When an Uber or Lyft is involved in a crash, figuring out which insurance policy actually applies gets complicated fast. We sort out who’s responsible so you don’t have to.
A rideshare accident can involve several layers of insurance depending on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash: waiting for a ride request, en route to pick someone up, or actively transporting a passenger. Each phase can trigger different coverage, sometimes the driver’s personal policy, sometimes the rideshare company’s commercial policy.
Sorting out which applies, and making sure the right one pays, is often the hardest part of these cases.
If you were hurt while riding as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, you’re generally not at fault regardless of which driver caused the crash, but that doesn’t mean the claims process is simple.
You may be dealing with the rideshare company’s insurer, the at-fault driver’s insurer, or both, each with their own incentive to minimize what they pay.
Whether you were a passenger, a driver, or hit by a rideshare vehicle, we sort out the coverage so you can focus on recovering. The call is free, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
