It might be tempting to start driving for Uber or Lyft, after your work injury to supplement the loss of income from your work injury. However, driving for these companies is working and earning an income. It MUST be reported to your employer’s insurance company as such. Failure to report this income to the insurance company or your attorney can severely jeopardize your case, and potentially have you prosecuted for insurance fraud. Any income you receive from Uber or Lyft while being paid workers’ compensation benefits may reduce the amount paid to you by the insurance company.
