Protecting Las Vegas Rideshare Passengers

Every day, thousands of people rely on Uber to get around Las Vegas: from visitors heading to the Strip to locals commuting across town. But when an Uber driver causes a crash, passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians can face devastating injuries.

At Cogburn Davidson, our Las Vegas Uber accident attorneys help victims hold negligent rideshare drivers and corporations accountable. With over 40 years of combined experience and hundreds of millions recovered for our clients, we know how to navigate complex rideshare claims and win meaningful results for injured Nevadans.

Understanding Uber Accidents in Las Vegas

Uber accidents are unique because they involve multiple parties and layered insurance coverage. Unlike a typical car accident, victims may need to file claims through both the Uber driver’s personal insurance and Uber’s corporate policy.

Our attorneys handle the details so you can focus on recovery. We investigate liability, determine which policy applies, and ensure that no insurer minimizes or denies your claim.

Common Causes of Uber Accidents Include

  • Distracted driving (texting, navigation use, or ride requests)
  • Speeding to meet pickup deadlines
  • Drowsy or fatigued driving after long shifts
  • Failing to yield in busy intersections
  • Drunk or impaired driving
  • Unsafe lane changes or tailgating
  • Poor vehicle maintenance

Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian struck by an Uber, our Las Vegas rideshare accident lawyers will fight to recover every dollar you deserve.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Las Vegas Uber Accident?

Depending on the circumstances, several parties may share responsibility for your accident, including:

  • The Uber driver who acted negligently
  • Another at-fault motorist
  • A vehicle manufacturer (in cases of defective parts)
  • Uber, if corporate negligence or unsafe hiring practices are involved

Under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover compensation if you were partly at fault, as long as you are less than 51% responsible. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our team works to minimize your share of liability and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Understanding Uber’s Insurance Coverage in Nevada

One of the most confusing aspects of Uber-related claims is determining which insurance policy applies at the time of the crash. Uber provides coverage based on the driver’s status in the app:

  • App Off / Not Logged In: The driver’s personal insurance applies. Uber provides no coverage.
  • App On / Waiting for Ride Request: Uber offers limited coverage, up to $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage, if the driver’s policy doesn’t apply.
  • En Route to Pickup or Transporting a Passenger: Uber’s $1 million policy for third-party liability and uninsured/underinsured coverage is active.

Navigating these insurance layers can be complex, but Cogburn Davidson has extensive experience handling rideshare cases across Nevada. We know h

If you haven’t reached out yet to Cogburn Davison I highly recommend you do! I can’t even begin to explain what great customer service I received from when first walking in the door and having the receptionist be so nice and friendly up until my case settled! The attorney Hunter S. Davidson and his paralegal Jessica Mejia were not only friendly and compassionate but they made sure me and my family understood every step of this lawsuit! My father was neglected in a nursing home and I couldn’t find an attorney in Vegas who specialized in these type of cases. Once my friend recommended me to Cogburn Davidson and I saw their exceptional customer service I knew I was in the right place. They were able to get my father and our family the justice he deserved! Don’t hesitate and call Cogburn Davidson, you won’t regret it!
