Understanding Uber & Lyft Accident Claims
Rideshare collisions are different from many other car crashes because more than one insurance policy may be involved. The coverage that applies often depends on what the rideshare driver was doing at the time of the accident. This can make it difficult for an injured person to know who should be responsible for medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.
In many situations, a rideshare company’s insurance is more likely to apply if the driver had the app on and was either waiting for a request, on the way to pick up a passenger, or already had a passenger in the vehicle. When the app is off, the driver’s personal auto policy is usually the starting point. Your own auto or health coverage may also come into play, especially if another driver contributed to the crash. Sorting out these policies can be challenging, particularly when insurers give conflicting answers.
Insurers sometimes contact injured people quickly, ask for recorded statements, or suggest a fast payment that does not cover all long term needs. It is common to feel pressure to make a decision before you fully understand your injuries or rights. A rideshare accident attorney can help you review the policies that may apply, explain how they fit together, and communicate with insurers so you are not handling these conversations alone.
