Uber/Lyft Accident

UBER/LYFT ACCIDENTS

BEFORE EXPLAINING WHAT OUR LAW FIRM CAN DO IN CASE OF RIDE-SHARING OR UBER/LYFT ACCIDENTS:

What are Uber and Lyft?

Uber and Lyft are Transportation Network Companies, or TNCs. These businesses have revolutionized the carpooling/ride-sharing industry, conveniently giving users a means of private transportation while simultaneously decreasing rate's of driving under the influence. However, these relatively inexpensive ride-sharing options come with implicit complications; what happens if your driver gets in an accident ? What happens if you are injured riding in an Uber/Lyft ? If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident with an Uber/Lyft driver, as a passenger, pedestrian, or even a third party driver, you may have questions about the future. We are here to help.

UBER INSURANCE AND LIABILITY POLICIES

• Uber's drivers are legally classified as independent contractors rather than employees of the company. This nuance allows Uber to effectively deflect liability for any injuries sustained by their users in an accident.
• Passengers of Uber are insured with $1 million in commercial liability insurance per ride.
• Due to the fact that these TNC’s are notoriously difficult to communicate with, this process may be frustrating for passengers to navigate alone. At our firm, we have the knowledge, resources, and systems in place to communicate directly with these large companies.
• Injured motorists, cyclists, etc. may also be entitled to substantial compensation for their damages/injuries. The driver’s insurance policy may still merit recovered compensation per Uber’s excess policy.
