In the early 2000s, the ridesharing industry took the country by storm. Since then, billions of people all over the United States have taken advantage of this convenient service. However, with the increase in rideshare vehicles on the road, there has been a significant rise in the number of rideshare accidents each year. If you were injured in a rideshare accident, whether you were a passenger in an Uber vehicle or your vehicle was hit by an Uber driver, you must take legal action to recover compensation that will cover the cost of your accident-related damages. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our Uber accident lawyers can investigate your accident, build a strong case, and hold the insurance company responsible for your monetary losses.
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our Uber accident attorneys specialize in handling cases that involve rideshare companies.

Our legal team knows how to investigate this type of complex case to determine which insurance policy was active at the time of the collision and which party should be held financially responsible for your losses.
When you hire an Uber accident attorney on our legal team, they will handle all interactions with the insurance company. Your attorney will know exactly what your claim is worth and will take the insurance company head-on, ensuring you recover every penny of compensation you’re owed. If the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, your Uber accident lawyer will prepare your case for court. During this time, they will continue to negotiate with the insurance adjuster. In most cases, Uber accident claims are settled out of court. An insurance company is often more willing to negotiate once a lawsuit has been filed.

To become an Uber driver, an individual must have personal auto insurance that extends past the state’s minimum requirements. The exact amount of coverage that’s required will depend on the rideshare driving period.
When the Uber app is off and the driver is using their auto insurance, they are only required to have the state’s minimum insurance coverage:
