Rideshare is everywhere in Georgia, from the airport runs and nightlife of metro Atlanta to the tourist traffic of Savannah and the college towns in between. Uber and Lyft vehicles cover the state day and night, and when one is in a crash, an injured passenger faces a claim that is different from an ordinary wreck. The first question is which insurance policy applies. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we answer it, statewide.
The two-year deadline in a Georgia rideshare case
Georgia gives you two years from the date of the collision to file a lawsuit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. That clock matters early, because the most important proof in a rideshare case is digital and controlled by the rideshare company. The driver's app status, GPS data, and trip records sit on Uber's or Lyft's servers, and obtaining them takes formal legal demands. We start that process quickly so the record of what the driver was doing is preserved.
Which insurance policy actually pays
The coverage available after a rideshare crash turns on what the driver's app was doing at the moment of impact. If the app was off, only the driver's personal policy applies. Once the app is on and the driver is waiting for a request, a limited contingent policy applies, and from the moment a ride is accepted until the passenger is dropped off, a much larger commercial policy is in force. Uber and Lyft do not volunteer which one applies. We obtain the driver's dispatch logs and app timestamps to establish the driver's status and unlock the correct coverage.
How Georgia's fifty percent rule affects your recovery
Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, you recover nothing if you are found fifty percent or more at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your share below that line. In a rideshare crash the fault may involve the rideshare driver, another motorist, or both, and each insurer tries to shift blame onto someone else. Passengers are almost never at fault, which gives an injured passenger a strong claim. The most seriously injured are treated at Georgia's Level I trauma centers, including Grady Memorial in Atlanta, Memorial Health in Savannah, Atrium Health Navicent in Macon, and Wellstar Kennestone near Marietta.
Serving rideshare passengers across Georgia
Howe.Law represents injured clients throughout Georgia, with offices in and around Atlanta, Alpharetta, Marietta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, Warner Robins, and Valdosta. Wherever in the state your rideshare crash happened, we serve you.
Reporting and filing your rideshare claim
A rideshare crash inside a city is reported to that city's police department, one in an unincorporated area to the county sheriff or county police, and a wreck on an interstate to the Georgia State Patrol. We obtain the correct report along with your medical records and file your claim in the county where the crash occurred, in that county's State or Superior Court.

Common questions
The rideshare driver asked me not to call the police after the crash. What should I do?
Call the police anyway. A formal crash report is what documents the wreck and triggers the correct insurance coverage. Declining that report can leave you with no official record when you need one.
How do you prove what the driver's app was doing when the crash happened?
We issue formal demands to the rideshare company for the trip and app-status data tied to the exact time of the crash. That record shows whether the driver was offline, waiting for a request, or on an active trip, which determines the coverage available to you.
I was a passenger and do not know whose fault it was. Does that hurt my claim?
No. A rideshare passenger is almost never at fault, and you do not need to know who caused the crash to have a strong claim. We investigate the fault of every driver involved and pursue the coverage that applies.

We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.
