Rideshare accidents raise insurance questions that don't come up in a typical car crash. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, the coverage available depends heavily on what the driver's app status was at the moment of the crash.

Why rideshare claims are different

Uber and Lyft carry large commercial insurance policies, but coverage changes depending on whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting one. Sorting out which policy applies is often the first challenge in these cases.

Who can file a claim

Passengers injured during a ride
Other drivers hit by a rideshare vehicle
Pedestrians or cyclists struck by a driver using the app
Rideshare drivers injured by another negligent driver

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it matter if the driver's app was on or off?

Yes, significantly. Coverage limits are different depending on whether the driver was offline, waiting for a match, or actively on a trip. We sort out which applies to your case.

What if I was a passenger in the Uber or Lyft?

Passengers are generally covered under the rideshare company's commercial insurance policy, which typically provides substantial coverage.

Can I file a claim if I was hit by a rideshare driver?

Yes. If a rideshare driver caused your accident while using the app, you may have a claim against the applicable insurance coverage, whether personal or commercial.
