Columbia Uber Rideshare or Taxi Accident Liability

Uber and Lyft accidents are occurring more frequently, and the legal issues can be complicated when trying to figure out who is responsible for paying for injuries. Who is at fault? Who pays – the driver’s insurance or the insurance of the company (Uber, Lyft) that employs the driver? Is the driver an independent contractor or an employee? Contact our Columbia Uber accident lawyer today.

Uber, Lyft, Taxi & Rideshare Insurance

Drivers and independent contractors who work for Uber, Lyft, taxi, and rideshare companies are sometimes considered employees by the courts. Typically, the companies are required to provide insurance for their drivers. Uber drivers are covered by Uber’s insurance if they are involved in an accident, although the driver/employee/contractor must be actively working and on the clock in order to be covered. Otherwise, the driver’s own insurance could be responsible for injuries and damages. Like all drivers, they are required by law to have insurance.

If you’ve been involved in an accident involving an Uber, Lyft, or rideshare vehicle, contact an experienced accident lawyer immediately. He/she will understand the specifics of each case and can negotiate with you to maximize your chances of receiving a fair settlement for injuries or damages.
