Who Pays When Your Uber Crashes?
Rideshare cases are more complex than regular car accidents because there are three different insurance "periods" that determine how much money is available for your injury.
The Critical distinction: If the app was OFF, Uber pays
nothing. If the app was ON and matched with a rider, the coverage jumps to
$1,000,000.
Common Rideshare Injuries
We represent passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers hit by Uber/Lyft vehicles. Common scenarios include:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers staring at the GPS app instead of the road.
- Fatigue: Drivers working 12+ hour shifts to meet incentives.
- Unsafe Drop-offs: Passengers let out in traffic or dangerous locations.
Why You Need a Lawyer
Uber and Lyft use powerful insurance teams to deny claims. They will argue the driver was an "independent contractor" to avoid liability. We know how to pierce this defense and trigger the million-dollar policy coverage for your medical bills.
