Settlement: $147,500
A woman and her two children sustained injuries after an automobile accident where they were struck by a vehicle claimed to be stolen.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What should I do immediately after a rideshare accident in Long Beach?
- First, check for injuries and call 911 if needed. Document the scene by taking photos and gathering contact information from everyone involved, including the rideshare driver. Report the accident to the Long Beach Police Department and the rideshare company. Finally, contact Murrin Law Firm for guidance on filing a claim and protecting your rights.
-
How do I know if the rideshare company’s insurance covers my accident?
- Coverage depends on the driver’s status in the rideshare app at the time of the accident. If the driver was actively transporting a passenger or enroute to pick one up, the rideshare company’s policy may apply. Our attorneys can help you determine which insurance coverage is relevant to your case.
-
Can I sue a rideshare company like Uber or Lyft directly?
- In many situations, you’ll seek compensation through the rideshare company’s insurance rather than suing the company itself. However, each case is unique. Murrin Law Firm will review your situation to see if the company has any direct liability.
-
What if the rideshare driver was off-duty when the accident happened?
- If the driver was off-duty (not logged into the app), the rideshare company’s insurance typically won’t apply. You may need to pursue compensation through the driver’s personal auto insurance. Our legal team can clarify your options and develop a strategy for recovery.
-
How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in California?
- California generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, it’s best to contact Murrin Law Firm as soon as possible so we can collect evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.
-
Does my personal auto insurance matter if I was a rideshare passenger?
- As a passenger, your personal auto insurance usually isn’t the first source of coverage. The rideshare company’s policy and the driver’s insurance typically come into play. However, in complex cases, your own policy might help if the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured.
-
What if a rideshare driver hits me while I’m walking or cycling in Long Beach?
- If the driver was on-duty (actively logged into the rideshare app), you may be covered by the rideshare company’s insurance. Murrin Law Firm can help you determine which policy applies and guide you through the claims process.
-
How does comparative negligence work in California for rideshare accidents?
- California follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you share some fault. Your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. We’ll work to minimize any blame placed on you.
-
What types of injuries are common in rideshare accidents?
- Injuries often include whiplash, broken bones, head trauma, and soft-tissue damage. Our team at Murrin Law Firm will connect you with medical experts in Long Beach to document your injuries and fight for fair compensation.
-
Should I speak to the rideshare company’s insurance adjuster on my own?
- It’s best to consult an attorney first. Insurance adjusters may use what you say to reduce or deny your claim. Murrin Law Firm can handle all communication with insurers to protect your interests.
-
How much is my rideshare accident claim worth?
- The value depends on factors like medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Murrin Law Firm conducts a thorough evaluation to seek the maximum compensation available under California law.
-
Can Murrin Law Firm help if my rideshare accident claim was denied?
- Yes. If your claim was denied or undervalued, we can review the denial letter, gather more evidence, and appeal the decision. Our goal is to secure a fair settlement or proceed to litigation if necessary.
-
Do I have to pay Murrin Law Firm upfront to handle my rideshare accident case?
- No. We typically work on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay if we win or settle your case. This ensures you can focus on recovery while we handle the legal details.
-
What if the rideshare driver fled the scene (hit-and-run)?
- Notify the Long Beach Police Department right away. Even if the driver can’t be immediately identified, you may still have coverage options through your own insurance or the rideshare company’s policy. Murrin Law Firm can guide you through these steps.
-
Why should I hire a local Long Beach rideshare accident lawyer?
- A local firm like Murrin Law Firm understands the specific traffic conditions, court systems, and insurance practices in Long Beach. Our familiarity with the community can help streamline your case and improve the chances of a successful outcome.
