Uber and Lyft accidents raise unique insurance questions because coverage can differ depending on whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, en route to a pickup, or actively transporting a passenger. Identifying which policy applies is often the first step in these claims.

Insurance Coverage Periods

Rideshare companies generally provide different coverage levels depending on the driver's app status at the time of the crash, which can significantly affect how a claim is handled.

Who Can File a Claim

Injured passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians struck by a rideshare vehicle may all have a claim, depending on the circumstances.

Uber and Lyft Specifics

While the claims process is similar for both platforms, policy details and company procedures can differ, which is why we evaluate each case individually.
