Experienced Rideshare Accident Attorneys Providing Advocacy In Mobile And South Alabama

Last updated on February 25, 2026

Services like Uber and Lyft have become a staple for transportation across Mobile and South Alabama. While these platforms offer convenience, they also introduce unique legal hurdles when a collision occurs.

At The Mims Firm, P.C., we believe that every victim deserves a clear path to recovery. If you were involved in a crash, a rideshare accident attorney from our firm can help you hold the right parties accountable.

Who Is Liable In A Rideshare Accident?

Determining who must pay for your medical bills and lost wages depends on the specific facts of your case. Potential liable parties include:

• The rideshare driver: This applies if the driver was speeding, distracted or otherwise negligent while the app was active.
• The other driver: Another motorist may be at fault if they struck the rideshare vehicle.
• The rideshare company: In specific cases, the corporation itself may be liable for negligent hiring practices or failing to remove dangerous drivers from the platform.

Identifying the correct insurance policy is the first step toward a successful resolution.

Seeking Compensation For Passenger Injuries

As a passenger, you are almost never at fault for a collision. This is a critical distinction in Alabama, where the contributory negligence rule can bar recovery if you are even 1% responsible.

Because you are a paying customer, the Alabama Guest Statute does not apply to you. You deserve a safe ride. When a driver or company breaks that trust, you have a clear right to seek damages for medical bills, lost wages and emotional turmoil.

Our firm focuses on the paperwork and communication so you can focus on your health.

Advocacy For Injured Drivers

Drivers often face a difficult landscape because their insurance coverage changes based on their app status. We understand the risks you take to earn a living and are here to help you manage the following issues:

• Insurance tiers: Your coverage depends on whether you were waiting for a request or had a passenger in the car.
• Employment status disputes: Companies often try to distance themselves from drivers by labeling them independent contractors.
• Fault determination: We work to prove the other driver was at fault to protect you from Alabama’s contributory negligence defense.

We stand by drivers, helping them receive every dollar of the coverage they deserve.
