Did You Know Rideshare Accidents Involve More Complex Insurance Rules Than Standard Car Crashes?
An Uber or Lyft Accident Can Disrupt Your Entire Life. Let a Trusted Personal Injury Lawyer Protect Your Rights and Guide You Through the Process.
When you’re injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle — whether as a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian — the insurance process quickly becomes complicated. Multiple policies may apply, coverage shifts based on the driver’s app status, and rideshare insurers often attempt to minimize their responsibility. At The Law Offices of AJ Kotanjian, we represent rideshare accident victims in Whittier, across Southern California, and throughout Western Arizona, offering clear guidance, steady communication, and strategic advocacy from day one.

I highly recommend hiring AJ Kotanjian and his office. While he was a straight up cool guy from the start, I could not be more impressed with the professionalism.

I appreciated the lightning fast responses, highly effective communicating, constant updates, and especially Mr. Kotanjian’s stern posture when demanding compensation from the other party’s insurance company. 10/10 for a completely stress free experience and incredibly smooth process til the very end.

AJ Kotanjian did an incredible job handling my case. At the beginning of the process AJ clearly articulated how we would approach the case, what information he needed from me, timelines, and everything relevant to pushing for a successful outcome. He was an absolute professional and we were able to win the insurance claim from my cycling/car accident in less than 3 months which I was very surprised at given how long some of these trials/cases can go. I feel extremely fortunate to have hired him soon after I was injured, and was able to focus on healing and getting back to my life while he took care of everything else. Thank you AJ for your hard work and helping me get back on my feet!

Thanks AJ!
