Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer in DC, Maryland, and Virginia

How We Help in Rideshare Accident Cases

When a rideshare trip ends in a crash, things get complicated fast. At Wingfield, Ginsburg & Lipp P.C., we help passengers, drivers, and third parties involved in Uber or Lyft accidents navigate the legal maze—and secure the compensation they deserve across the DMV.



Whether your accident happened while riding in a Lyft through Logan Circle or driving near an Uber in Hyattsville, we know how to pursue claims against large rideshare companies and their insurance providers.

Navigating Rideshare Insurance and Liability

We support victims with:

• Determining whether the app was active and which insurance applies

• Investigating driver conduct and phone usage

• Filing claims with both rideshare and personal insurance carriers

• Pursuing damages for medical bills, lost wages, and trauma



From Fairfax to Laurel, we help untangle liability so clients can focus on healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who pays for my injuries after an Uber or Lyft crash?

    It depends on the driver’s app status. We help sort out claims whether you were hurt in College Park, Alexandria, or elsewhere.

  • Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?

    Not usually, but you can sue their driver or make a claim under their insurance. We’ve helped clients in Springfield and Georgetown do just that.

  • What if I was hit by a rideshare vehicle?

    You still have rights. Whether it happened in Rockville or Vienna, we’ll help you file the appropriate claims.

  • What if I was the rideshare driver?

    You may still qualify for coverage. We’ve worked with drivers in Silver Spring, McLean, and beyond.

  • How do I start a claim?

    Contact us immediately—we’ll walk you through it from Reston to Adams Morgan and anywhere in between.
