RideShare Accident Lawyer Newport Beach, CA

Our rideshare accident lawyers in Newport Beach, CA are delighted to provide the best legal counsel for anyone injured in a car accident involving a rideshare vehicle, whether they were the driver or the passenger. If you have been in this type of collision, you will have to deal with several issues. If your car were involved in the collision, you’d need to fix or replace it, work with the insurance company, determine and arrange for the proper care, and find a means to pay for it.

In the early aftermath of an accident, insurance companies take advantage of those who are unrepresented by giving them quick cash to settle their claims for much less than they would receive through a trained attorney. Don’t be a victim of this! Contact The Soliman Firm in Newport Beach, CA, for further assistance. We are ready to fight for your rights.

Who Is Entitled to Compensation from a Ridesharing Company?

In most cases, Lyft and Uber will cover any losses incurred from one of their drivers operating a car while using the rideshare app. If you were any of the following, you might be entitled to reimbursement from Lyft or Uber’s insurance:

A passenger in a ridesharing accident caused by an underinsured or uninsured driver.
A passenger involved in an accident caused by the ridesharing driver.
A pedestrian accident caused by a ridesharing vehicle.
An Uber or Lyft driver injured because of an underinsured or uninsured driver.
Another driver involved in a crash because of an Uber or Lyft driver.
A passenger in another vehicle injured because of the ridesharing company’s driver.
A bicycling accident resulting from the ridesharing driver.

How to Receive Compensation from a Ridesharing Company

Based on the “period” the driver is in, the amount of insurance protecting an Uber or Lyft car varies. When it comes to covering collisions in which their drivers are involved, both businesses employ the same framework:

The Driver Is Available or Waiting for a Ride Request

Usually, the driver’s own insurance will take precedence. Lyft and Uber have insurance that offers $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per incident, $50,000 of bodily injury per person, and $25,000 of property damage coverage per accident if their insurance either rejects your claim or is inadequate to compensate you completely.

The Driver’s App Is Off

Lyft and Uber will probably contest your claim and tell you to file it against their driver’s personal insurance if the driver is not even connected to the app. This can be troublesome since, if the driver didn’t obtain ridesharing coverage, their personal insurance may refuse to provide coverage.

The Driver Is Driving a Passenger

Lyft and Uber carry substantially larger insurance for these types of accidents. Both offer $1 million in underinsured and uninsured driver protection, property damage, and bodily injury liability coverage.

Even though these are sizable insurance that can cover all but the most badly injured claimants, Lyft and Uber have a reputation for vigorously defending claimants on the value of their claims. Even if there is enough money in the policy to cover a plaintiff’s damages, that does not guarantee the insurance provider will make a reasonable offer. To make sure you receive the compensation you are entitled to, you must contact an experienced ridesharing accident lawyer in Newport Beach, CA.
