Learn / Rideshare Accidents

Who pays after an Uber or Lyft crash?

Coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash: app off, app on and waiting, or actively carrying a passenger. Each phase triggers a different layer of insurance.

What if the rideshare driver was waiting for a ride request?

A lower contingent liability limit typically applies during the waiting phase, and higher limits apply once a trip is accepted or underway.

Read more about how we handle these matters on our rideshare accidents practice page.
