Palm Springs Uber & Lyft Accident Attorney

Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. - Advocating for Your Interests

We live in a time where computer technology touches almost every facet of society and life. With the advent of ride-sharing apps, companies like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized the transportation industry, shaking up the market for taxi and limousine services. However, where traditional transportation service businesses are subject to stricter regulations for licensing and safety duties, companies like Uber and Lyft have a unique legal status as an intermediary that coordinates passengers with drivers who use their personal vehicles to work as independent contractors. As a result, legal issues regarding accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers can be difficult to navigate.

If you’ve been injured in an accident involving a driver working with a transportation service company like Uber and Lyft, call the offices of Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. to consult with one of our experienced Uber & Lyft accident attorneys in Palm Springs. We have over 40 years of litigation experience in matters such as car accidents, including those involving Uber or Lyft drivers. Our legal team is available to you – even on evenings and weekends.

To learn more about how Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. can help you, call us at (760) 530-4868 or contact us online today.

Qualified Legal Representation Against Transportation Network Companies

Under California law, companies such as Uber and Lyft are legally classified as “transportation network companies” or TNCs. This is a relatively new classification specifically created for the purpose of regulating this industry. Regulations for TNCs govern the provision of insurance for drivers, accommodations for people with disabilities, and prohibition of intoxicating substances for drivers.

We have experience with a variety of issues involving TNCs, including:

Third-party Liability Insurance Claims
Insurance Coverage for Passengers
Distracted Driving Claims
Pedestrian Injuries
Multi-party Litigation

Uber and Lyft accidents can be relatively complicated when compared to other car accident claims. One accident can involve several parties, who may or may not have been injured. Such parties include drivers (whether working with a TNC or not), passengers, TNCs, TNC insurance providers, and private insurance providers for individual parties.

Recent Reviews & Testimonials

Cohn & Swartzon helped me to receive greatly needed medical care.
“I was recently hurt in a really bad car accident. I did not have health insurance but Cohn & Swartzon helped me to receive greatly needed medical care. They also helped me get a replacement car quickly so that my wife could continue to drive to work while I was at home, getting better. I could not have done it alone, and I am very grateful to them.”

Jackob S.
He was always available and always returned my phone calls.
“It is my pleasure to recommend the law firm of Cohn & Swartzon. I was recommended to Jason through an attorney friend of mine who suggested that I see him because of the sensitivity of my case. I met with him and instantly saw the compassion and professionalism that was instilled in him. He took on my case which was an emotional and difficult one. He handled us with care, step by step, and I watched him fight hard in court and win. He was always available and always returned my phone calls. He was always straightforward and kept us in the loop. He was very informative. I will never forget what he did for our family. Two years later, I had another emergency occur in our family and he returned my call that evening and again took care of everything. I have recommended Cohn & Swartzon to family and friends and will continue to do so. They were there for my family when I needed them and the professionalism and expertise says it all.”

After Cohn & Swartzon fought hard for me in court, I received over a 6 figure settlement and also had my surgery paid for.
“When I first met with Cohn & Swartzon, they explained to me that I had a difficult case; but because of my severe injuries, they were willing to help. Initially, the insurance did not offer much; but after Cohn & Swartzon fought hard for me in court, I received over a 6 figure settlement and also had my surgery paid for.”

Deborah V.
They were completely honest, and offered great advice.
“I highly recommend Cohn & Swartzon. When I decided to retain the Firm, I initially spoke with Attorney Jason D. Cohn. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining what sort of personal injury case to expect. With the assistance of Attorney Saar Swartzon, Cohn & Swartzon were able to get me a $28,000 settlement. I was very pleased with the Firm's persistence and hard work. The attorneys always kept me informed about how my case was going, they were completely honest, and offered great advice. They listened to my concerns and needs, and always made me feel like I was a high priority client. Everyone at the Firm is very friendly and caring, both as one's legal representation, and simply as individuals. Thanks again!”
