Can I Sue After Rideshare Accident?

Rideshare accidents—yes, they happen more often than we might think.

With Uber and Lyft on the rise – millions of people depend on them every day for quick rides around the city.

But what if you are the one hurt in a rideshare accident? Can you actually sue? That is what we will break down here.

When is the rideshare company responsible?

If the driver was on the clock—meaning they were either driving to pick up a passenger or had a passenger in the car—the rideshare company’s insurance should cover it.

Types of compensation you could get

– Medical expenses – Lost wages – Pain and suffering – Punitive damages

Don’t miss the statute of limitations

In simple terms – that is the window of time you have to file a personal injury claim. The clock starts ticking as soon as the accident happens – and it can range from 1-3 years, depending on where you are.

What if the driver is not at fault?

In that case – you might need to look to the other driver’s insurance for compensation. If they are uninsured or underinsured – then your own insurance might cover the damages.

Why you need legal help? An expert will help you figure out the next steps and protect your rights.
