As the popularity and prevalence of ride-hailing continue to increase, so does the incidence of severe traffic accidents. Ridesharing services like Lyft and Uber have fundamentally changed the landscape of urban transportation. Headquartered in San Francisco, Lyft transports passengers in more than 700 U.S. cities and is the country’s second-largest ridesharing service.
OVERVIEW
While hailing a Lyft is convenient, affordable, and easy, ridesharing drivers can be just as prone to negligent behavior as anyone else. Drowsy driving, speeding, and intoxicated driving can have life-altering ramifications for passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians. But who is liable for your injuries and suffering? Is it the driver, or is it Lyft?

This policy is in effect when the Lyft driver is in ‘driver mode’ but has not received a ride request.
Once the Lyft driver has accepted a ride, the insurance policy increases to $1,000,000 of third-party liability coverage and (UM/UIM) per accident.
You should be covered by the company’s 1 million dollar policy. However, ridesharing companies can make it challenging to recover proper reparations, even in accidents where the company’s driver was clearly at fault.
Insurance companies will delay, deny, or underpay claims because they have one objective: to maximize profits. At Rutter Mills, our rideshare accident attorneys are familiar with insurance companies tactics to deny or undercut claims.
