Personal Injury Law in McAllen, Texas
Injured in an Uber or Lyft Accident in McAllen? We Handle Rideshare Claims Across the RGV
Getting into a rideshare is supposed to be convenient — not dangerous. But when Uber or Lyft drivers cause accidents, it can lead to serious injuries and complicated questions. At HKC Law Firm, PLLC, we help people across McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley navigate the legal maze of rideshare accident claims. Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or another driver hit by a rideshare vehicle, our firm is here to help you recover and move forward.
Rideshare Accidents Involve a Tangle of Insurance & Responsibility
Uber and Lyft accidents are different from regular car crashes. There may be multiple insurance policies involved, unclear liability, and companies eager to shift the blame. You need an attorney who knows how to cut through the noise and get real answers.
At HKC Law, we act fast to protect your claim, identify coverage, and deal with the insurers — so you don’t have to.
Who’s Responsible in a Rideshare Crash?
Responsibility in Uber and Lyft accidents depends on what the driver was doing at the time:
- Driver had no passengers and was not logged into the app: The driver’s personal insurance applies.
- Driver was logged into the app but had no passenger: Uber/Lyft may offer limited liability coverage.
- Driver had an active ride or was picking someone up: Uber/Lyft’s $1 million commercial policy may apply.
We analyze the app data, timestamps, trip logs, and insurance policies to determine who should be held accountable for your injuries.

- Passengers injured in Uber or Lyft rides

Your Questions About Rideshare Injury Claims
If the driver was on an active trip, Uber or Lyft’s $1 million policy should apply. We’ll verify the ride status and file the claim accordingly.
We still investigate thoroughly. If another driver is at fault, we pursue compensation through their insurance — and explore any supplemental rideshare coverage available.
