Hurt as a passenger, driver, or other motorist in a rideshare crash? Mayfield Chiropractic evaluates your injuries, builds a clear medical record, and coordinates with your attorney — so nothing falls through the cracks between competing insurance policies.
Uber and Lyft accidents aren't like ordinary car crashes. Coverage depends on whether the driver's app was on, whether a ride was in progress, and which policies — the driver's personal insurer, the rideshare company's commercial policy, or your own uninsured-motorist coverage — apply at the moment of impact. Insurers know these rules and use them to minimize payouts. What cuts through the dispute is a timely, thorough medical record. Dr. Gregory Mayfield is a former police officer and seasoned expert witness in motor-vehicle-accident cases; he documents exactly what attorneys and adjusters need to see.
Sudden stops and side-impact collisions snap the neck forward and back — often with pain that surfaces a day or two later.
Rear-end and T-bone impacts compress the lumbar spine. We assess disc involvement early to guide the right care path.
Non-surgical decompression therapy relieves nerve pressure and disc-related pain without medication or surgery.
Post-collision headaches and shoulder tension commonly trace back to cervical and upper-thoracic misalignment.
Yes, and sooner is better. Rideshare crashes produce the same whiplash, neck, and back injuries as any other collision, and symptoms often appear hours or days after the event. An early chiropractic evaluation creates a medical record linking your pain to the crash — which matters greatly if a claim or lawsuit follows. Dr. Mayfield offers same-day appointments.

It depends on what the driver was doing at the time. If the app was off, only the driver's personal auto insurance applies. If the app was on but no ride was accepted, the rideshare company provides limited contingency coverage. If a ride was actively in progress, Uber and Lyft each carry at least $1 million in commercial liability coverage. Because coverage tiers are often disputed, working with an attorney early helps ensure the right policy — and the right amount — applies to your injuries.
Passengers in a rideshare vehicle are almost never considered at fault in a crash. If your ride was active, the rideshare company's commercial policy and/or the at-fault driver's liability coverage should apply to your injuries. Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may also fill gaps. Prompt documentation of your injuries — which Dr. Mayfield provides — strengthens any claim you or your attorney pursues.
