Rideshare accidents involve multiple insurance policies and confusing rules. Passengers are almost never at fault, which means you have strong rights. KP Law investigates the crash, handles the insurance maze, and fights for the compensation you deserve.
Passengers Often Don’t Know Their Rights
When you’re hurt in an Uber or Lyft, you’re stuck between:
- The rideshare driver’s insurance
- The company’s $1 million policy
- The other driver’s insurance
- Your own policy
It’s complicated, but passengers rarely carry any blame.
How Rideshare Insurance Actually Works
If the rideshare driver is at fault:
Uber/Lyft carries up to $1 million in liability coverage.
If another driver is at fault:
Their insurance pays.
If they’re uninsured, Uber/Lyft’s uninsured motorist coverage may apply.
If both drivers share blame:
We pursue all responsible parties until your losses are fully covered.
This is why having a lawyer who knows rideshare rules is critical.
