Our New Cassel Rideshare Accident Injury Lawyers Know How These Collision Claims Work
Rideshare accidents could involve several types of victims, and each case could present a unique set of options for seeking compensation. For example, a driver whose car was hit by a careless Uber driver might file one claim based on their no-fault insurance and, if their injuries are serious, one based on the rideshare company’s coverage.
Some of the victims of a rideshare accident could include:
- Rideshare riders who used the app to connect with the driver
- Occupants of other vehicles involved in the crash
- Pedestrians or cyclists hit by rideshare drivers
Rideshare drivers cause collisions in a wide range of ways, most of which boil down to being careless or reckless behind the wheel and violating a traffic law. Some causes or contributing factors could include:
- Distracted driving, including using the app
- Speeding
- Fatigue from long hours
- Illegal turns
- Sudden lane changes
- Following too closely
- Ignoring traffic signals
- Driving under the influence
- Failing to yield
How Does Insurance Work After a Rideshare Accident?
When a rideshare driver causes a serious injury crash, insurance coverage should pay for the resulting injuries. However, it is often difficult to determine which policy is in effect. This is because Uber and Lyft provide different levels of coverage based on the driver’s status on the app when the collision occurs.
If the app is off, the driver’s personal auto insurance applies. If the app is on but they did not accept a ride, the rideshare company starts providing limited coverage. Once a ride is accepted or a passenger is in the vehicle, the company’s full commercial liability policy covers injuries and damages.
