What happens if the ridesharing company denies liability?

More than 50 million Americans use ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Consumers have proven difficult to establish a reputation with for ridesharing companies. Consequently, some consumers have concerns regarding their liability in incidents. Many passengers are unaware that ridesharing companies are not required to hold liability insurance in many instances. If a negligent motorist causes an accident, passengers may be left with hefty bills and no recourse for recouping their losses. In other instances, drivers may fail to disclose pertinent information about their insurance policies, and passenger coverage may not be extended.
