Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft have become part of everyday life in Milwaukee. But when an accident happens, it is assumed that the rideshare company’s insurance will take care of everything. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Rideshare companies often deny claims, leaving injured drivers and passengers feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do next.
At Natasha Misra Law, we know how disruptive this can be. Our rideshare accident lawyers helped clients across Wisconsin navigate denied claims, and we’re here to explain your options and how to move forward.
Before looking at solutions, it’s important to understand why a rideshare company might reject your claim. Common reasons include:
Disputes Over Fault – If there’s any question about who caused the crash—the rideshare driver, another motorist, or even both—companies may deny coverage.
A Different Policy Applies - If you receive a denial, there may be a different insurance policy that applies to the facts of the particular accident.
Lack of Documentation – Missing police reports, incomplete medical records, or other gaps in evidence can give insurers an excuse to push back.
Policy Exclusions – Rideshare policies are complicated. Depending on whether the app was on, off, or waiting for a ride, different coverage rules apply.
Understanding the “why” behind a denial helps you and your lawyer identify the next step.
A denied claim is not the end of the road. Here’s what you can do:
1. Consult with a Rideshare Accident Lawyer: Talking with an attorney should be one of your first moves. A Milwaukee rideshare accident lawyer can:
Evaluate Your Case – Review the accident details and the denial letter to identify weaknesses in the company’s reasoning.
Sort Our Insurance Coverages - An experienced attorney can look at all available insurance policies and see which apply to the circumstances of the accident.
Explore Options – From negotiations to filing a lawsuit, your lawyer will help you understand the best path forward.
Build Evidence – Lawyers know what records, statements, and reports are needed to make your case stronger.
2. Review the Denial Letter Carefully: Rideshare companies are required to explain why they’re denying your claim. Look for:
Specific Policy References – Pay attention to the insurance terms they cite.
Requests for More Information – Sometimes a denial isn’t final. Providing additional documentation may change the outcome.
3. Strengthen Your Documentation: A solid paper trail makes it harder for companies to avoid paying:
Accident Reports – Always get an official police report.
Medical Records – Keep detailed documentation of your injuries, treatments, and costs.
Witness Statements – Independent accounts can confirm what happened.
Wisconsin uses a fault-based insurance system. That means the driver (or drivers) responsible for the crash must cover damages. In a rideshare accident, this often involves multiple parties: the rideshare driver, another motorist, and the rideshare company itself. Proving fault clearly is one of the most important parts of a successful claim.

You’re driving through your neighborhood in Wauwatosa, heading down Highway 41 in Appleton, or waiting at a light in Green Bay when—out of nowhere—a UPS truck crashes into your car. Your airbags deploy. Your heart’s racing. You’re shaken up and unsure of what to do next.
It’s a frightening scenario, but it’s more common than most people realize. UPS trucks are everywhere—on the roads in Milwaukee, delivering to homes in Madison, making pickups in Hales Corners, and weaving through traffic in West Allis or Kenosha. These large commercial vehicles are on tight deadlines and often operate long hours on busy streets. That pressure can lead to dangerous mistakes—and serious accidents.
If you’ve been hit by a UPS truck in Wisconsin, it’s important to take action right away. At Natasha Misra Law, we help people across Milwaukee and the state recover from commercial truck accidents and fight back when large corporations try to avoid accountability.
UPS is one of the largest delivery companies in the country. In Wisconsin, their fleet includes local package delivery trucks, tractor-trailers moving between hubs, and third-party contractors operating under the UPS brand. That means there can be multiple layers of responsibility and insurance coverage involved.
If a UPS truck driver caused your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
But holding UPS accountable isn’t easy. Their drivers may be protected by corporate insurance policies, and their legal team will work hard to minimize what they pay out. That’s where we come in. Our legal team knows how to investigate these cases and fight back on your behalf.
If a UPS truck hits your vehicle in Milwaukee or anywhere in Wisconsin, take the following steps to protect yourself and your claim:
Get to Safety: Move to a safe area if possible. Check yourself and passengers for injuries and call 911 immediately.
Get Medical Help: Even if your injuries seem minor, always seek medical attention. Some injuries take time to show up—and a medical record protects your health and your case.
Call the Police: Request an accident report. This creates an official record and can be critical when dealing with UPS’s insurance company.
Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, license plates, skid marks, injuries, and anything else relevant.
Gather Information: Collect the UPS driver’s name, license number, and insurance information. If there are any witnesses, get their contact info too.
Do Not Talk to UPS or Their Insurance Adjuster Alone: They may try to get a statement from you or offer a quick settlement. Don’t sign anything or accept payment before speaking with a lawyer.
Contact Natasha Misra Law: We will immediately begin investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and fighting for full compensation.
Accidents involving UPS trucks come with unique challenges:
Corporate Layers: UPS may argue that the driver is an independent contractor, or that another entity was responsible.
Multiple Insurance Policies: Different policies may apply based on the vehicle type, route, or location.
Driver Fatigue & Pressure: UPS delivery schedules are intense. Drivers often work long shifts with limited breaks, which can lead to mistakes behind the wheel.
Vehicle Size: UPS trucks are much larger and heavier than passenger vehicles. That means more serious damage and injuries.
