COMMON RIDESHARE ACCIDENT SCENARIOS
Understanding How Uber & Lyft Collisions Happen
Rideshare drivers often juggle navigating unfamiliar roads with checking app notifications for new rides. Add in Salt Lake City’s rush-hour traffic or wintery conditions, and the risk of accidents can rise significantly. We’ve handled cases involving reckless driving, distractions caused by phones, and even improperly maintained vehicles. By identifying the underlying cause of your crash, our team lays the groundwork for a successful claim.

INSURANCE COMPLEXITIES
The Real Cost of a Serious Collision
One of the biggest challenges with rideshare accidents is figuring out which insurance policy applies. If the driver was en route to pick up a passenger, Uber or Lyft’s commercial policy might apply. If the driver was “off the clock,” their personal auto policy may be responsible. Our attorneys have deep experience analyzing app activity logs, driver agreements, and policy details to ensure every potential source of coverage is pursued.

FAQ
How do rideshare accidents in Utah differ from regular car accidents?
Rideshare accidents often involve multiple insurance policies, including the driver’s personal insurance and the rideshare company’s policy. Liability can be more complex, depending on whether the driver was “actively engaged” in a ride. An experienced Utah rideshare accident attorney can help you navigate these complexities.
Do I file a claim with the rideshare company or the driver’s insurance?
The party responsible for coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident (whether they were waiting for a ride request, en route to pick up a passenger, or carrying a passenger). A local attorney can review the specifics of your case and determine which insurer(s) should be involved.
Can I sue a rideshare company directly for my injuries?
It depends on the circumstances and whether the rideshare company or its driver acted negligently. Typically, rideshare companies are protected by specific legal structures, but an attorney can identify if there is a basis to file a direct claim against the company.
What if the rideshare driver was uninsured or underinsured?
Rideshare policies usually include coverage for situations where the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured. However, coverage amounts can vary, and disputes are common. A Utahbased attorney familiar with rideshare accidents can help ensure you pursue the correct sources of compensation.
How quickly should I contact an attorney after a rideshare accident?
Contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Evidence can disappear, and witness recollections can
fade quickly. A prompt consultation through a Salt Lake City attorney referral service helps preserve critical information and ensures timely filing of any necessary claims.
