Frequently Asked Questions About Rideshare Accidents

If you were injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, determining liability can be complex. Our legal team answers common questions about rideshare insurance policies, who is responsible, and how to maximize your claim.

Michigan follows the legal principle of comparative negligence. This means that you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially to blame for the accident. Your recovery, however, will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault. 

Therefore, if you sustained $100,000 in damages but were 20% at fault for the accident, your recovery may be reduced by 20,000 (20%). You would be entitled to $80.000.

Additionally, if you are over 50% responsible for the accident, you would be barred from seeking non-economic compensation such as pain and suffering. Comparative negligence cases can be difficult since a liable party or their insurer may try to put you completely at fault for the accident. A rideshare accident lawyer can help you understand your rights and ensure that you receive the money you deserve

Few people realize that even minor car accidents can result in serious injuries. A low-speed collision can cause devastating harm, including whiplash, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injury. It is always within your best interest to still consult with an attorney even if you are unsure whether you were seriously injured.

It is essential, regardless of the circumstances of the crash, to seek medical attention immediately. Your body may be in shock after the sudden impact of the collision and unable to determine the true extent of your injuries. Failing to seek medical attention may not only impact your physical recovery, but it could also negatively impact your case.

Any time you are injured in a rideshare accident, you should consult with a qualified attorney. Depending on the circumstances of the case, you might be entitled to damages. 

Damages in a rideshare accident case may include compensation for your:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Vehicle or property damage
  • Future care and treatment
  • Pain and suffering

It is essential to act quickly as you only have a limited amount of time to file a claim for damages against a rideshare company or one of their drivers. Failure to file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations could result in a denial of your claim.

Uber and Lyft have routinely attempted to deny liability by claiming that their drivers are not employees but rather independent contractors. This can be difficult to overcome without the help of an experienced car accident lawyer. Uber and Lyft have endless resources at their disposal and can afford to litigate cases for years on end. 

An experienced attorney, however, can help overcome this obstacle. They can help to prove liability and ensure that you receive the money you deserve for all of your damages, including non-economic damages like pain and suffering. 

One of the most challenging things in a rideshare accident case is determining which insurance policy applies. The answer will depend on the status of the Uber or Lyft driver at the time of the accident. If the driver was not signed in to the rideshare app, then their personal insurance policy would provide coverage. 

If the rideshare driver was signed on to the app but had not accepted a ride request, then their commercial policy would apply. The coverage, however, is not as extensive as when a rideshare driver has accepted a ride or has a passenger in the vehicle. In these instances, the rideshare company’s $1 million liability policy would apply. 

In Michigan, Uber accident claims can lead to settlements ranging from a few thousand dollars to over a million dollars, depending on the severity of injuries and damages. At The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C., we have secured multimillion-dollar settlements for our clients by aggressively advocating against insurance companies. Victims can pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If an Uber driver crashes while conducting a trip, Uber’s $1 million liability insurance typically covers injuries. However, if the driver is off-duty or between fares, the driver’s personal insurance applies, often with additional contingent liability coverage. At The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, we have extensive experience securing compensation for rideshare accident victims, having recovered over $300 million in settlements and verdicts.

Hiring an accident attorney is crucial to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve. At The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C., we’ve successfully secured over $300 million in settlements and verdicts, and we understand Michigan’s specific legal landscape. Our expertise in handling rideshare accident cases aggressively against insurance companies can prevent you from being overwhelmed by the claims process.

Rideshare accident settlements can vary significantly based on the severity of injuries and the circumstances of the accident. In Michigan, settlements may range from $10,000 to several hundred thousand dollars. Our firm has a track record of securing multimillion-dollar settlements, ensuring aggressive advocacy against insurance companies.

The timeline for an Uber accident settlement can vary significantly, often ranging from several months to over a year. Factors influencing this include the severity of injuries, the responsiveness of insurance companies, and whether the case proceeds to trial. At The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C., we leverage our extensive experience in Michigan personal injury law to expedite the process while ensuring you receive the maximum compensation you deserve.
