What Should I Do If I Am In A Car Accident With An Uber or Lyft?

Young man driving a car with

If an Uber or Lyft driver hits you, whose insurance will cover you, the ride share or the driver’s insurance?

When you travel with Uber in Texas your trip is insured by Progressive.

Your Uber driver may carry their own insurance policy. However, if they do not have the proper insurance coverage, Uber’s insurance covers the passengers. Uber has auto liability of at least $1 million in case of injury or death for riders or third parties. In the event of an accident in which another driver is at fault and doesn’t have enough insurance coverage, your trip is still insured under the uninsured policy of Uber.

In case you used Lyft, they have a $1 Million coverage as soon as you accept the ride. Their policy is in excess of the driver’s policy, if valid. In case of an at-fault driver, they also carry Uninsured and Underinsured policy to protect your ride.

There are several important steps that should be taken by injured individuals following an auto accident involving Uber or Lyft.

1. Get immediate medical attention.

Immediate medical attention following an auto accident can play a significant role to the insurance companies in determining the overall value of your case. If you do not have health insurance, you should still get the proper medical attention. Your health comes first. Our office will assist you after the collision to deal with the medical bills.

2. Contact a family member and notify them of your status.

It is important that you get help from family members specially when you suffer severe injuries. They can help with your health and preserving the evidence we need to assist with your case.

3. Preserve the evidence.

Take pictures of the other vehicle, your vehicle and the scene of the collision. If you are too injured to do so ask a family member to do it for you. In some courts, police reports are not admissible. However, a police report can be a helpful tool utilized to gather the evidentiary information required to maximize the value of a claim.

4. Do not post anything on social media or discuss your collision with anyone.

If you’re ever in an Uber accident, you should avoid posting information about that accident or your injuries on social media. There’s very little you can do on social media that can help your case, but there’s a lot you can do to harm your case. Social media can certainly complicate things but there are ways to protect yourself and your personal injury case.

5. Call an experienced uber accident injury lawyer immediately.

It is important that you do not speak with the at-fault parties’ insurance carriers and/or the Uber or Lyft insurance company regarding any potential injuries you may have suffered. Any words or statements made can and will be used against you to greatly diminish your claim. Contact an accomplished Uber accident injury lawyer regarding your case.

Everyone at Chalaki Law was great! Robert Alvarez was my main lawyer and did an amazing job on my case. My process was... long and a bit overwhelming at times but both Robert and Sean were super supportive and explained the entire process in details and always asked if I had questions. The entire staff made sure I was comfortable at every meeting. My case was settled greater than I had expected and they will forever be recommended! Thanks for all the hard work and I'm super happy its all over.read more

Robert Alvarez and Sean Chalaki are great lawyers. My case was a fairly small one, but they treated me like a VIP... through the whole process. From my initial phone call through the successful resolution of my case, they always kept me informed about what was going on and answered all my questions. I suppose the highest praise that I can give them is that if I could go back and do it all over again, I would hire them again.read more

I can’t thank everyone at Chalaki Law enough for everything they did for me. From making sure I was alright at the... beginning of the case to meeting every expectation and answering every question I had throughout. On top of the excellent service I received I was pleasantly surprised to reach a settlement that was higher than I originally had thought. I’d highly recommend Chalaki Law and the amazing staff over and over again to each and every person seeking help with their cases. I hope I won’t be needing their services again, but if I do Chalaki Law will be the only firm I use. Thank you to Mr. Alvarez and Mr. Chalaki for making everything so seamless and for the service everyone was able to give!read more
