How Much Can I Win For My Uber Or Lyft Case?<\/h1>\n
\n

Uber accidents and Lyft accidents have been on the rise since the companies have been recruiting even more drivers. Individuals use the services to go to work, go out, return home from events, attend parties, and more. Many people simply drive for the companies so they can earn a few dollars of extra income, but others drive full time. It is no surprise that the companies have skyrocketed in value, both worth billions of dollars. With that many drivers and passengers, though, it is common for accidents to happen. If you have been in a Lyft or Uber accident, you may be able to receive ample compensation from the company. Clients often call us and ask how much they can win in a claim, but the answers are seldom straightforward.

Key Insurance Information about Uber and Lyft<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three different phases of rideshare insurance, with small differences for each company. Regardless of the company, though, the drivers are covered by their own personal insurance<\/a> policies if the apps are turned off and they are not working. <\/span><\/p>\n

The next phase is activated when a driver turns on the rideshare app and is waiting for a passenger to request a ride or trip. At this point, Uber issues coverage for $50,000 per person in bodily injury if an individual was hurt in an accident (such as the driver of another vehicle or a pedestrian), $100,000 per accident in total bodily injury to parties, and $25,000 in property damage liability (to cover other vehicles that were damaged, homes that were damaged, and more). You will also be covered for $250,000 in Uber’s uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Lyft also provides these same amounts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Upon accepting a passenger, the driver will then begin to head towards the customer. Once he has accepted the ticket, the phase will change. Now, the driver is covered with an increased amount, and the passenger or passengers are also covered. The phase will not expire until the passenger has been let out of the car at his destination. Then, the phase will revert back to the normal one. During this time, both Lyft and Uber will provide ,000,000 in liability insurance coverage, ,000,000 in underinsured motorist coverage (in the event another driver\u2019s insurance will not cover the accident), ,000,000 in uninsured motorist coverage (in the event the other driver has no insurance coverage, or if the rideshare incident involved a hit and run in which the other driver<\/a> fled the scene of the crash), and comprehensive collision coverage. Uber\u2019s collision coverage has a $1000 deductible that you must meet before it kicks in, and you must have that coverage on your personal auto policy. Lyft, on the other hand, has a $2,500 deductible. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
