Uber / Lyft Rideshare Accident Attorney Frederick, MD

Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?

Yes, you can sue Uber or Lyft directly in some cases, but it all relies on the circumstances of the accident. In most circumstances, you would make a claim against the at-fault driver's insurance. However, there are some situations in which Uber or Lyft's insurance may be applicable, such as when the driver is actively driving for the ridesharing firm and their own insurance is insufficient.

Both Uber and Lyft provide liability insurance to their drivers while they are enrolled into the app, whether waiting for a ride request or transporting passengers. If the driver was working at the time of the accident, Uber or Lyft's insurance may cover your medical fees, lost earnings, and other damages.

However, if the driver is not registered into the app or is off-duty, the situation becomes more difficult, and you may need to rely on the driver's personal insurance or sue the ridesharing business directly.

How does insurance work in an Uber or Lyft accident? 
 
Insurance coverage in an Uber or Lyft accident is determined by the driver's status at the time of the crash. Blank Kim Injury Law helps clients in Frederick, MD comprehend these complex insurance levels and pursue the correct claim for maximum compensation. 
 
If the rideshare driver is off duty and not logged onto the app, their personal auto insurance coverage applies. If users have logged onto the app but not taken a ride, Uber and Lyft offer contingent liability coverage, which provides limited coverage if the driver's personal insurance does not cover the damages. 
 
When a driver accepts a ride request or transports a passenger, Uber or Lyft's commercial insurance policy takes effect. This includes liability coverage of up to $1 million, which can assist cover medical expenses, lost income, and other losses incurred by injured passengers, other drivers, or pedestrians.
