Traffic accidents leave scars, which can include physical injuries, psychological trauma, and financial hardship. When the accident involves one or more rideshare vehicles, survivors can have a difficult time securing fair compensation. The added complications of rideshare companies and complex insurance policies are among the challenges you may face. Let a Kingman rideshare accident lawyer take your case off your hands. Call Big Chad Law today at (928) 753-1830 for a free consultation. Our firm’s commitment to Arizonans and our office in Kingman are two of the many reasons you should let us lead your case.
Why It Makes Sense to Hire a Rideshare Accident Attorney
As attorneys, we know there are many circumstances in which it makes sense to hire a lawyer. Victims of rideshare accidents may have more reason than most to retain an attorney. We say this because:
Rideshare Companies’ Insurance Can Complicate Matters
Depending on your role in the accident, you may deserve compensation through a rideshare company’s insurance provider. This may include the policies Uber and Lyft extend to their contractors.
While these insurance policies may be a means for you to get compensation, you must know that:
- These policies are conditional (which means the amount of coverage you are entitled to can vary based on what the driver was doing at the time of the accident)
- You will need to determine if you are entitled to compensation through these policies (rideshare drivers and other motorists must have personal policies, so it can be difficult to determine which policies to act on)
- Just because rideshare companies have high-value insurance policies does not mean insurance companies will voluntarily pay the money you deserve
Our Kingman rideshare accident lawyers are familiar with auto insurance, and specifically, the type of insurance rideshare companies often extend to drivers. Allow the Big Chad Law team to evaluate your options and seek compensation from insurers who owe you.
We May Need to Obtain Evidence from Parties Who Don’t Want to Share It
The right piece of evidence can tip the scales in your favor. This is why our attorneys gather all available evidence, including evidence that originates with liable parties.
For instance, we may obtain:
- Video from the rideshare driver’s dashboard camera, as many drivers have these mounted cameras in their vehicles
- Records from rideshare companies, which may indicate an at-fault driver has a history of reckless behavior (or expose other types of negligence related to your accident)
- Data from a vehicle’s on-board event recorder, known as a black box
We can file a letter demanding any parties who possess evidence preserve (and ultimately turn over) that evidence to us.
You May Deserve Money from Parties Who Don’t Want to Provide It
You might deserve compensation from insurers. A rideshare driver or other party who caused your accident may also be liable should we decide to sue. Whoever is responsible for the cost of your damages, those parties may not want to pay.
Whenever liable parties act in bad faith, it makes the victim’s road to justice more difficult. Our firm has dealt with many stubborn defendants and insurers, so we are never discouraged or daunted when we encounter them in rideshare accident cases.
Bad-Faith Tactics Are Often Part of Rideshare Accident Cases
Insurance companies often know they are responsible for claimants’ losses. That does not mean they own their financial responsibility.
It will be no surprise if one or more liable insurance companies fight your claim by:
- Claiming you caused the accident (and possibly denying your claim)
- Deceiving you into making statements that harm your claim
- Intentionally undervaluing the value of your losses
- Presenting a lowball settlement and using several tactics to persuade you to accept
It may not make a difference that Arizona law forbids unfair claim settlement practices. Insurance companies often toe the ethical line when handling claims. We will not be shocked if insurers cross the line by employing bad-faith tactics.
Your Time Is Limited—Keep Your Focus on Your Health
If you are considering hiring Big Chad Law, we assume it’s because you suffered an injury. Perhaps you have lost a loved one, for which our team offers its condolences.
Whatever your reason for hiring our firm, we expect that you:
- Need significant rest, which is often an essential feature of recovery plans
- May need mental health treatment (auto accidents are associated with post-traumatic stress disorder)
- May have many other instructions to follow from your doctors, and your recovery regimen will be time- and energy-consuming
The only way to care for yourself psychologically, emotionally, and physically is to make the time for recovery. When you allow a Kingman rideshare accident attorney to handle your case, you may find the time you need for healing.

We will document your damages in as great of detail as possible.
Demand a Fair Settlement (from Insurers or Other Liable Parties)
