You have spent an enjoyable evening with friends in downtown Lafayette, LA. But on your way home, your rideshare is involved in a collision with another car. Even though you weren’t one of the drivers, you can still file a claim to seek compensation.
Liability in An Accident with Multiple Drivers
Things get more complicated when multiple drivers are involved, as is often the case with accidents involving rideshares. For example, if you’re in an Uber and another driver rear-ends you, that driver would be primarily liable for your damages. But if the other driver flees the scene, then the rideshare company’s policy could be accountable for damages.
It’s also important to note that not all insurance companies will cover rideshare drivers. So, if you are injured by a driver without insurance, you may have to seek compensation through Uber or Lyft’s commercial policy.
