Throughout Palm Beach and Broward Counties.As Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft grow in popularity, the number of accidents involving rideshare drivers has also increased. These accidents can be complex due to the multiple parties and insurance policies involved.
The Complexities of Rideshare Accident Claims
Rideshare accidents present unique challenges when navigating the insurance claims process. Unlike typical car accidents, rideshare cases involve multiple layers of coverage, including Personal Injury Protection (PIP), the rideshare company’s insurance policy, the rideshare driver’s personal auto insurance, and any insurance policies held by other parties involved in the accident. There may be another driver who may also be at fault.

Understanding Rideshare Insurance Coverage
One of the most important factors in rideshare accidents is determining liability and insurance coverage:
- Passenger Coverage:
- Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft typically provide insurance coverage for passengers, covering up to $1 million per person if they are injured while the driver is actively engaged in a ride.
- Third-Party Coverage:
- Victims who are struck by a rideshare driver during their active duty are generally covered by the company’s insurance policy, with coverage limits that depend on whether the driver was en-route to a pickup or carrying passengers at the time of the accident.
- Driver Status and Liability:
- Coverage levels vary based on the driver’s status—whether they are waiting for a ride request, on their way to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting a passenger. Understanding these distinctions is essential to pursuing the correct insurance policy for your claim.
