Who Can File a Claim After a Rideshare Accident?
You may be entitled to compensation if:
- You were injured as a passenger in an Uber or Lyft
- Your vehicle was hit by a rideshare driver
- You were walking or biking and struck by a rideshare vehicle
- You were a rideshare driver injured due to someone else’s negligence
We help determine who was at fault, what insurance applies, and how much your claim is worth.
Rideshare Insurance: How It Works in South Carolina
Uber and Lyft carry large insurance policies, but coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.
Coverage tiers:
- App off
Only the driver’s personal insurance applies. - App on, waiting for a ride request
$50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident in bodily injury coverage. - En route or carrying a passenger
Up to $1 million in coverage through Uber or Lyft.
We’ll determine the driver’s status at the time of the crash to make sure the right insurance company pays your claim.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were injured in a rideshare crash, you may be eligible for compensation covering:
- Emergency care and hospitalization
- Surgery and physical therapy
- Lost wages or reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or anxiety
- Permanent disability or scarring
- Wrongful death damages (if a loved one was killed)
We work with your medical team and financial experts to assess the full impact of your injuries, not just what the insurer wants to pay.
