Palm Beach County Uber and Lyft Accident Attorneys Represent Injured Individuals
Xenick Lebedeker Pepin: Personal Injury Attorneys Focusing on Rideshare Accidents
If you were involved in a car accident involving Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare company, you may be able to initiate a lawsuit against the service to obtain compensation for your injuries. However, the type of claim you bring will depend on the circumstances surrounding the accident:
- If the rideshare company driver caused the crash, they might be able to be sued. However, it might not be possible to collect damages from him if he only has personal insurance coverage that does not apply when a driver is involved in a commercial task such as carrying passengers for a charge.
- Although both Uber and Lyft offer coverage of up to $1,000,000 per accident for customers injured in an accident, not all rideshare companies do so. If the rideshare company doesn’t provide that coverage or refuses to pay the claim, your personal insurance might provide coverage up to the limits of the policy.
- If the rideshare driver was not liable for the accident, a lawsuit could be brought against the driver who was determined to be at fault. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or an insufficient amount, a claim may be able to be made against the rideshare company or your personal insurance.
- The injured person’s own insurance company might cover the gaps in a rideshare company’s insurance policy, as long as their coverage is tailored for this purpose.
