Uber/Lyft Accidents
Uber/Lyft Accidents
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are widely used throughout California, and like any other form of transportation, accidents can happen. If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to compensation—whether the accident was caused by the rideshare driver or another motorist. While rideshare drivers are typically classified as independent contractors, these companies may still be held liable for their drivers’ negligence in certain situations.
Be aware that rideshare companies and their insurers will often try to devalue your claim and offer a lower settlement than what you may be entitled to. Before accepting any offer, speak with us to review your case and explore your options.
Which Insurance Coverage Applies if I Was a Passenger in an Uber or Lyft?
Like all drivers, rideshare drivers must carry their own insurance policies. However, there are specific situations where the rideshare company’s insurance policy may apply instead of the driver’s personal coverage.
