Louisville Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyers
Over $100 Million Recovered for Our Clients. No Fees Until You Get Paid.
The "Bourbon Boom" Has a Dangerous Side Effect.
Louisville is a destination city. With the explosion of "Bourbonism" on Main Street, the crowds at Churchill Downs, and the constant stream of visitors landing at Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), Uber and Lyft are the lifeblood of our local transportation.
But this convenience comes at a cost. Rideshare drivers in Louisville are often overworked, driving unfamiliar rented cars, and staring at their GPS apps instead of the road. They stop abruptly in traffic on Broadway to pick up fares, make illegal U-turns in the Highlands, and speed to the airport to catch the next surge pricing.
At Freeman Childers, we know how to fight the Silicon Valley giants. When you are injured in a rideshare—whether as a passenger, a pedestrian, or another driver—you aren't just fighting a bad driver. You are fighting a billion-dollar tech company that wants to deny your claim.
The "Million Dollar Mile"
The most critical factor in your case is status. Uber and Lyft provide a $1 Million Liability Policy, but it only applies during specific moments:
Period 1 (App Off): The company pays nothing. You must sue the driver personally.
Period 2 (Waiting for Ride): Limited coverage.
Period 3 (Passenger in Car): Full $1 Million Coverage. We fight to prove the driver was "engaged" with the app to trigger the maximum corporate insurance policy for your injuries.
High-Risk Zones in Louisville
We investigate rideshare crashes in the city's most chaotic pickup/drop-off zones:
SDF Airport: The chaotic merge from the terminal onto I-264 is a frequent site for high-speed rear-end collisions.
Downtown / Whiskey Row: Drivers stopping illegally in the middle of Main Street to load passengers, causing chain-reaction crashes.
Churchill Downs: During Derby season or major events, the traffic around Central Avenue is a gridlock of confused rideshare drivers.
Bardstown Road: Late-night pickups near bars often involve intoxicated passengers distracting the driver or drivers making dangerous U-turns.
We Protect Passengers & Pedestrians
The "Backseat Victim": If you were a passenger in the Uber/Lyft, you are 0% at fault. You deserve full compensation for your medical bills and lost wages.
Pedestrians: Rideshare drivers are constantly scanning for passengers on the sidewalk, not looking at the crosswalk. We represent pedestrians struck near 4th Street Live! or NuLu.
