Who Is Liable for a Rideshare Accident?

With the rise of Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies comes a whole new area of liability for car accident claims, but one question rises above the rest: Can you sue Uber or Lyft for an accident?

Rideshare companies make a very important distinction that effects who you can sue for injuries sustained in an accident. These companies classify their drivers as independent contractors and not as employees. This means that the rideshare company cannot be held liable for accidents caused by their drivers; injury claims can only be brought against the driver.

But what if the driver doesn't have enough coverage?

According to Uber's insurance policy (Lyft has a similar policy), their drivers are covered by a $1 million policy for bodily injury to passengers, whether the accident was their fault or caused by a third-party. But this only applies when the Uber driver is online. If the driver isn't online during the trip, then they cannot use Uber's insurance coverage, and the injured party must file a claim against the driver's personal insurance.

Is it really important to hire an attorney?

Rideshares accidents are some of the most complex types of auto-related accidents because of the number of parties involved in the case: you, the driver, the company, and any friends who were with you. That's why you need an attorney who is experienced with rideshare accident cases.
