Why Rideshare Accidents Are Different

Unlike traditional car accidents, rideshare collisions may involve multiple insurance policies.

Coverage may depend on whether the driver was:

  • Logged out of the rideshare app

  • Logged in and waiting for a ride request

  • Transporting a passenger

In some situations, rideshare companies provide liability coverage of up to $1 million.

Determining which policy applies often requires careful investigation.

Who May Be Liable in an Uber or Lyft Accident?

Liability in rideshare accidents may involve several parties, including:

  • The Uber or Lyft driver

  • Another negligent driver

  • The rideshare company's insurance policy

  • Vehicle owners or employers

Identifying all available insurance coverage is an important part of pursuing compensation.

Injuries in Rideshare Accidents

Passengers and other drivers involved in rideshare crashes may suffer injuries such as:

  • Neck and back injuries

  • Concussions

  • Broken bones

  • Soft tissue injuries

Even relatively minor accidents can lead to medical treatment and missed work.
