Rideshare Accidents (Lyft & Uber)

Rideshare Accidents

Ordering a ride through a ridesharing app such Lyft or Uber is easy, but if you get injured in a car accident with a rideshare, getting compensation for your damages can be very difficult. Rideshare drivers are considered independent contractors of the company. That means they may NOT be covered under the insurance policies of the companies they drive for. This will lead to confusion and finger pointing over responsibility. Your simple claim has now turned into a complicated, legal tug of war. Nobody wants to deal with that if they’ve been injured in a car accident.
