Rideshare moves people all over Mississippi, from the casinos and nightlife of the Gulf Coast to Jackson, the college towns, and the north Mississippi suburbs of Memphis. 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.
Mississippi's three-year deadline in a rideshare case
Mississippi gives you three years from the date of the collision to file a lawsuit under Miss. Code § 15-1-49, a longer window than Georgia or Tennessee allow. That does not mean waiting is wise, 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.
Why partial fault does not end your Mississippi claim
Mississippi follows pure comparative negligence under Miss. Code § 11-7-15. There is no threshold that wipes out your claim. Even if you are found partly at fault, you can still recover, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault. In a rideshare crash the fault may involve the rideshare driver, another motorist, or both, and passengers are almost never at fault. The most seriously injured are treated at Mississippi's designated trauma centers, including the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, the state's only Level I trauma center.
Serving rideshare passengers across Mississippi
Howe.Law represents injured clients throughout Mississippi, with offices in Jackson, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, and Biloxi. 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, and a wreck on an interstate to the Mississippi Highway 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 Circuit Court.

Common questions
The insurer says I was partly to blame for the rideshare crash. Can I still recover in Mississippi?
Yes. Mississippi's pure comparative negligence rule lets you recover even if you share some of the fault, with your award reduced by your percentage. That is a reason to fight over the numbers, not a reason to walk away.
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.
