Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer Bear, DE

Sharma Law - Personal Injury Attorney

What should I do if I am involved in an accident with an Uber or Lyft?
Several essential measures should be taken if you are involved in an accident while travelling in an Uber or Lyft:
1. Check yourself and others for injuries first and foremost to ensure your safety. Call emergency services immediately if anyone requires immediate medical attention.
2. Report the accident: Immediately inform the Uber or Lyft driver of the accident. Additionally, they should disclose the incident to their respective companies. You should report the collision yourself if the motorist fails to do so.
3. Collect information: Collect pertinent information from all parties involved in the accident, including the drivers, passengers, and any witnesses. Typical examples include names, contact information, license plate numbers, and insurance information. Additionally, photographs or recordings should be taken of the accident scene and any vehicle damage.
4. Contact the authorities: If necessary, dial 911 to report the accident. They are able to arrive on the scene, evaluate the situation, and submit an accident report. This report may be useful when handling insurance claims or legal matters.
5. Seek medical attention: Even if you believe your injuries are minimal, it is essential to get checked out by a doctor. Some injuries may not immediately manifest symptoms and may worsen over time.
Will Uber or Lyft cover my medical bills and damages in the event of an accident?
Both Uber and Lyft have insurance policies that cover drivers and passengers in the event of an accident. Depending on the nature of the disaster, you may be eligible for different types of coverage. Here is a broad summary:
If another motorist caused the accident, their insurance should cover your medical expenses and property damage. Uber and Lyft both offer additional coverage that may be applicable if their insurance is insufficient.
If the Uber or Lyft driver is at fault: If the accident was caused by the Uber or Lyft driver, their liability insurance should cover your medical expenses and other damages. Uber and Lyft have third-party liability coverage, typically with higher limits than personal automobile insurance.
If the other driver has no or inadequate insurance: Uber and Lyft provide uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in the event that the at-fault driver is uninsured or lacks adequate insurance. This coverage can assist in compensating you for your medical costs and damages.
