Glendale, CA Uber & Lyft Car Accident Injury Lawyer: Legal Services Announced
Nov 22, 2023
Summary
Babaians Law Firm is now offering legal representation services for pedestrians who have been injured in car accidents involving rideshare vehicles such as Uber or Lyft. The firm's decision to provide support for pedestrians involved in rideshare accidents is due to statistics showing that 90% of Uber accidents occur in urban areas, which are heavily populated by pedestrians.
Pedestrians who have suffered injuries in these accidents have the right to file a personal injury claim. However, Babaians Law Firm highlights that dealing with a rideshare driver case can be more complex. According to California laws, rideshare drivers are required to display their company badges while working, but many fail to remove them when off-duty. This can lead to uncertainty for pedestrians involved in accidents with rideshare vehicles displaying Uber or Lyft badges.
Babaians Law Firm advises injured pedestrians to seek medical attention first. Later, they can schedule a case review with the firm to navigate the complexities of rideshare accidents. If the rideshare driver was actively working, both the driver and the rideshare company are liable for any personal injury claims made. However, if the driver was not logged into the app or registered to accept rides, the responsibility solely rests on the driver. Injured pedestrians can still file lawsuits to cover their recovery costs as Los Angeles requires rideshare drivers to carry commercial insurance.
Babaians Law Firm, with locations in Glendale and Long Beach, California, has significant experience in advising clients involved in incidents with rideshare vehicles in the greater LA area. For more information or to schedule an initial consultation, interested parties can call 818-747-9113 or visit the firm's website.
Babaians Law Firm (818-747-9113) has updated its legal representation services for pedestrians injured in a car accident involving a vehicle operating for a rideshare service, such as Uber or Lyft.
Glendale, United States - November 22, 2023 /PressCable/ —
The Glendale law firm’s recently announced legal support for pedestrians involved in car accidents with rideshare vehicles comes in response to statistics showing that 90% of Uber accidents occur in urban areas. As these areas are frequented by pedestrians, it follows that third-party injuries form the majority of claims for rideshare accidents.

Pedestrians who are injured have the legal right to file a personal injury claim, however, Babaians advises that this can be more complicated when considering a case with a rideshare driver. With the announcement, the firm encourages pedestrians who have been injured by rideshare vehicles to schedule a case review.
California laws require rideshare drivers to clearly display their company badges on their vehicles when working, however, the majority of drivers fail to remove them when “off the clock”. This can create uncertainty for third parties, including pedestrians, who are involved in an accident with a car displaying an Uber or Lyft badge.
“When you are injured, your priority should always be to seek medical attention and you might not be able to get all the relevant driver information,” says a lawyer for Babaians. “If you or a witness later states it was an Uber or Lyft driver who hit you, the police and your legal team are immediately going to ask whether they were on duty. But how can you know for sure? The rideshare company will launch their own investigation, but having a lawyer who has experience in this area can help ensure you don’t miss out on the compensation you are entitled to.”
If the driver was actively working, Babaians explains, then the rideshare company is also liable for any personal injury claim. Both Uber and Lyft have a financial reserve to compensate third parties for injuries caused by their driver’s negligence.
Conversely, when a rideshare badge is displayed but the driver was not logged into the app or registered to accept rides, the responsibility for any injuries caused rests solely on the driver. Los Angeles requires all drivers operating in the city to carry commercial insurance, Babaians states, therefore, injured pedestrians can still sue to cover the costs of their recovery.
