Rideshare Accident Cases
Uber and Lyft claims turn on details most people never think about — starting with what the driver's app was doing at the moment of the crash. These are the rideshare accident cases we handle for people across Portland and Multnomah County.
As a passenger you're almost never at fault — but that doesn't make the claim simple. Depending on who caused the crash, it may run against your driver's rideshare coverage, the other driver's insurer, or both. We sort out which policies apply and make them pay.
Hit by someone driving for Uber or Lyft? Whether the company's coverage applies depends on the app's status at the moment of impact — logged off, waiting for a request, or on a trip. Uber and Lyft keep at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage in place once a driver accepts a trip, and far less while the driver is only logged in and waiting.
Rideshare drivers spend their shifts watching an app, hunting for pickups, and stopping where they shouldn't. When a pedestrian or cyclist pays the price, the claim can reach the rideshare coverage as well as the driver's own policy, depending on the app's status.
Drive for Uber or Lyft and got hit? You have a claim against the driver who caused it — and depending on your app status, the rideshare company's own coverage may also come into play. Your personal auto insurer may try to deny the claim because you were working; we handle that fight too.
Sudden stops for a pickup, double-parking, and doors swung open into traffic cause crashes every day. These claims often turn on the trip record — the app shows when the ride was accepted and where the driver was — and we move to preserve it before it's gone.

Why Hire Us
The other driver's insurer has adjusters and lawyers working to pay you as little as possible. Here's what changes when you have your own team.
You pay nothing up front — ever. We front every cost of building your case, and we only collect an attorney fee if we recover money for you. No recovery, no attorney fee. (Court costs and case expenses may apply and are explained clearly in your agreement before you sign.)
Since 1994 the firm has recovered $550M+ for injury victims and handled more than 20,000 cases. A few results:
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is unique, and results depend on the facts and applicable law.
Your job is to heal. Ours is everything else — every adjuster call, every deadline, the evidence, your medical records, and help coordinating your care.
Founding partner George Goldberg spent his first two years in practice defending airlines and insurance companies in injury litigation before switching sides in 1996 — so when the adjuster calls with a low offer, we already know their next three moves.
The firm's recognitions include a Martindale-Hubbell Distinguished peer rating, The National Trial Lawyers, and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum — and senior partner James Loren has tried more than 50 cases to verdict. Our office is right here in Portland, and we represent clients across Portland and all of Multnomah County.

"I could not be more pleased with the personnel, process, and results I got from working with George Goldberg and his team."
"It was my first time needing to hire an attorney, and I was really happy with the entire process. Mr. Loren worked tirelessly for me while I recovered."
"Incredibly knowledgeable, great in court, and the settlement was way more than I expected."
Your first conversation is free and confidential, and there's no obligation to hire us. Call any time, or tell us what happened in the 60-second form — either way, you'll know where you stand.
Nothing up front — ever. The consultation is free, we front every cost of building your case, and we only collect an attorney fee if we recover money for you. No recovery, no attorney fee. (Court costs and case expenses may apply and are explained clearly in your agreement before you sign.)
Not before a free case review. First offers are low by design — adjusters are trained to settle before you know what your claim is worth. Signing usually ends your claim permanently, even if your injuries get worse. Let us look first; it costs you nothing.
It depends on your medical bills, lost wages, future treatment, and what the crash has taken from your life. Insurers hope you'll guess low. A free case review gives you a realistic range before you accept anything.
In Oregon you generally have two years from the crash to file — and claims involving public vehicles can require formal notice within just 180 days. Evidence disappears far sooner: camera footage gets erased and witnesses move. The sooner we start, the stronger your case.
Most cases settle without a trial. But insurers track which firms actually try cases — and pay more to avoid facing them. With 50+ trials taken to verdict, we negotiate from strength. If they won't pay fairly, we're ready.
You may still have a strong claim. In Oregon you can recover as long as you're not more than 50% responsible — your recovery is simply reduced by your share. Don't accept the insurer's version of fault; get a free review first.
One call, 24/7. Nothing up front, nothing out of pocket, and no fee unless we win.
