How an Attorney Can Help After an Accident Involving Uber & Lyft
Determining which insurance policy applies after a rideshare accident is tricky. It often depends on what the driver was doing at the exact moment of the crash, and the companies are not eager to volunteer that information.
An experienced attorney can take over the legal fight:
- Investigating the crash and determining the driver’s status at the time
- Identifying every insurance policy that may provide coverage
- Gathering evidence, including app data, dashcam footage, and witness statements
- Documenting the full extent of your injuries and losses
- Handling communications and negotiations with the insurers
- Filing a lawsuit and preparing for trial if a fair settlement is not offered

Overview of Uber & Lyft Insurance and Liability
Uber and Lyft carry substantial insurance coverage, but how much is available for your claim depends on the driver’s status when the crash occurred.
Coverage generally breaks down into three periods:
- App off. When the driver is not using the app, only their personal auto insurance applies. In Illinois, drivers must carry liability insurance of at least $25,000 for individual bodily injury, $50,000 for total bodily injury per accident, and $20,000 for property damage, along with matching uninsured motorist coverage.
- App on, waiting for a ride. When the driver is logged in but has not yet accepted a trip, Uber and Lyft provide limited liability coverage — $50,000 for individual bodily injury, $100,000 per bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 for coverage.
- En route or carrying a passenger. Once the driver accepts a trip or has a passenger, a $1 million liability policy generally applies.
Depending on the claim, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other losses. Sorting out which policy covers your claim is one of the most important tasks in a rideshare case, and an attorney can make sure no available coverage is overlooked.
