Liability means legal responsibility for injuries and damages. In rideshare cases, fault can lie with the rideshare company, the driver, other motorists, or multiple parties.
Medical expenses cover hospital bills, doctor visits, rehabilitation, and ongoing care related to crash injuries.
Subrogation is when an insurer seeks reimbursement from another party for benefits paid to the insured after a crash.

Options may include negotiating with insurers for a fair settlement, initiating a formal demand for compensation, or filing a personal injury lawsuit. The best path depends on the crash details, insurance coverage, and recovery goals.
