take right after a crash can determine whether the right insurance policy covers your injuries and whether critical app evidence is preserved.

Uber app data, GPS pings, trip logs, and hotel or restaurant surveillance footage can become harder to obtain as time passes. The sooner you act, the stronger your evidence will be.
You choose The Injury Partners as your uber accident lawyer in Beverly Hills because you work directly with a founding attorney from your first call through the resolution of your Uber claim. Large injury firms route new clients through a call center and hand the file to a case manager, which slows every decision on your rideshare case. Here, the attorney who answers your questions is the same attorney who sends preservation letters to Uber, values your claim, and prepares it for court when the insurer refuses to pay fairly.
Founding attorneys Omeed Hakimianpour and Daniel Sabet built the firm to pair the resources of a large practice with the attention of a boutique. Omeed earned Super Lawyers Rising Stars recognition in 2025 and 2026, a distinction limited to the top 2.5 percent of California attorneys, and you can read more about our background on our team page. We hold a 5.00 Google rating, have recovered more than $1 million for injured clients, and take every Uber case on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we win.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day because Uber trip data and nearby surveillance footage can disappear within days of a crash. When evidence around Rodeo Drive or the Golden Triangle needs to be preserved before it is overwritten, we act right away.
Why Uber Accident Clients Choose The Injury Partners:
Your Uber claim is different from a standard car accident claim because the insurance coverage available to you depends entirely on what the driver was doing in the app at the moment of the crash. That distinction between Period 0, Period 1, Period 2, and Period 3 changes which policy applies, what the coverage limits are, and how the claim is handled. We evaluate app status, trip logs, GPS pings, and timestamps early in the process. We send preservation letters to Uber Technologies Inc. and third-party administrators to protect your evidence. And we move quickly to collect local Beverly Hills evidence, including BHPD reports, hotel and restaurant surveillance footage, and pickup and drop-off zone documentation.
The insurance coverage available to you after an Uber crash depends entirely on what the driver was doing in the app at the moment of impact. California law under Public Utilities Code § 5433 and Assembly Bill 2293 requires Uber to maintain specific insurance coverage at each stage of the ride cycle. The California Department of Insurance oversees insurance regulation statewide, while the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates TNCs like Uber directly.
Uber Insurance Coverage by Period
| Period | Driver Activity | Bodily Injury Limit | Property Damage Limit | UM/UIM Coverage |
| Period 0 | App off | Driver’s personal auto policy applies | Driver’s personal auto policy applies | Depends on personal policy |
| Period 1 | App on, waiting for ride match | $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident | $30,000 property damage | $200,000 excess coverage per occurrence where applicable |
| Period 2 | Ride accepted, en route to pickup | $1 million commercial liability | Covered under commercial policy | $1 million UM/UIM |
| Period 3 | Passenger on board | $1 million commercial liability | Covered under commercial policy | $1 million UM/UIM |
California’s minimum auto liability requirements under California Vehicle Code § 16056 are $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident for bodily injury and $15,000 for property damage — amounts tracked and enforced by the California DMV. These minimums are often woefully inadequate for serious injuries, which is why the TNC policy limits matter so much in rideshare cases. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirms that rideshare-involved crashes often produce injuries that exceed standard personal auto policy limits.
Uber’s TNC insurance structure is virtually identical to Lyft’s under AB 2293, though the claim-handling procedures and third-party administrators differ. If your crash involved Lyft rather than Uber, a Beverly Hills Lyft accident lawyer can help determine which TNC policy applies based on the driver’s app status and ride period. For broader rideshare claims involving either platform, a Beverly Hills rideshare accident lawyer can help evaluate the available coverage.
App data, trip logs, and timestamps are the evidence that proves which period applies to your crash. If the driver disputes app status or Uber’s insurer questions the period, this data becomes the foundation of your claim.
If you need help determining which Uber insurance period applies to your crash, call (310) 220-0066.
It may, but not automatically. This coverage applies during Period 2, when the driver has accepted a ride and is en route to the pickup, and during Period 3, when you are in the vehicle.
If the driver’s app was off, you would likely be filing against the driver’s personal auto policy. If the driver was in Period 1, the lower contingent coverage applies instead.
Proving which period applies requires Uber trip data, app logs, GPS pings, ride receipts, timestamps, and BHPD crash documentation. We send preservation letters early to protect this evidence before it becomes harder to obtain.
If you were hit by an Uber in Beverly Hills, the cause may trace back to a driver who was juggling app notifications, GPS directions, and unfamiliar streets all at once. Beverly Hills adds another layer: heavy foot traffic around hotels and restaurants, tight turns near Rodeo Drive and the Golden Triangle, tourist congestion along Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard, and late-night activity near the West Hollywood border and Sunset Boulevard. LAX transfer routes through the area create additional rideshare traffic at all hours, and the jurisdictional transition between Beverly Hills, Los Angeles city limits, and LAX can affect which police agency investigates and which evidence sources are available.
Each cause points to specific evidence. Trip data, vehicle condition records, surveillance footage, and crash reports can all support your liability claim and help establish driver negligence, third-party fault, or vehicle defects.

The Injury Partners represents everyone an Uber crash can injure in Beverly Hills, not only the passenger in the back seat. Who you were at the moment of the collision shapes which insurance policy applies and which parties our attorneys pursue on your behalf.
Uber crashes in Beverly Hills cause injuries that range from soft tissue strains to permanent harm, and the severity of your injury drives what your claim is worth. Many of the injuries we see send clients to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center or UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center for imaging, surgery, and months of follow-up care.
More than one party may be responsible for your Uber accident. The Uber driver, a third-party driver, Uber’s applicable TNC insurer, a vehicle manufacturer, or even a government entity may bear responsibility depending on the facts of your crash.
Legal fault and insurance coverage are related, but they are not the same thing. A party can be legally responsible for causing the crash while a completely different insurance policy pays for your injuries. Identifying both is essential to building your claim.
Potentially Liable Parties After a Beverly Hills Uber Accident:
Your claim may involve the driver and the applicable TNC insurance rather than a direct employer-liability case against Uber. Under Proposition 22, Uber drivers are classified as independent contractors in California, which can limit certain types of direct claims against Uber as a company.
That said, Uber’s insurance obligations under California Public Utilities Code § 5433 still apply regardless of driver classification. If the driver was in Period 2 or Period 3, the $1 million TNC policy may cover your injuries through the applicable insurer.
App status, trip records, driver conduct, and insurance coverage must all be reviewed before determining whether your claim is against the driver, the insurer, Uber, another party, or a combination. A Beverly Hills car accident lawyer experienced in rideshare claims can help you work through this analysis.

If you were hurt in an Uber crash, you may be able to recover compensation for both your financial losses and the personal toll of your injuries. In limited cases, punitive damages or wrongful death compensation may also be available.
A serious Uber accident affects more than your medical bills. Missed work disrupts household income. Anxiety and PTSD can change how you move through daily life. Family members take on caretaking responsibilities they did not anticipate. These real-world consequences are reflected in the non-economic damages your claim can pursue.
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule under Li v. Yellow Cab Co., 13 Cal.3d 804 (1975). If a jury assigns you 20% of the fault and your damages total $500,000, you may still recover $400,000. Partial fault can reduce your recovery, but it does not necessarily eliminate it.
There is no reliable average that applies to every Uber accident claim. Your case value depends on injury severity, the Uber period at the time of the crash, available policy limits, the strength of your medical evidence, lost income, liability disputes, comparative negligence, and whether UM/UIM coverage is available.
The Uber period matters because it determines whether you are claiming against a personal auto policy, a limited contingent policy, or the $1 million TNC commercial policy. A crash during Period 3 with you on board as a passenger involves different coverage than a crash during Period 1 when the driver was waiting for a match.

Being injured in an Uber accident raises questions that most car accident cases never do — questions about app-based insurance coverage, driver classification, and which policy applies at the exact moment of impact. You need an attorney who has worked through those layers before, not one learning rideshare liability on your case.
Our contingency fee promise is straightforward: you pay nothing until we win. No upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no financial risk to you at any stage of your case.
Time matters in an Uber accident case. California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1 gives you only two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. But the practical deadline is often much shorter — Uber’s internal app data, GPS logs, and trip records can be overwritten or become inaccessible well before that statutory window closes. The sooner you contact an attorney, the sooner we can send preservation demands to protect the evidence your case depends on.

The Injury Partners is located at 499 N. Canon Dr., Suite B1 Beverly Hills, CA 90210.
Most Uber accident claims in California settle out of court rather than going to trial. Uber’s insurers and third-party administrators generally prefer to resolve valid claims through negotiation once the evidence of app status, fault, and injury is clear.
Your case reaches trial only when the insurer disputes fault or refuses to offer fair value. Our attorneys prepare every claim as if it will be tried, which gives the insurer a reason to pay fairly before that point.
Suing over an Uber crash is more involved than a standard car accident claim because the available coverage depends on the driver’s app status and because Proposition 22 classifies Uber drivers as independent contractors. Most claims proceed against the driver and Uber’s applicable TNC insurer rather than against Uber as an employer, though Uber’s insurance obligations under Public Utilities Code § 5433 still apply.
An attorney who has worked through these layers identifies the right party and the right policy, so your claim is not stalled by aiming at the wrong target. We handle that analysis for you before the filing clock runs down.
There is no fixed value for a whiplash claim after an Uber crash, because the amount depends on the severity of your injury, your treatment, your lost income, and the Uber period at the time of the collision. A mild strain that heals in a few weeks resolves for far less than a neck injury that requires imaging, injections, or surgery.
Because a crash during Period 2 or Period 3 opens the $1 million TNC policy, the same whiplash injury can support a larger recovery than it would under a standard personal auto policy. We value your claim only after your doctors understand the full extent of your recovery.
You should not give Uber’s insurance company a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that produce answers they can later use to reduce or deny your claim.
An offhand comment about your injuries or the crash can be turned against you under California’s comparative negligence rule. Report the crash as your own policy requires, then let our attorneys handle every conversation with Uber’s insurer and its third-party administrators.
You have two years from the date of the crash to file an Uber accident lawsuit in California under Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1. The practical deadline is often much shorter, because Uber’s trip data, GPS logs, and app records can be overwritten well before that two-year window closes.
When a government entity contributed to your crash through a dangerous road condition, a separate six-month claim deadline under Government Code § 911.2 applies. Early action protects both your evidence and your filing options.
If you drive for Uber and another motorist caused your crash, you may recover through that driver’s insurance and, depending on your app status, through Uber’s uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. During Period 2 and Period 3, Uber’s policy includes $1 million in UM/UIM coverage that can apply when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little to cover your injuries.
We review your app status and both policies to find every source of compensation available to you. You carry the same right to full recovery as any other injured person on the road.
