Protecting Seattle Rideshare Accident Victims

Uber has become a convenient way to get around Seattle—but accidents involving rideshare drivers are on the rise. If you or a loved one were injured in an Uber accident, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Our Seattle Uber accident lawyers fight to hold negligent drivers, rideshare companies, and insurers accountable so you can focus on recovery.

Uber Accidents in Seattle: What the Numbers Show

A 2022 report from the University of Chicago and Rice University linked the rise of ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft to a 2%–3% increase in traffic fatalities nationwide (University of Chicago Study).
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), King County recorded over 9,000 injury collisions in 2023, with a growing share involving commercial or rideshare vehicles (WSDOT Annual Crash Data).
Uber’s own U.S. Safety Report revealed over 100 traffic-related fatalities during its 2019–2020 reporting period (Uber Safety Report).

These numbers highlight what Seattle residents already know: rideshare accidents happen frequently, and victims deserve strong legal representation.

Who Is Responsible After an Uber Accident?

Determining liability in a Seattle Uber accident is complex. Multiple parties may share responsibility, including:

The Uber driver, if negligent behind the wheel.
Uber’s corporate insurance policy, which may provide up to $1 million in coverage depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash.
Other at-fault drivers involved in the accident.

Our team will investigate every angle to maximize your recovery.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Medical bills and future treatment
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was lost)
