Uber and Lyft Ridesharing services

Ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft, have significantly grown over the past few years. More people now depend on ridesharing services to get around more than ever. To question whether or not you are covered in the event of an accident while riding is very important.

By choosing to ride with Uber or Lyft, you are placing your life and trust in the hands of your driver. Accidents can occur even if your driver is the safest ridesharing driver in the world. In the event that you get into an accident and become injured while riding in an Uber, you may be covered under Uber’s third-party liability insurance policy. It is important to note that coverage for injuries sustained in an accident while riding as a passenger in an Uber will depend on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the party at fault for causing the accident.

As long as the driver has an applicable insurance policy that meets the ride sharing specifications, Uber/Lyft will cover injuries and damages sustained by the passenger. Third-party liability insurance coverage will pay up to $1 million in personal injuries and property damage when the Uber/Lyft driver is at-fault for the accident.

If the Uber driver is not at fault for the accident, then you could pursue the at-fault driver’s car insurance provider for damages by submitting a claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit if the injuries and/or damages are extensive. If the party at fault does not carry insurance or is underinsured, Uber/Lyft provides uninsured /underinsured insurance coverage. The coverage can be up to $1 million, but it only applies under certain circumstances.

If you were involved in an accident while riding in or the driver of or involved with an Uber/Lyft ride sharing service, trying to figure out who is liable for damages can be confusing. Many factors are taken into account when determining liability and damages. We can help assess your claim and determine
how to best obtain damages if you injured while riding in any ridesharing services.
