Lyft and Uber both offer liability coverage. Between the time a driver turns on the app and accepts a ride, they have coverage of up to $50,000 for bodily injury, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 for any damaged properly. When someone ride matches and drops off a passenger, coverage increases up to $1 million per accident and $1 million for underinsured and uninsured motorists. Drivers will also have their own coverage during the time they aren’t using the app if they get in an accident at other times.

The driver’s insurance through the company should cover all damages including your injuries. However, your claim may be complicated depending on the fault determined. Our personal injury attorney team can help investigate your case and build a strong case so you get the best possible result.

If you’re involved in an accident with a rideshare driver, you may be able to sue. However, the requirements for doing so would depend on your accident. Their drivers are considered independent contractors, so this allows the ridesharing company to say that they aren’t their employees, which complicates the legal process.
