ACCIDENTS INVOLVING UBER & LYFT VEHICLES

Home ❯ Legal ❯ Dallas Uber Accident Lawyer
Accidents Involving Uber & Lyft Vehicles


INJURED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WITH AN UBER OR LYFT VEHICLE? CALL THE DALLAS ACCIDENT
ATTORNEYS AT MONTGOMERY LAW.





Insurance coverage is often a contentious issue in injury accidents involving an
Uber or Lyft vehicle. While these types of claims can be complex, the car
accident attorneys at Montgomery Law can help get you the money you deserve on a
no-win no-fee basis.

Uber, Lyft and other rideshare services have become incredibly popular in Dallas
and across the country. It’s easy to download the app and get a ride, yet most
people don’t understand that if an accident occurs, they will almost always face
an uphill battle with the insurance company.

In contrast to professional taxi cab and limousine drivers, drivers for
transportation network companies (TNCs) are independent contractors who
generally drive part-time to supplement their income. Because rideshare drivers
are working commercially when they carry paying passengers, their auto insurance
company will often use this as an excuse to deny any and all injury claims
relating to a crash. Even the court system sometimes struggles with issues of
liability when it comes to accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers.

If you’ve been injured in an accident with an Uber or Lyft vehicle (whether you
were a rideshare passenger, driver, or even in another vehicle), it is extremely
important to work with an experienced Dallas car accident attorney to ensure
that your rights are protected. The Dallas attorneys at Montgomery Law have
substantial experience with these types of accident claims, and we handle all
cases on a no-win no-fee basis.

Our goal is to get you every penny in compensation that you’re owed so that you
can focus on moving forward with your life. We will handle all communication
with the insurance company, and will keep you informed throughout the entire
process. We will never ask you to pay us a single penny out of pocket, and under
no circumstances will we agree to a settlement offer without your express
approval. If you would like to discuss your case with us today, call us at
214-720-6090 (local) or 1-833-720-6090 (toll-free) for a free consultation.

INJURED AS AN UBER OR LYFT PASSENGER?



If you’ve been injured as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft vehicle, it is your
responsibility to pursue a personal injury claim in order to recover
compensation for your damages (i.e., medical bills, lost wages, pain and
suffering, etc). Depending on the facts and circumstances of the case, you may
need to file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company, the rideshare
company’s insurance company, and/or your own auto insurance policy.

Rideshare insurance functions a bit differently than regular auto insurance.
When a diver is working and his or her app is turned on, the company provides an
insurance policy that is supposed to cover the driver and their passengers. When
the ridesharing app is turned off and/or the driver is off duty, the driver
relies on his or her own personal auto insurance policy.

While this may seem straightforward, complications can (and often do) arise. For
example, a driver may technically be on duty even when he or she does not have
passengers in the vehicle. If they strike a pedestrian or another car during
this time, what insurance policy is liable for covering the resulting damages in
that scenario—the rideshare company’s or the driver’s? What happens if the
driver’s policy limits are not sufficient to cover the losses of the injured
party?

Liability in these situations is less clear than in other types of motor vehicle
collisions. Uber’s insurance company may deny responsibility simply because the
driver did not have a passenger, or if the driver violated a term or condition
of their contract—factors that are outside the control of the victim. Our job is
to advocate on the victim’s behalf to ensure that they have the best chance at a
full and successful recovery. It’s all we do at Montgomery Law, and we have a
track record of success helping accident victims just like you.

INJURED AS AN UBER OR LYFT DRIVER?



For rideshare drivers, a car accident is usually handled just as any other
accident. If another driver caused the crash, your claim will most likely be
against the other driver’s insurance policy. Where it gets confusing is that
Uber and Lyft both provide third-party liability insurance policies which
technically cover up to $1,000,000 in collision coverage.

Unfortunately, this insurance coverage will only kick in under very specific
circumstances. Depending on the circumstances of your case, it may be in your
best interests to discuss your options with a car accident lawyer before making
any decisions moving forward. When multiple overlapping insurance policies are
involved, filing a claim and recovering compensation will not be a simple task.

The bottom line is that if you were injured while driving for Uber or Lyft,  you
need someone on your side who will fight for you. At Montgomery Law, we offer
free consultations by phone or email. We’ll look at the facts of your case to
determine the best course of action moving forward, and if you decide to hire
us, we can handle your entire claim from beginning to end on a no-win no-fee
basis.

WHY ARE RIDESHARE ACCIDENTS UNIQUE?



To have any success with a personal injury claim involving an Uber or Lyft
vehicle, you need to have a thorough understanding of insurance law and
liability. Unlike other types of car accidents, there are a number of factors
with rideshare accidents that make establishing liability much more difficult.

First, drivers are considered independent contractors of the rideshare company;
not employees. This can make it more-challenging to establish liability on the
part of Uber or Lyft for their negligence (such as for failing to properly vet
their drivers) and make it easier for a company to deny your claim. An
experienced lawyer can thoroughly investigate your claim to help establish a
chain of liability and demonstrate that you are indeed entitled to compensation
for your injuries.

Second, there is often confusion surrounding insurance coverage for rideshare
accidents. In addition to the fact that coverage may not always be guaranteed if
the driver is not “on the clock,” the policies carried by rideshare companies
are often intentionally complicated. If a driver had the app turned off, or some
sort of error occurred, then Uber will often simply deny your claim by default.

What’s worse is that a driver’s personal insurance policy will likely only cover
up to $30,000 per victim with a $60,000 cap per accident. Clearly, this is
likely to be insufficient when an accident involves multiple victims and/or
significant damages.
