Alto Accidents

Injured in an Alto rideshare accident in Houston? You don’t have to take on the company alone.

Houston Alto accident attorney Hogan Leatherwood

Alto is different from Uber and Lyft—it hires employee drivers, operates branded vehicles, and promises a safer experience. But that doesn’t mean accidents don’t happen. If you were injured while riding with Alto or struck by one of their vehicles, Leatherwood Law is here to help.

Based in Houston, we represent victims of Alto crashes—whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or another driver. We understand the unique legal structure Alto uses and how to pursue compensation under their insurance coverage and commercial policies.

Don’t assume that Alto’s status as a luxury service means they’ll do the right thing. We’ll investigate your accident, determine fault, and fight to recover the damages you’re owed.

Rideshare companies are focused on limiting liability—not protecting your interests. That’s our job.

Types of Alto Accident Cases We Handle

  • Passengers injured while riding in an Alto
  • Pedestrians or cyclists struck by an Alto vehicle
  • Other drivers hit by Alto employees
  • Alto accidents involving distracted or reckless driving
  • Company vehicle defects or poor maintenance
  • Fatal Alto accidents (wrongful death)

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If you were hurt in an Alto crash caused by driver or company negligence, you may be entitled to:

  • Emergency medical expenses and hospital bills
  • Ongoing rehab and therapy costs
  • Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Vehicle damage or total loss (if applicable)
  • Long-term or permanent disability compensation

Why Choose Leatherwood Law for an Alto Crash?

  • We understand Alto’s model: Alto employs its drivers—this changes the liability dynamics compared to Uber and Lyft.
  • We know Houston roads and rideshare risks: From River Oaks to Midtown and beyond, we’ve helped clients hit by rideshare vehicles.
  • No fee unless we win: We work on a contingency basis, so you owe us nothing upfront.
  • Personalized guidance: We help you navigate every step of your recovery and claim.

What to Do After an Alto Rideshare Accident

  1. Call 911 and report the crash – Whether you were a passenger or pedestrian, make sure a police report is filed.
  2. Get medical attention – Even if injuries seem minor, have them documented by a professional.
  3. Take photos and gather details – Document the Alto vehicle, driver, and any witnesses.
  4. Contact Leatherwood Law – Before you speak with Alto or their insurance carrier.

Alto Accident FAQs

How are Alto accidents different from Uber or Lyft accidents in Houston?

Alto describes its model as employee drivers operating a company fleet rather than independent contractors using personal vehicles. That structure can make company responsibility more direct depending on the facts.

Can Alto be held directly liable for a crash in Texas?

Yes, an employer can be liable for an employee’s negligent driving in the course of work. The key issue is whether the driver was acting within job duties at the time of the collision.

What should I do after being injured in an Alto vehicle in Houston?

Get medical care and call 911 first. Then document the scene, collect witness contacts, and preserve trip details to lock in the correct insurance and liability facts.

What insurance coverage may apply in an Alto accident?

Coverage depends on fault and the operational status of the ride at the time of the crash. Claims commonly involve commercial auto coverage and any applicable third-party policies.

How long do I have to file an Alto accident claim in Texas?

Most Texas injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash date. Early investigation matters because business records and video can be overwritten.
