Yes, as a passenger during an active ride, you are covered by the rideshare company's insurance. Uber and Lyft maintain liability coverage of at least $1 million for accidents occurring during a trip. You may be compensated for expenses such as medical bills, on-going treatments, property damage, pain and suffering, and more. If you're looking to seek compensation, contact an Ohio rideshare accident lawyer.

The rideshare company does not cover you if you are not logged into the app at the time of the accident as you are only covered when the app is on. To determine avenues of compensation, consult with an Ohio rideshare accident lawyer.

Rideshare accident cases are more complex due to the involvement of multiple insurance policies, including the driver’s personal insurance and the rideshare company’s coverage, which varies based on the driver’s app status. These cases also involve large insurance providers and multiple legal teams representing the rideshare companies, making negotiations more challenging. Additional complexities arise if passengers, other drivers, or pedestrians are involved.

The length of the claim process for a rideshare accident can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the accident, the severity of injuries sustained, on-going rehabilitation, and the pushback of the parties involved potentially leading to trial. Claims involving multiple parties, such as the rideshare company, their insurance provider, and potentially other drivers or pedestrians, can add layers of complexity, leading to longer resolution times.

Our Ohio rideshare accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any upfront fees. Instead, we receive a percentage of your settlement or court award, typically ranging from 33% to 40%. This arrangement ensures you only pay if we recover compensation for you.
