Yes. Whether you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft crash, or another motorist struck by an Uber or Lyft driver, it’s in your best interest to report an accident involving a rideshare driver to the employer company. Rideshare companies typically expect drivers to report all accidents, even minor ones, but depending on events leading to the accident or the driver’s history, drivers may choose to avoid reporting. A lawyer can report the accident for you, if you wish. The amount of insurance coverage rideshare companies provide for their drivers varies depending on whether they are completing a ride or are logged onto the company’s app. An accident involving a rideshare driver without a rider present may still be "on-the-clock" and acting within the scope of their employment. Of course, rideshare drivers will not have passengers when they are en route to a pickup location. However, they must still be logged into the app. Passengers of rideshare vehicles who suffer injuries in an accident should also report the accident to the rideshare company. Uber and Lyft offer user-friendly reporting procedures on their respective websites.
