Understanding Insurance Coverage

When it comes to rideshare and taxi accidents, insurance coverage can be complex and may vary depending on specific circumstances. Below is a general overview.

Rideshare Services (Uber, Lyft, etc.): Rideshare companies typically provide insurance coverage that applies in different phases:

Phase 1: When the driver is not yet matched with a passenger, limited coverage is

               provided.

Phase 2: Once a ride is accepted, but before the passenger is picked up, more

               extensive coverage is in place.

Phase 3: While the passenger is in the vehicle, the highest level of coverage is active.

    Taxis: Traditional taxis are typically required to carry commercial insurance that

                covers both passengers and third parties in the event of an accident.

Navigating Legal Issues

If you are involved in a rideshare or taxi accident, it is essential to consider the following legal issues: liability determination, insurance claims, passenger rights, and third-party claims.

Liability Determination: Establishing liability is crucial to pursuing compensation. This involves determining which party was at fault, whether it was the rideshare driver, taxi driver, or another driver.

Insurance Claims: To seek compensation, one may need to file a claim with the responsible party’s insurance carrier. This can be a complex process, especially when dealing with rideshare companies.

Passenger Rights: As a passenger, one has rights. You should be aware of your rights to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Third-Party Claims: If you are a third party and injured in a rideshare or taxi accident, you may also be eligible for compensation. These claims can be complex, requiring legal expertise to navigate.
