Santa Monica Uber/Lyft Accident Attorney

Ask Questions And Get Answers After A Ride-Sharing Vehicle Accident

Were you injured as a passenger in an Uber, Lyft, or ride-sharing accident? You undoubtedly have urgent needs and many questions about getting compensation for your losses. Randolph and Associates offer free initial consultations to injured people and their family members. Let us hear your questions, and we will gladly review the facts to give you personalized answers. Common questions coming from our clients involve issues such as the following:

Q: I was injured in an accident while in a ride-sharing vehicle. Does it matter who is at fault?

A: For your purposes, it will not matter in most cases. As a passenger, you are protected whether or not the ride-sharing service driver was at fault. Lyft and Uber cover losses for people injured while riding, regardless of who was at fault. Each company carries $1 million in liability insurance to apply in case of accidents. A personal injury attorney can help ensure you recover all compensation you are eligible for.

Q: Can I recover compensation even if my driver was at fault?

A: Yes. Your driver’s role in the accident does not affect your eligibility for compensation after suffering injuries in an Uber or Lyft accident. See the question and answer directly above this question for more details.

Q: Does my driver need to have insurance?

A: When an Uber or Lyft driver picks up a fare, the company insurance activates. The driver does not have to use their insurance in case of a crash. However, if an Uber or Lyft driver drives “off the clock,” only their insurance will apply.

Q: What if the other party (not the ride-sharing driver) was at fault?

A: Even if another driver has insurance, it might be capped at a certain amount, such as $50,000. That is why the $1 million in insurance in the ride-sharing relationship is so important. It includes coverage for accidents caused by other drivers who are uninsured or underinsured.
