Fighting for Rights in an Uber or Lyft Rideshare Accident
Uber’s services are convenient. But, using these services can have an unexpected risk. While you’re riding in the driver’s private car, you could easily be involved in an accident that leaves you to wonder if you have any rights to receive compensation for your injuries.
Uber & Lyft Rideshare Passenger Accidents
If you are a passenger in an Uber that is involved in an accident, you may benefit from the help of an attorney to settle your case. Often these drivers do not have the means to pay for your injury claims, and it may be necessary to go after Uber to get compensation.
The California law states that Uber maintains policies and cover their passengers the moment the transaction starts with the company. These policies may cover death, personal injury, and property damage.
Your Uber driver’s personal auto insurance policy does not cover you during an accident. The moment the transaction begins, the driver is considered a commercial driver. This is why you may want to file a claim against Uber to seek damages for your injuries.
Uber & Lyft Rideshare Driver Accidents
Passengers are not the only ones who can be hurt in an Uber accident. Drivers who sustain injuries may need compensation to pay for their medical bills and property losses as well.
