In accidents where both a rideshare driver and another driver share fault for an accident that you were injured in, each at fault party will be liable to compensate you for a share of your total financial damages, based on each party’s respective percentage of fault. For example, if the Uber/Lyft driver is 70 percent responsible for the accident and the other driver 30 percent responsible, the Uber/Lyft driver and/or his or her rideshare company will be responsible for 70 percent of your damages, while the other driver will be responsible for the other 30 percent of your total damages. The parties’ respective shares of fault may be determined at trial, or the parties may reach an agreement on the allocation of fault through negotiated settlement.
