How an Attorney Untangles the Complexities of Uber and Lyft Claims

Rideshare accidents are more complex than ordinary car crashes. You aren’t dealing with an individual driver; your claim involves a multibillion-dollar tech company and its dedicated claims team. Uber and Lyft classify their drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, and they rely on that distinction to dispute responsibility for their drivers’ negligence. Meanwhile, key evidence, such as app data and trip records, is in the company’s possession.

A Murray Uber and Lyft accident lawyer knows how to cut through these obstacles. Your attorney can subpoena the app data and trip records needed to establish what happened and to overcome the independent contractor defense, holding the responsible parties accountable. They can also identify every insurance policy that applies to your crash and pursue the maximum coverage available under each policy.

Available Insurance Coverage in Murray Uber and Lyft Accidents

Rideshare insurance coverage depends on what the driver was doing when the crash occurred:

• If the app was off, only the driver’s personal policy applies, and many personal policies exclude rideshare driving.
• If the app was on but no ride had been accepted, Uber and Lyft provide $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident.
• Once a ride is accepted, a $1 million policy applies.

Your own personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured motorist coverage may also provide coverage, depending on the circumstances.

Can You Sue Uber or Lyft Directly After an Accident?

In most cases, you will file a claim against the driver and the insurer covering the trip, not the company itself. Because Uber and Lyft classify drivers as independent contractors, they are usually not liable for a driver’s negligence. A claim against the company may be possible if it kept a driver with a dangerous record on the road or if an app defect contributed to the crash.
