Compensation in Uber & Lyft Accidents

The responsible party and insurance company depend on several factors. If you were injured as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, the company’s insurance would provide coverage for your injuries and damages. If you are in a vehicle that was hit by a ridesharing driver, liability would depend on whether the driver was carrying a passenger or not working. When the driver has a passenger, the ridesharing company’s insurance would apply. However, if the driver does not have a passenger, his or her personal insurance coverage would be responsible.

Steps to Take After Your Accident

As with any accident, the first thing you should do is to get medical attention for your injuries. Even injuries that initially seem minor, can quickly turn serious. It is in the best interests of your health and healing to have your injuries treated as soon as possible. There are some additional steps you can take to help your case.

After a ridesharing accident, be sure to:

• Gather any witness statements and contact information for witnesses
• Report the crash to the police
• Report the crash to the rideshare company
