You can have a personal injury claim after an Uber or Lyft accident as a driver, passenger, or third party:
Uber Or Lyft Passenger
As an injured rideshare passenger, you can file a claim with the rideshare company if your driver caused the accident. If another party caused the accident, you may need to file a claim against that party’s auto insurance policy. If the third party wasn’t insured, filing a claim under the rideshare company’s uninsured driver coverage is possible.
Uber Or Lyft Driver
If another driver caused the accident, a rideshare driver may need to file a claim on that person’s insurance policy. If the third party doesn’t have insurance, the Uber or Lyft driver can file an uninsured driver claim with the rideshare company.
Third-Party Driver
If an Uber or Lyft driver hits you, you can file a claim with the rideshare company’s policy.
