Rideshare policies often provide liability coverage during active trips and while accepting ride requests. Coverage limits and who is insured can vary by policy and by state.
California uses pure comparative fault, so each party is assigned a percentage of fault. Your compensation may be reduced if you share some responsibility.
Medical providers or insurers may place liens on a settlement; handling liens properly helps ensure you receive the costs needed for care.
Legal communications remain confidential, and information shared with your attorney is protected to support your case.
You may pursue a rideshare injury claim through the rideshare company’s insurance, your own auto policy, or by filing a civil lawsuit. Each option has different timelines and potential outcomes.
