Rideshare Accident Insurance in California

Insurance questions after an Uber or Lyft collision may depend on whether the driver was offline, waiting for a ride request, traveling to pick up a passenger, or carrying a passenger. Other potentially relevant coverage can include another driver’s liability insurance, the injured person’s own coverage, and uninsured- or underinsured-motorist protection. Preserve trip receipts, screenshots, vehicle and driver details, and insurer communications. Coverage and deadlines are fact-specific and should be reviewed promptly.
