We Take on the Responsible Parties in an Uber or Lyft Accident

Debates abound over whether rideshare services are safer or less safe than taxis, and there is no clear answer. The two major players in the industry, Uber and Lyft, claim to conduct background and driving history checks on all drivers. But these precautions do not always prevent injuries to riders.

When an Uber or Lyft rideshare accident involves injuries, several parties may be responsible. Once you add insurance companies to the mix, sorting out the damages from a rideshare accident can be a difficult task.

Fortunately, we understand the process, having helped many clients secure damages from Uber and Lyft accidents.

When You May Be Entitled to Compensation for a Rideshare Accident

If a driver causes an accident, that driver is liable for your injuries. However, this can get more complex when that driver works for a rideshare service. Who pays for your injury costs depends on what the driver was doing at the time. Take the following examples:

• A rideshare driver is not “on the app” (i.e., they are driving on their own time, the rideshare app is off and they are not looking to be matched with a passenger) when they cause an accident: If this is the case, the driver’s personal insurance will cover your injuries.
• A rideshare driver is “on the app” waiting to be matched with a rider when they cause an accident: The rideshare company’s contingent coverage will pay for your injuries if the driver’s personal coverage refuses to pay.
• A rideshare driver has matched with a rider and is driving to meet the rider/has a rider in the car when they cause the accident: The rideshare company’s $1 million liability policy will cover your injuries.
• Another driver caused the accident: If you are a passenger in the rideshare vehicle (or a passenger or driver of another vehicle) and another driver caused the accident, you can handle it like a typical car accident claim.

Our team sorts out the insurance situation from your accident by conducting a full investigation and figuring out who is responsible for paying. Once we determine the liable party or parties, we build a robust case to hold it accountable for your injuries and related costs.
