Every year these services become increasingly popular, giving residents an affordable alternative form of transportation while also providing income to drivers.

We will hold those responsible for your rideshare accident injuries accountable for your damages.If you have been injured in a rideshare accident as a result of someone else’s negligence, then you are entitled to seek compensation for your injuries. However, determining who is responsible to you for your injuries in a rideshare accident can be complicated. Because Uber and Lyft drivers use their personal vehicles to transport passengers, different insurance policies may apply depending on the unique facts of each case.
Uber and Lyft passengers that are injured as a result of the rideshare driver’s negligence may have a personal injury claim against the rideshare company itself. For example, Uber carries a $1 million insurance policy to pay for personal injury, property damage or death that is caused by an Uber driver. In those cases, Uber’s insurance policy will be the primary insurance policy.
On the other hand, if the rideshare passenger was injured in an accident caused by another driver, then the passenger would have a claim against the insurance company of the driver who caused the accident.

Uber and Lyft both provide auto liability insurance coverage for its drivers to cover injuries caused by their drivers. Both rideshare companies carry insurance coverage up to $1 million per accident.
Typically, rideshare insurance coverage only applies to any car accidents occurring between the time that the rideshare driver accepts a ride request until the ride has been completed. If an accident occurs outside of this time frame, then drivers are personally responsible for any injuries or property damage that they cause. For that reason, rideshare drivers are also required to carry their own personal auto insurance.
After an Uber or Lyft accident, it is important to work with an experienced personal injury attorney who can identify all possible sources of compensation for your injuries.
Like most car accidents, you may be able to recover compensation in the form of damages. There are two types of damages commonly awarded in car accident cases: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages will provide compensation for medical bills, lost wages, medication and other out of pocket expenses. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, includes compensation for things like pain and suffering.
To determine the value of your case, you should consult with a Milwaukee personal injury attorney who can explore all of the facts of your case.
In Wisconsin, accident victims have a short window of time in which they can file a personal injury claim known as the Statute of Limitations. If you have been injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, it is important to contact a personal injury attorney about your case as soon as possible.
