What Makes Rideshare Accident Cases So Complex?

Uber and Lyft are part of the “gig economy,” serving as a conduit for freelance drivers to connect with people who need a ride. Since they’re not a taxi service, they don’t own the vehicles, nor do their drivers hold a commercial license. Additionally, most rideshare drivers don’t pay for commercial insurance. Unfortunately, many personal auto policies don’t cover a vehicle during rideshare use. Uber and Lyft do provide some insurance coverage; however, there are strict limitations on what these policies cover. With their experience representing our clients in rideshare accident cases, our personal injury lawyers can sift through those layers of complexity to determine liability and pursue just compensation for any damages you’ve suffered.

What Damages Does A Rideshare Accident Settlement Cover?

While treatment for your injuries is your most immediate concern, your Uber or Lyft accident settlement also needs to consider lost income, as well as any decrease in your quality of life. For that reason, it’s critical that you document all your medical expenses, time off work, and any other impact on your lifestyle the accident caused. Keeping a journal that documents all the ways the accident affected your life is essential to getting adequate compensation for your injuries. During your initial consultation, your attorney will go over various aspects of the legal process so that you’ll know what to expect. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. We’re here to help.
