Do you need a lawyer for a rideshare accident in California?

Some people hire a lawyer, others don't need to. Here's a quick, no-pressure guide to help you decide.

When it's usually worth talking to a lawyer

  • Your injury needs ongoing treatment, surgery, or left you with a lasting disability
  • The insurance company denied, delayed, or lowballed your claim, or fault is disputed
  • The other driver was uninsured, or multiple parties are involved (several vehicles, an employer, a company)

When many people handle it without a lawyer

  • The injury was minor and you've already fully recovered
  • Fault is clear and the insurance company has been cooperative and reasonable
  • You just need help finding medical care, not negotiating a settlement
Timing matters

Most California personal injury lawyers offer a free consultation and only get paid if you win, so talking to one costs nothing. You generally have 2 years from the accident to file a claim (sometimes just 6 months against a government agency), so don't wait too long to find out.
