Alpharetta Uber & Lift Accident Lawyers
Helping Our Clients in Georgia Recover Compensation
Rideshare services, such as Uber and Lyft, have become a popular way to get around town in recent years. Instead of having to call a cab or use another mode of transportation, customers can simply request a ride within minutes from an app. In addition, almost anyone can become drivers for rideshare companies if they have their own vehicle and adequate insurance—without obtaining a commercial driver’s license (CDL).
But what happens if you are involved in a rideshare accident as a passenger or while operating your own personal vehicle?

Determining Fault in a Rideshare Accident
If you were injured in an Uber/Lyft accident while riding as a passenger, you need to prove who is liable to file an accident claim. But if the collision was caused by a rideshare driver, you might be wondering if you must file a claim with the driver’s or the company’s insurance.
If the Uber/Lyft Driver Is At Fault
Keep in mind, unless the driver has commercial liability insurance, you will most likely have to file a claim through Uber or Lyft. If an insurance company discovers a driver was using a personal vehicle for commercial purposes, it will often cancel the policy. When you are riding in an Uber/Lyft vehicle, both companies provide $1 million in liability coverage.
If a rideshare driver causes the crash while you were operating your personal vehicle, you will file a claim with the driver’s insurance.
If the Other Driver Is At Fault
If a third-party driver causes the Uber/Lyft accident, you will have to file a claim with the third-party driver. If an uninsured or underinsured driver causes the accident, Uber/Lyft provides up to $1 million in UM and UIM coverage.
