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

protecting your interests. That’s our job.

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.
