Deadlines for Taking Legal Action in Your Rideshare Accident Case

- Your age at the time of the accident

Who Is Responsible for Paying for Your Rideshare Accident Damages?
Rideshare companies usually provide their drivers with insurance coverage options. According to Uber and Lyft, those coverage options depend on the rideshare driver’s status.
For instance:
- If the driver is not on the rideshare app, their own insurance policy is in effect.
- If the driver is signed in but does not have a rider match, the company provides a contingent policy. The driver’s policy remains the primary coverage option.
- Once the driver is actively completing a request, the rideshare company’s $1 million liability policy is in effect.
Determining the insurance company responsible for your claim can be complex in some Uber and Lyft accident cases. Loncar Lyon Jenkins can sort out this issue and file your claim with the appropriate insurer.
Determining Whether You Can Sue the Rideshare Company
You may be able to hold Uber or Lyft accountable for your losses if you were injured as:
- A passenger in the rideshare car
- A driver or passenger in another vehicle hit by the rideshare car
- A motorcyclist struck by a rideshare car
- A pedestrian or bicyclist hit by a rideshare driver
The rideshare accident lawyers from Loncar Lyon Jenkins prepare every case for court, but we do not always have to file suit to get a positive outcome for our clients. We are often able to negotiate a settlement agreement with the insurer representing Uber or Lyft.
Do Your Injuries Merit Compensation?

- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Cuts and bruises
- Sprains and strains
- Torn ligaments

Do not assume that your injuries do not deserve compensation. Let us examine your losses and determine whether you have a viable case.
