Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer in Boston

Nearly 10,000 Cases Handled. Multilingual Representation for Boston Rideshare Accident Victims.

A crash involving an Uber or Lyft isn’t a standard car accident claim. It involves layered insurance policies, independent contractor disputes, and questions about the driver’s app status at the moment of impact. These complications don’t resolve themselves, and the platforms’ insurers move quickly to protect their interests after a crash. Avalon Law Offices, P.C. has been handling Massachusetts personal injury cases for over 20 years, with founding attorney Danilo Avalon bringing more than 30 years of legal experience to every matter. We know how to build these claims, and we’re prepared to go to trial when insurers refuse a fair result.

We’ve handled nearly 10,000 cases and recovered close to $100 million for injured clients across Massachusetts. Our multilingual team serves clients in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Cape Verdean Creole, French, and Portuguese, with a full language line for additional languages. In a rideshare market as active as Greater Boston, injured passengers deserve representation that can actually communicate with them.

Who We Represent After a Boston Rideshare Accident

Rideshare crashes can injure people in very different positions, and each may have a claim against different parties and different insurance policies. We handle personal injury claims for:

• Passengers injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft
• Pedestrians and cyclists struck by a rideshare vehicle
• Drivers whose vehicles were hit by an Uber or Lyft driver

Potentially liable parties can include the rideshare driver, Uber or Lyft itself on negligent hiring grounds, third-party drivers, and in some situations vehicle manufacturers. Identifying every party with potential liability is one of the first things we do. We handle hundreds of personal injury cases each year across Massachusetts and take rideshare cases on a contingency fee basis: you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Compensation Available to Boston Rideshare Accident Victims

Massachusetts personal injury law allows injured rideshare victims to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, future treatment costs, and out-of-pocket expenses tied to the injury. Massachusetts no-fault personal injury protection (PIP) covers the first $8,000 in medical costs and 75% of lost wages regardless of fault. After PIP is exhausted, the liability claim against the rideshare insurer moves forward.

Under Massachusetts’s modified comparative negligence rule (MGL c.231 §85), a plaintiff found 51% or more at fault recovers nothing. Below that threshold, recovery is reduced by the plaintiff’s share of fault. How fault is characterized in the early stages of a claim is genuinely consequential, and we work to establish the record accurately and early.
