Uber and Lyft passengers are almost never at fault in an accident. Georgia law provides strong protections, including access to up to $1 million in insurance coverage. KP Law Group helps passengers cut through insurance confusion and pursue the full compensation they deserve.
Passengers Have More Protection Than They Realize
If you’re injured as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, you are in one of the strongest legal positions possible.
Why?
Because you weren’t driving.
Passengers rarely share fault, which means insurance companies must focus on coverage, not blame. While insurers may still delay or underpay claims, passengers have significant leverage when the case is handled correctly.
Which Insurance Policy Applies to Passengers
When you’re inside an Uber or Lyft, the company’s commercial insurance policy usually applies.
If the driver had accepted the ride or was actively transporting you, Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage.
This coverage may include compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term treatment
- Emotional trauma
KP Law Group identifies the correct policy immediately and prevents insurers from shifting responsibility.
Common Passenger Injuries in Rideshare Accidents
Passengers are often unprepared for impact, which can lead to serious injuries such as:
- Neck and back injuries
- Concussions
- Seat belt injuries
- Broken bones
- Soft-tissue injuries
- Anxiety or PTSD
Even low-speed crashes can cause lasting harm.
What To Do If You’re Hurt as a Passenger
- Call 911 and request medical assistance
- Take screenshots of your ride details in the app
- Photograph your injuries and the accident scene
- Seek medical care immediately
- Contact KP Law Group before speaking to Uber, Lyft, or any insurer
Insurance companies often reach out quickly. Do not give a recorded statement without legal guidance.
