Building Your Rideshare Accident Case in Bridgeport

If you were hurt while riding as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft, you will need to determine fault for the accident before you can recover compensation. If your driver is to blame, it is possible for their insurance and/or the rideshare company’s commercial insurance to come into play. Rideshare insurance works at different tiers based on the timing of an accident:

When the rideshare driver is not logged into their driver app, their personal policy applies if they cause an accident.

Once the driver logs into their driver app, the first level of the rideshare company’s commercial policy applies if the driver causes an accident.

Once the driver picks up a passenger, the second level of the rideshare company’s commercial policy applies until they are delivered to their destination.

Your Bridgeport rideshare accident lawyer at Bartlett Grippe will help you make sense of your recovery options through auto insurance. Our team knows how to negotiate with difficult insurance companies and ensure they treat injured claimants fairly.

It’s important that you avoid speaking with an insurance carrier until you have secured legal representation. The insurance carrier may attempt to devalue or deny your claim, or they may pressure you to accept a lowball settlement. Bartlett Grippe can help you maximize your settlement.

Pain and suffering. A plaintiff has the right to monetary compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress they experienced.
