When your finances and wellbeing are on the line, you should not be the one to pay for your damages out of your own pocket if you did not cause your accident. Our law firm focuses on bringing claims against large corporations and the insurance companies that defend them. If Uber or Lyft is the defendant in your case, then we still will not hesitate to demand full compensation on your behalf.
Can You Sue If Injured While a Rideshare Passenger?
When you are hurt while riding in a vehicle as a passenger, Wisconsin’s liability law allows you to file an injury claim against any parties liable for your injuries. In terms of an Uber or Lyft rideshare accident, the two most likely liable parties will be your own rideshare driver or another motorist who struck their vehicle.
Figuring out who is liable for your injuries is a different matter altogether, though. None of the involved parties will want to admit to any fault. It will likely be up to our attorneys to investigate different types of proof gathered from around the scene of your accident to determine liability. Filing a claim against a party that is ultimately found not to be liable can greatly delay your case or risk its validity entirely.
Evidence of liability can be found in:
Uber & Lyft Insurance Coverage for Crashes
There might be a substantial insurance policy covering the bodily injuries suffered in your rideshare accident. The value of the relevant insurance policies provided through Uber or Lyft changes depending on what the rideshare driver was doing at the time of a crash.
Uber has announced it has a $1 million policy limit that applies as soon as a driver using their app picks up a passenger. When there is no passenger in their vehicle, though, the company provides a reduced coverage amount. Furthermore, coverage might not be provided at all if the driver’s own insurance company offers any coverage amount.
The gray areas in Uber and Lyft insurance policy rules can make it difficult for an injured driver or passenger to collect all the compensation they require after a bad accident. The policies also do not account for damages related to property repair, pain, and suffering.
