Is an attorney necessary for these cases?

Accidents involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle are going to become incredibly complicated, particularly when dealing with multiple insurance carriers. These cases are going to require help from an experienced attorney who can:

  • Obtain all evidence related to the case to prove liability. This can include police reports, eyewitness statements, any available video footage, and photographs from the scene.
  • Ensure that the client is evaluated by a trusted medical professional who can properly assess the injuries and total losses.
  • Negotiate with every party involved in order to reach a fair settlement on behalf of the client.

Uber & Lyft accidents are complicated

According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, there were more than 273,000 total traffic crash injuries during the latest reporting year of data available. Considering the popularity of Uber and Lyft in and around this area, it would be naive to assume that accidents involving these vehicles do not occur. Rideshare accidents do happen, and they often result in severe injuries for those involved. This includes injuries to those riding in the rideshare vehicle, those inside other vehicles involved, as well as injuries to pedestrians.

As with any car accident, proving liability is important in these situations. Whether or not the rideshare company’s insurance carrier will cover damages depends on various factors related to the crash:

  • If an Uber or Lyft driver is off-duty and causes a crash, their personal insurance carrier will be responsible for covering property damage and injury expenses.
  • If an Uber or Lyft driver is signed in to work but does not have a passenger, their personal insurance carrier is still going to be primarily responsible for coverage if they cause an accident. The rideshare companies will provide limited coverage in this situation if the primary carrier’s coverage limits are exhausted or if a claim is denied.
  • If an Uber or Lyft driver has a passenger or is on the way to pick one up when a crash occurs, then both companies have a $1 million liability policy that is supposed to provide coverage for all parties involved.
