FAQ
Who pays after a rideshare accident?
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft may cover some of the damages, depending on the driver’s status in the rideshare app, the nature of the crash, and the insurance policies of those involved. Talking with a Lyft or Uber accident attorney will give you a better idea of what your compensation may look like.
What insurance covers passengers after a rideshare crash?
Uber and Lyft carry liability insurance policies for passengers to cover medical costs, property damage, lost wages, and injured parties’ legal fees. However, coverage details depend on the driver’s status in the rideshare app at the time of the crash. If you’re a driver, you may also have rideshare insurance coverage from major insurance companies.
Can I file a claim if I was hit by a rideshare driver while walking or biking?
Yes, you can file a claim as a pedestrian or a cyclist if you were hit by a rideshare driver. Partnering with a rideshare accident lawyer will increase your chances of successfully filing a claim and receiving compensation for your damages.
Do rideshare drivers get coverage if they’re injured in an accident?
Rideshare companies provide coverage for drivers injured in rideshare accidents, though how extensive that coverage is depends on several details, including the driver’s status in the app. Drivers may also have their own insurance policies with additional coverage plans, such as bodily injury or third-party liability.
Can I sue Uber or Lyft after a rideshare accident?
You may be able to bring a claim or lawsuit against a rideshare service if you were hurt while a driver was working. Depending on the nature of your case, you may be entitled to compensation due to negligence.
What should I do if I was injured as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft?
After calling 911 and seeking medical attention, your first step is to document the accident as best you can, such as with videos or photos, including a screenshot of the driver’s status in the rideshare app. You should also get contact information from all parties and speak to eyewitnesses about what they saw. Make sure you do not accept blame, and contact a rideshare accident lawyer.
Do I need a rideshare accident attorney, or will Uber/Lyft’s insurance cover everything?
While you can try to handle the claim on your own, your odds of maximum compensation are much higher with an Uber or Lyft accident attorney. They can fight for you in negotiations, dispute insurance company claims, and help you put together strong evidence.
