Unique Challenges in Rideshare Accident Cases

Rideshare accidents involve legal nuances that differ from typical car crashes. Determining liability and navigating the insurance coverage of rideshare companies can be especially challenging. Important factors include:

  • Driver Status: Was the rideshare driver actively logged into the app, en route to pick up a passenger, or carrying a passenger at the time of the accident? These details affect which insurance policies apply.
  • Rideshare Company Policies: Both Uber and Lyft provide coverage for accidents during certain phases of the ride, but gaps may exist depending on the circumstances.
  • Multiple Liable Parties: Liability may involve the rideshare driver, another motorist, the rideshare company, or even a vehicle manufacturer.

Our legal team has the experience needed to sort through these complexities and ensure that all liable parties are held accountable.

What to Do After a Rideshare Accident

  • Call 911: Report the accident and ensure that everyone involved receives medical attention if necessary.
  • Gather Evidence: Document the scene with photos, note the rideshare driver’s app status, and collect contact information from all parties and witnesses.
  • Avoid Statements: Avoid discussing fault or giving detailed statements to insurance companies without consulting an attorney.
  • Contact a Lawyer: An experienced rideshare accident attorney can help protect your rights and navigate the complexities of your case.

Liability in Rideshare Accidents

Liability in rideshare accidents depends on many factors. Key considerations include:

• The rideshare driver’s fault or negligence

• Fault of another driver involved in the crash

• Mechanical defects or hazards caused by third parties

Both Uber and Lyft provide liability coverage during specific phases of a ride:

• Offline or Not Logged In: The driver’s personal insurance applies.

• Logged In and Waiting for a Ride Request: The rideshare company provides limited liability coverage.

• En Route to Pick Up or During a Ride: The rideshare company’s full liability coverage, up to $1 million, may apply.
