Understanding the Rideshare Insurance System

Rideshare insurance is a specialized type of coverage that protects both drivers and passengers when using services like Uber or Lyft. It works differently depending on whether the driver is offline, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger.

Most rideshare companies provide commercial insurance that kicks in once a trip is accepted, covering liability for injuries or property damage to third parties.

Drivers are usually required to maintain personal auto insurance, which may cover accidents when the app is off, but it often excludes incidents while driving for rideshare purposes.

The Insurance Company is Not on Your Side

The primary goal of the insurance company is to minimize payouts, not to ensure you receive full compensation. Insurance adjusters will do everything within their power to protect the company’s bottom line.

Claims adjusters have a wide range of tactics they use to devalue rideshare accident claims, including:

  • Offering quick, lowball settlements
  • Questioning the severity of injuries
  • Claiming pre-existing conditions caused the damage
  • Delaying the claims process
  • Requesting unnecessary recorded statements
  • Minimizing medical expenses or future treatment costs
  • Ignoring evidence that supports the claimant’s case
  • Using complex legal or insurance language to confuse claimants
  • Pressuring victims to sign releases or waivers early

Approach the insurance claims process carefully and avoid mistakes that could hurt your case. Our experienced rideshare accident attorneys in Los Angeles will protect your rights.

We have former insurance adjusters on staff who understand how insurance companies evaluate claims, giving us an advantage in negotiations.

Still, if the insurer refuses to cooperate, we are prepared to continue the battle in court.

Compensation You Can Get After a Rideshare Accident

Being involved in a rideshare accident can lead to serious financial, physical, and emotional consequences. You may suffer injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to broken bones, whiplash, or more severe trauma that requires ongoing medical treatment.

In addition, property damage to your vehicle or personal belongings can create further financial strain.

Emotional stress, pain, and reduced quality of life are also common after an accident. As your Los Angeles rideshare accident attorneys, we will work with you closely to understand the full scope of your expenses and future potential losses.

Types of damages you can recover after a rideshare crash in Los Angeles include:

  • Medical bills
  • Future medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Any property damage
  • Emotional distress

As your rideshare accident lawyers in Los Angeles, we will make sure that your claim accurately reflects both your economic losses (like the cost of medical care) and non-economic losses (like pain and suffering).

California Has a Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits

In California, personal injury lawsuits must be filed within a specific time frame called the statute of limitations.

According to Cal. Civ. Code § 335.1, for most personal injury cases, you have two years to file a lawsuit in court. However, after reviewing your case, our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers will explain exactly how much time you have to take legal action.

Missing these deadlines can prevent you from pursuing full compensation. Act now and call us right after the crash to ensure your claim is filed on time. The sooner you reach out to BANA LAW, the more time we have to work on your case.

No Win, No Fee Guarantee

Our rideshare accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay any upfront fees for legal services. Instead, we only get paid if we successfully recover money for you through a settlement or court award. That’s a BANA LAW guarantee.

The lawyer’s fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, so there’s no financial risk for you to hire us. This system allows anyone, regardless of their financial situation, to access experienced legal representation.
