A simple glossary to help you understand terms that show up in rideshare accident cases.
Rideshare policies typically include personal auto liability coverage and rideshare-specific coverage that may apply depending on driver status and app activity.
California follows a system of comparative fault, meaning your compensation can be reduced by your share of responsibility for the crash.
Liability depends on driver actions, whether the driver was logged into the app, and who owned the vehicle; settlements may involve multiple parties.
Damages include medical bills, lost wages, property repair, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering.

Fault can involve the rideshare driver’s actions, other motorists, or road conditions.
