Who Might be Responsible for an Uber and Lyft Accident
California operates on a fault-based statute in car insurance cases. This means that the individual liable for the accident will also be financially responsible for the car accident and other damages incurred. Parties that could be held accountable include Uber or Lyft drivers, rideshare companies, and even third parties, such as road authorities or vehicle manufacturers. Nevertheless, as a rideshare passenger, it's unlikely that you're responsible for an auto accident.
At Doyle & OโDonnell Law Firm, our reliable and expert auto accident lawyer in Sacramento has expertise in handling the complexities of a Lyft and Uber injury claim. We comprehensively inspect the accident to identify at-fault parties and guarantee that our clients receive the maximum compensation for their losses.

Type of Insurance Uber/Lyft Drivers Have
Both Uber and Lyft drivers have insurance coverage provided by their respective rideshare companies. Here's a breakdown of the insurance coverage typically covered:
Situation 1 (Driver App Off)
When the driver isn't actively accepting rides through the app, their personal insurance coverage applies. However, most personal auto insurance policies exclude commercial activities such as ridesharing. In response to this coverage gap, Uber and Lyft offer contingent liability coverage during this time. This coverage typically includes liability for personal injury and property damage. But there might be limitations and exclusions.
Situation 2 (Driver App On, Ride Accepted, Passenger Pick-up, and Drop-off)
Once the driver has activated the ridesharing app and accepted a ride request, the additional coverage provided by Uber and Lyft starts. This policy usually includes liability coverage for personal injury and property damage, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and contingent comprehensive and collision coverage for the driver's car.
Drivers can also increase the coverage provided by Uber and Lyft by purchasing additional ridesharing insurance coverage from their personal auto insurance provider. Hence, to get acquainted with your rights and learn more about the insurance claim process, speak with our knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Sacramento, specializing in Uber or Lyft car collisions.
