Rideshare accidents present unique legal challenges. Whether you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, a driver for a rideshare company, or hit by a rideshare vehicle, determining liability and navigating insurance coverage can be confusing. I help accident victims cut through the complexity and pursue the compensation they deserve.
Who Is Liable in a Rideshare Accident?
Liability depends on the rideshare driver's status at the time of the crash. If the app was off, the driver's personal insurance applies. If the driver was waiting for a ride request, limited coverage kicks in. If the driver was en route to pick up or was carrying a passenger, Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage.
Insurance Complexity
Rideshare companies layer multiple insurance policies depending on the driver's status. Personal auto insurance, the rideshare company's contingent coverage, and the company's primary liability coverage can all come into play. I know how to navigate these overlapping policies to maximize your recovery.
Passengers, Drivers, and Third Parties
No matter your role in the accident — rideshare passenger, rideshare driver, occupant of another vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist — you may have a valid claim. I represent all parties injured in rideshare-related accidents.
