Experienced Representation for Uber & Lyft Accidents Claims
When you are hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash, whether as a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, figuring out who pays can be confusing. Rideshare companies carry large insurance policies, but coverage depends on exactly what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash. At Howe.Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, we untangle these questions and hold the responsible parties accountable throughout Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
Uber and Lyft classify their drivers as independent contractors and their insurers work to limit payouts, so having an experienced legal team on your side is critical to accessing the coverage you are owed.
How Rideshare Insurance Coverage Works
Coverage turns on the driver's status in the app:
- App off: only the driver's personal auto policy applies
- App on, waiting for a ride: limited liability coverage applies
- En route to a rider or during a trip: a large commercial policy, often up to one million dollars, typically applies
Determining the driver's status at the moment of the crash is often the key to your claim, and it is something we investigate immediately.
Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare drivers face pressures that increase crash risk, including distraction from the app, fatigue from long hours, unfamiliar routes, and the incentive to complete as many trips as possible. Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield are common factors we see.
How We Build Your Rideshare Case
We move quickly to identify every available policy, obtain the trip records and app data that establish the driver's status, gather the police report and any camera footage, and document the full extent of your injuries. We deal directly with the insurers, and when they refuse to offer a fair settlement, we are ready to take your case to trial.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays if I am hurt in an Uber or Lyft accident?
It depends on what the driver was doing at the time. If the driver was on the way to pick up a rider or had a passenger, Uber and Lyft generally provide a large commercial insurance policy. If the app was on but the driver had not accepted a ride, more limited coverage applies, and if the app was off, only the driver's personal policy applies. We investigate the driver's status to identify every policy available to you.
I was a passenger in an Uber that crashed. What are my rights?
As a passenger you are almost never at fault, which simplifies your claim. You may be able to recover from the rideshare company's insurance, the rideshare driver, or another at-fault driver, depending on how the crash happened. We identify all responsible parties and coverage so your medical bills and other losses are fully addressed.
How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim?
The deadline depends on the state: generally two years in Georgia, as short as one year in Tennessee, and generally three years in Mississippi. Because rideshare cases can involve multiple insurers and time-sensitive trip data, it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Will filing a claim cost me my Uber or Lyft account?
Pursuing a legitimate injury claim after a crash you were involved in does not cost you your account, and you have every right to seek compensation for your injuries. We handle the communications so you can focus on recovering.
How much does a rideshare accident lawyer cost?
Howe.Law handles Uber and Lyft accident cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free.
