Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are part of daily life in Landmark—convenient for commuters, visitors, and residents alike. But when a rideshare trip ends in a crash, things can get complicated fast. Whose insurance applies? What happens if the driver was off-duty? And how do you get fairly compensated for your injuries? At Malloy Law Offices, our Landmark rideshare accident lawyer helps clients untangle these complex claims and fight for the full compensation they’re owed.
Rideshare collisions aren’t like typical car crashes. Uber and Lyft drivers use their personal vehicles, but the companies provide additional insurance coverage—under specific conditions. In Virginia, the level of coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash:
App Off: Only the driver’s personal auto policy applies.
App On, Waiting for a Ride: Uber/Lyft provide limited liability coverage.
Passenger Onboard or En Route: Uber/Lyft offer up to $1 million in liability coverage.
Knowing when and how these insurance layers apply is key. We help you identify the right policies and hold the correct parties accountable.
You don’t need to be a passenger to have a valid case. We represent a wide range of rideshare accident victims in Landmark, including:

Whether you were in the vehicle or on the outside, we’ll help you understand your rights and legal options.
Landmark’s busy roads and mixed-use areas can create dangerous conditions—especially for rideshare drivers under pressure to move quickly. Common causes include:
Distracted driving (due to app use, GPS, or passenger interaction)
Unsafe stops or pick-ups in traffic lanes
Speeding to make up time between rides
Fatigue from long shifts without proper breaks
Inexperience or unfamiliarity with local roads
Poor vehicle maintenance by the driver
We dig into trip logs, phone records, and dashcam footage to uncover exactly what happened—and why.
Even at low speeds, rideshare crashes can cause serious injuries, particularly for unsuspecting passengers. We represent Landmark clients who have suffered:
Whiplash and neck injuries
Broken bones or fractures
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
Spinal injuries and herniated discs
Internal bleeding or soft tissue damage
Anxiety, PTSD, or trauma related to the crash
We coordinate with your doctors and medical specialists to document the full extent of your injury and build a case for fair compensation.
If you were hurt in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation that covers:
Emergency room care and hospitalization
Surgeries, rehab, and follow-up treatment
Lost wages and future earning capacity
Pain and suffering—physical and emotional
Mental health counseling for trauma
Vehicle repair or property replacement (if applicable)
Long-term care or disability-related expenses
