Why Rideshare Accident Claims Are Complex

Uber and Lyft accidents involve a web of insurance coverage that shifts depending on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash โ€” waiting for a ride request, en route to a passenger, or actively transporting a rider. Each phase triggers different insurance policies with different limits. Our Chicago rideshare accident attorneys know exactly how to navigate this complexity to secure the maximum compensation for your injuries.

Uber & Lyft's Insurance โ€” What You Need to Know

Both Uber and Lyft maintain up to $1 million in liability coverage when a passenger is in the vehicle. When a driver is waiting for a request, coverage drops significantly. Our attorneys identify which coverage applies, file claims against all available policies, and fight for every dollar you're owed โ€” whether you were a passenger, another driver, pedestrian, or cyclist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Uber maintains $1 million in liability coverage when a passenger is aboard. If the Uber driver was at fault, their $1M policy applies. If another driver caused the crash, their policy applies โ€” with Uber's policy as a backup. Our attorneys file against all available sources.
Uber and Lyft classify drivers as independent contractors, which limits direct company liability. However, their insurance policies must respond to passenger and third-party claims. In some cases, negligent hiring or app design claims may also be viable โ€” our attorneys evaluate every angle.
If the driver's app was off, only their personal auto insurance applies. If the app was on but no ride was accepted, a limited $50,000-$100,000 policy applies. If a ride was accepted or a passenger was aboard, the full $1M policy applies. The timing matters enormously.
The standard 2-year statute of limitations applies to most rideshare injury claims. However, claims against the City of Chicago require notice within 1 year. Contact an attorney immediately to preserve your rights.
