Common Questions
How does insurance work in Uber and Lyft accidents?
Rideshare insurance coverage varies based on the driver’s status: when offline (personal insurance applies), when online but waiting for a ride request (contingent liability coverage), and when actively picking up or transporting passengers (higher commercial-level coverage). Brian and Fletcher determine exactly what coverage applies to maximize your compensation.
What if I was injured as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft?
As a passenger, you may be covered by the rideshare company’s $1 million liability policy. You may also have claims against other involved vehicles’ insurance. Brian and Fletcher handle all aspects of these claims, ensuring you receive full compensation without having to navigate the complex insurance landscape yourself.
Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly after an accident?
Rideshare companies typically classify drivers as independent contractors rather than employees to limit their liability. However, Brian and Fletcher can pursue claims against their insurance policies and, in some cases, may be able to hold the companies directly responsible for negligent hiring or safety violations. They explore all avenues to maximize your recovery.
What compensation can I receive after a rideshare accident?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future medical treatment, diminished earning capacity, and other damages. In cases involving uninsured drivers or insufficient coverage, Brian and Fletcher identify additional sources of compensation including your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
What should I do immediately after an accident involving Uber or Lyft?
Seek medical attention, report the accident through the rideshare app, document the scene with photos if possible, get the driver’s information and rideshare details, collect witness contact information, and contact our attorneys before speaking with any insurance representatives. Prompt legal representation is crucial in these complex cases.
