Injured in an Uber or Lyft Accident?

What to do After an Uber or Lyft Accident?

Understanding Insurance in an Uber or Lyft accident

Ridesharing, which has become a part of mainstream personal transportation, is full of benefits, although, as with everything, accidents can occur. The primary difference between using ridesharing companies such as Lyft or Uber versus calling a taxi or car service is that Lyft and Uber drivers are independently contracted and drive their personally insured vehicles. In contrast, taxi cab drivers are driving a company vehicle owned, inspected, and maintained by the company. Pasadena personal injury attorneys recommend treating an accident or collision during the use of rideshare as one would in any other traffic collision. Because the injured party is not driving, nor is it their vehicle, taking photos and obtaining all information from the driver is imperative. Contacting Grigoryan Blum and Grigoryan as soon as possible would be wise, as insurance claims with ridesharing services are usually more complex than traffic accidents involving personal vehicles.

Time Limits for Filing an Uber or Lyft Accident Claim in California

When a passenger is injured in a Lyft or Uber accident, the insurance coverage may depend on what the Uber or Lyft driver was doing at the time of the accident. As with all claims involving accidents where personal injury or damage to personal items has resulted, acting quickly and efficiently is essential. To ensure you don't miss out on any compensation, victims of ride-sharing accidents should contact a Pasadena uber accident attorney as soon as possible.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in an Uber or Lyft Accident?

Those who operate vehicles for Uber and Lyft do so as independent contractors. If you are injured by an independent contractor for one of these companies, you may file a claim against the rideshare driver.

Employers be held liable for the actions of their employees, but companies are not responsible for the actions of their independent contractors. The driver uses their own equipment (vehicle), makes their own hours, and operates by their own terms. However, both Uber and Lyft carry insurance that covers their drivers while they are logged in and providing prearranged rides.

If you were injured while a passenger in an Uber or Lyft collision, you may claim damages of medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering and more. A Pasadena personal injury attorney at Grigoryan Blum & Grigoryan will seek the maximum compensation that is available.
