Recent Google Review:
“The Law Offices of Robin D. Perry represented me after my husband was killed by a big rig truck on the freeway near Blythe, California. I felt like Robin understood what I was going through and cared about me. Robin & his team traveled to the scene capturing important photos and videos. He immediately filed a lawsuit and got a trial in 120 days. After the judge set a trial date, the case quickly settled. No amount of money can bring my husband back. But Robin & his team helped me make the best of a horrible situation. Given the circumstances, I am very happy with my settlement. I highly recommend him to anyone who suffers a tragedy caused when another person or company breaks the law. Thank you again.”

Why Rideshare Crashes Are Different
Uber/Lyft cases turn on driver status at the time of the collision:
- Driver on a trip (accepted ride or passenger onboard)
- App-based commercial coverage up to $1,000,000 (liability; often UM/UIM applies).
- May supplement or replace the driver’s personal policy.
- Driver online, waiting for a request
- Lower contingent limits (commonly up to $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident for injury and $25,000 property damage).
- Driver’s personal policy may still be primary depending on facts.
- Driver offline
- Only the driver’s personal auto policy applies.
Multiple parties may share fault, driver, other motorists, the rideshare company (via its policy), or even third parties responsible for dangerous road conditions.
