Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are everywhere in Marietta, especially around Marietta Square, Cobb Parkway, and local event venues. But when a rideshare trip ends in a crash, injured passengers and other victims often struggle to figure out who’s responsible, and how to get the compensation they need.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent rideshare passengers, pedestrians, and drivers injured in Uber and Lyft accidents throughout Marietta and Cobb County. We understand how complicated these cases can be, and we’re here to take the stress off your shoulders while we fight for your full financial recovery.
Who Can File a Rideshare Accident Claim?
You may have a rideshare injury claim if:
- You were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft that crashed
- You were a pedestrian or cyclist hit by a rideshare driver
- You were driving another vehicle and were struck by a rideshare car
- You were a rideshare driver injured due to someone else’s negligence
We investigate the driver’s status in the app (offline, waiting, en route, or with a passenger) to determine which insurance policies apply.
Understanding Uber and Lyft Insurance Coverage
Uber and Lyft provide tiered coverage depending on the driver’s activity:
- App off: Only the driver’s personal insurance applies
- App on, waiting for a ride: Limited liability coverage
- Ride accepted or in progress: Up to $1 million in liability coverage
We work quickly to determine which policy applies and file claims against all available sources of insurance.
Common Rideshare Accident Injuries
Because many rideshare crashes happen in busy, congested areas or at high speeds, victims often suffer serious injuries. We represent clients with:
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Soft tissue and joint damage
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Psychological trauma, anxiety, or PTSD
- Fatal injuries requiring a wrongful death claim
We coordinate with your doctors to fully understand the scope of your recovery needs.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were hurt in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and future treatment costs
- Lost wages and diminished earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental health support
- Property damage
- Funeral costs for fatal crashes
We fight for full compensation not quick settlements that don’t reflect your true losses.

Don’t Wait Georgia’s Statute of Limitations Is Two Years
In Georgia, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, waiting too long can hurt your case. Rideshare claims often involve time-sensitive evidence, like app data and driver logs, so early legal action is key.
