UBER AND LYFT ACCIDENTS CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURIES

Accidents involving Uber or Lyft vehicles can lead to severe injuries, including the following:

• Broken or dislocated bones
• Lacerations or puncture wounds
• Amputations
• Crush injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Spinal cord injuries
• Other severe back and neck injury

UBER AND LYFT INSURANCE CAN BE COMPLICATED

The vast majority of vehicle accident cases are resolved through settlements with insurance carriers. However, understanding how the insurance situation works after an Uber or Lyft accident is complicated. Both companies handle these incidents on a tiered basis depending on the status of the driver at the time the crash occurs:

• If an Uber or Lyft driver is not signed into the company app when they cause a crash, their personal insurance will be responsible for any damages to other parties.
• If an Uber or Lyft driver is signed into the company app but does not have a passenger, and if they are not on the way to pick a passenger up, their personal insurance carrier will still be primarily responsible for covering any damages to other parties. However, both rideshare companies provide limited coverage if the personal carrier limits are exhausted or if they deny the claim.
• If an Uber or Lyft driver has a passenger or is on the way to pick a passenger up when signed into the company app to work, both rideshare companies have a $1 million insurance policy to cover every party involved in the crash.
