Why Do You Need an Uber and Lyft Accident Attorney?

Uber and Lyft accidents are going to be complex, and injury victims should not try to handle these cases without an attorney. A Boston Uber or Lyft accident lawyer will use their resources to stand up to aggressive insurance carriers and rideshare companies. They can:

• Obtain and review all insurance policies involved, including the injury victim’s policy as well as the policy of the rideshare company.
• Work with trusted medical and economic professionals to properly calculate their client’s total losses.
• Craft a demand letter to be sent to the insurance carriers to try and resolve the matter efficiently and without going to court.
• Prepare to take the case to trial, if necessary to ensure their client receives the compensation they deserve.

Insurance Coverage in Boston Uber and Lyft Accidents

Uber and Lyft drivers are just like anybody else on the roadway. These are regular drivers with a standard license using their own vehicles to chauffeur people from place to place. They can, and do, make mistakes behind the wheel. There are various ways that accidents can occur involving Uber and Lyft vehicles, and insurance can be complicated in these situations.

Typically, these rideshare companies will handle insurance claims on a tiered rate that depends on whether or not a driver is on duty and whether they have a passenger or not. Drivers who are not signed into their app to work will receive no coverage from Uber or Lyft in the event an accident occurs. However, if a driver is signed into work but does not have a passenger, both Uber and Lyft will provide limited coverage in the event their driver causes an accident and the personal insurance carriers involved deny a claim or if the coverage limits are exhausted.

Finally, if an Uber or Lyft driver causes a crash when they have a passenger or are on the way to pick one up, both companies have $1 million liability policies that are intended to kick in and cover everybody involved.
