If an Uber or Lyft collision damaged your vehicle, we also handle your property damage claim at NO extra cost.

Determining Which Coverage Applies

A rideshare driver is not always responsible for a collision, but the insurance analysis often becomes more complicated than in other car crashes when that driver caused your injuries. California law requires rideshare drivers and rideshare companies to carry certain insurance coverage. The policy that applies usually depends on the driver’s status in the app when the crash occurred.

If the driver was not active in the app, the driver’s personal insurance policy should cover your losses. If the driver was active and waiting for a ride request, company coverage may apply up to certain limits. If the driver had accepted a ride and was picking up or transporting a passenger, the $1 million rideshare policy may apply.

Identifying Which Claims Matter

Whether the collision involved Uber or Lyft, your case may require a careful review of more than one policy. Depending on the facts, the claim may involve the following:

• The rideshare company’s insurance policy
• The driver’s personal insurance policy
• A third-party driver’s insurance policy

These overlapping coverage questions can make a rideshare claim harder to sort out than a standard two-car collision.
