Rideshare Crashes Have Bigger Insurance Policies Than You Think

Here is something most people do not know: when an Uber or Lyft driver has the app on and is carrying a passenger or driving to pick one up, the company carries insurance of up to $1.25 million. That is much more than a normal car policy. If the driver is between rides with the app on, a smaller policy still applies. Which policy covers your crash depends on exactly what the driver was doing, and the companies do not make it easy to find out. We do that work for you.

Taxi and livery cabs have their own insurance rules too. And if you were a passenger, here is the most important thing to know: the crash was not your fault. As a passenger, you almost always have the right to be paid for your injuries, no matter which driver caused the accident. Your medical bills and part of your lost pay are covered by no-fault insurance, and we file all of that paperwork for you.

What to Do

After an Uber, Lyft, or Taxi Accident

  • Get medical care right away, even if you feel okay. Some injuries show up days later.
  • Screenshot your ride receipt and the trip details in the app. This proves the app was on.
  • Take photos of the cars, the street, and your injuries if you can.
  • Get the names and phone numbers of the drivers and any witnesses.
  • Call us before you talk to any insurance company. What you say to them can be used against you.

Common Questions

I was a passenger in an Uber that crashed. Can I get compensation?
Yes. Passengers almost always have the right to compensation because the crash was not their fault. One of the drivers, or both, caused it, and their insurance should pay. We figure out which policies apply and handle the claims for you.
The taxi driver told me not to worry about it. Should I still call a lawyer?
Yes. Insurance companies and drivers often try to keep things quiet so you miss your chance to file. A free call with us costs you nothing, and you will know exactly where you stand.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means we only get paid if you win. The consultation is free, and we are available 24 hours a day.
