Accidents in Rideshare Vehicles

by

Rideshare apps are commonplace today. People find themselves in other drivers’ vehicles more and more, to get to places safely and quickly. If you are injured in a car accident while a passenger in an Uber or Lyft vehicle, you still have rights to compensation for you injuries. Since these are companies that you are dealing with, before you even get to their insurance, it can be difficult navigating the process to get paid. Each driver with any ridehsare service is required to have Massachusetts rideshare car accidentsample insurance coverage should such an accident occur. The most popular rideshare companies require driver’s to have a $1 million policy coverage.

The problem that occurs is that the driver is not the employee of the rideshare service, he or she is an independent contractor. This means that the rideshare company its not automatically on the hook for your injuries. An experienced Massachusetts personal injury attorney must first determine who is at fault to determine which insurance policy kicks in – that of the driver or the rideshare app. Rest assured that if a second car hits your rideshare car, many rideshare companies have and require uninsured motorist coverage to be in place.
