Rideshare Accident Legal Support

Rideshare accidents present unique legal challenges that set them apart from typical car accidents. When you’re involved in an accident with a rideshare vehicle, such as an Uber, Lyft, Via, or Gett, the situation becomes more complex due to the involvement of multiple insurance policies. Unlike traditional car accidents where only the driver’s insurance is involved, rideshare accidents often trigger multiple levels of insurance coverage, including both the driver’s personal policy and the rideshare company’s corporate insurance. Navigating these intricate layers of liability can be overwhelming, especially if insurance companies attempt to shift blame or minimize payouts.

Rideshare accidents also require consideration of factors like whether the driver was on duty (actively transporting passengers or on their way to pick one up) or off duty when the accident occurred. This distinction can affect which insurance policies apply and how much compensation you may be entitled to. For example, Uber and Lyft have specific insurance coverage amounts that vary based on whether the driver is actively working.
