Who is Liable for a Rideshare Accident?

One of the most complex aspects of a rideshare accident case is determining liability. In a typical car accident, the at-fault driver is responsible for the victim’s damages. However, when it comes to rideshare accidents, the situation is much more complicated.

Depending on the circumstances, the following parties may be liable for a rideshare accident:

  • The rideshare driver
  • The rideshare company (Uber or Lyft)
  • Another motorist
  • The vehicle manufacturer
  • The vehicle parts manufacturer
  • The vehicle maintenance company

When a rideshare driver is “on the clock” and actively transporting a passenger, the rideshare company’s insurance policy will typically cover any damages. However, if the driver is “on the clock” but has not yet picked up a passenger, the rideshare company’s insurance policy may only cover limited damages. If the driver is “off the clock,” the rideshare company’s insurance policy will not cover any damages.

At the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., we can help you determine liability for your rideshare accident. Our Killeen rideshare accident attorneys can conduct a thorough investigation into the crash, gather evidence, and build a strong case on your behalf.

What to Do After a Rideshare Accident

After a rideshare accident, it is important that you take the right steps to protect your health and your rights. Here are some things you should do:

  • Call 911: If you or anyone else is injured, call 911 right away. The police will come to the scene and write an accident report. This report can be used as evidence in your case.
  • Get medical attention: Even if you do not think you were seriously injured, it is important that you see a doctor as soon as possible. Some injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and internal bleeding, may not be immediately apparent. A doctor can evaluate your condition and create a record of your injuries.
  • Exchange information: Get the names, contact information, and insurance information of all drivers involved in the accident. If there were any witnesses, get their names and contact information as well.
  • Take pictures: Use your phone to take pictures of the accident scene, the damage to all vehicles involved, and your injuries.
  • Report the accident: If you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, report the accident to the rideshare company. If you were in another vehicle, report the accident to your insurance company.
  • Do not talk to the insurance company: The insurance company may try to get you to make a recorded statement or accept a lowball settlement offer. Do not talk to the insurance company until you have spoken to a lawyer.
  • Call a lawyer: An experienced rideshare accident lawyer can help you understand your rights and options. They can handle all the legal details of your case and fight for the full, fair compensation you are owed.

Types of Rideshare Accident Compensation

After a rideshare accident, you may be facing significant financial burdens. You may be unable to work and have mounting medical bills. You may be wondering how you are going to pay your bills and support your family. Fortunately, you do not have to face this situation alone. You may be entitled to compensation for your damages.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for the following damages:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
