Frequently Asked Questions About Rideshare Accidents

Who is liable when a rideshare driver causes an accident?

Liability depends on whether the rideshare driver was using the app and transporting a passenger at the time. The rideshare company’s policy often applies during active trips, while the driver’s personal car insurance may apply at other times.

Can I file a claim if I was injured as a passenger in a Lyft or Uber?

Yes. The rideshare company’s insurance policy typically covers passengers in a Lyft or Uber during the ride. Collecting documentation, ride confirmation, and prompt medical attention can help support your claim.

How are rideshare accident claims different from regular car accident claims?

Rideshare accident cases involve complicated insurance policies and multiple parties beyond the drivers. Determining which policy covers your loss can require specific knowledge of state law and rideshare regulations.

What steps should I take right after a rideshare accident?

Seek medical attention, notify the police, document the scene, maintain communication records with the rideshare provider, and consult with a lawyer for further assistance. Fast action helps preserve evidence and clarify your rights as an injured person.

Does California have specific laws about rideshare insurance?

Yes. California law requires Uber and Lyft to carry layered insurance coverage for drivers. Coverage levels change depending on whether the driver is waiting for a ride, en route to pick up a passenger, or transporting someone.
