Ride Share and Delivery Accident
Why Ride Share Accident Claims Can Be Complicated
Ride-share and delivery accidents often involve more than one driver, insurance company, or policy. Determining who is responsible depends on how the accident happened and what the ride-share or delivery driver was doing at the time.
Multiple Insurance Policies
Different insurance coverage may apply depending on whether the driver was offline, waiting for a ride, traveling to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting someone.
Different Types of Claims
Passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, ride-share drivers, and delivery drivers may each have different rights and insurance options after an accident.
Determining Liability
More than one party may be responsible for the accident, making it important to identify all available insurance coverage and properly open the necessary claims.
Ride-Share Passengers
If you are a passenger in an Uber or Lyft involved in an accident, you are generally not responsible for causing the collision. However, determining which driver caused the accident is important because it affects which insurance company may be responsible for your injuries and damages.
- Get contact and insurance information from all drivers
