How much compensation may be available in your rideshare accident case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the strength of the case, and the available documentation for your damages. Your attorney will gather evidence to document your damages and seek fair compensation based on them.
Some of the most common types of damages we recover for clients hurt in rideshare accidents in Pennsylvania include:
We also represent families in wrongful death actions. If you lost a loved one in a rideshare accident, we can navigate the claims process for you and fight for justice for your family.
Under Pennsylvania law, rideshare accidents are always treated as full-tort collisions. This means we can file an auto liability claim regardless of the severity of your injuries. However, these cases are complicated because of the tiered insurance system used by these companies. The coverage available depends on the driver’s ride status at the time of the crash. For both Uber and Lyft, this includes:
When the driver is offline and not operating as a rideshare driver, Uber and Lyft do not provide coverage. The driver’s personal auto insurance policy is the only option. You may have to rely on your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage if they do not carry coverage.
When the driver is on the app but not matched with a driver, their personal auto insurance policy should pay. However, denials are common. The rideshare company provides contingent coverage that matches or exceeds the policy required by the state.
When a rideshare driver has accepted a ride or is transporting a passenger, Uber and Lyft provide full commercial coverage. This includes $1 million in third-party liability coverage.
