Uber/Lyft

Ridesharing is a growing phenomenon thanks to companies like Uber and Lyft. These companies have streamlined the way that passengers hail rides and pay for convenient transportation. As ridesharing has increased in popularity, there has been an increase in the number of Uber and Lyft vehicles involved in auto accidents.

Unfortunately, laws and insurance policy rules have not kept up with the growth of the industry. That makes it difficult for victims injured in accidents involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle to get compensation.

If you have been injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle, contact Hitzke Law Group. Our rideshare accident attorneys have experience handling accident claims involving Uber and Lyft vehicles.

What Happens After an Uber or Lyft Accident?

If you are involved in an auto accident, you take certain steps to report the accident and file an insurance claim. If the accident involves an Uber or Lyft vehicle, you may find this process to be a bit different. Why?

  • Rideshare insurance policies are different than standard policies.
  • Rideshare drivers are contractors not employees.
  • Rideshare companies have large insurance and legal teams poised to defend their position against accident claims.

Do these complexities mean that you cannot obtain compensation in an Uber or Lyft accident? No. What it means is that in order to obtain compensation, you need an attorney who knows how to tackle complexities, negotiate and get results.
