Who Is Liable for a Rideshare Accident?
One of the most complex aspects of a rideshare accident claim is determining liability. In a traditional car accident, the at-fault driver is typically liable for the victim’s damages. However, when it comes to rideshare accidents, the situation is often more complicated.
Depending on the circumstances, liability for a rideshare accident may fall on:
- The rideshare driver
- The rideshare company
- Another motorist
- A third party
When a rideshare driver is on the clock and actively transporting a passenger, the rideshare company’s insurance policy will typically cover any damages in the event of an accident. However, if the driver is not actively transporting a passenger, the rideshare company’s insurance policy may not apply. In these cases, the driver’s personal insurance policy may be the primary source of coverage.
At Bashore Green Law Group, our Rochester rideshare accident attorneys can help you determine liability for your accident and identify all potentially liable parties. We can then help you file a claim and fight for the full, fair compensation you are owed.
What Should You Do After a Rideshare Accident?
After a rideshare accident, it is important to take the right steps to protect your rights. If you were injured, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. However, you will need to take certain steps to protect your rights and recover these damages.
Here’s what you need to do after a rideshare accident:
- Call 911 and report the accident
- Seek medical attention, even if you do not think you were injured
- Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage
- Get the names and contact information of any witnesses
- Report the accident to the rideshare company
- Do not give a recorded statement to the rideshare company’s insurance provider
- Do not accept a settlement offer without first speaking to an attorney
