If you are riding in an Uber or Lyft, and you get into an accident, things can get complicated.
Uber and Lyft have insurance for their drivers. However,
that insurance requires that the drivers have the app turned on, while also indicating that they are on an active trip.
If the Uber or Lyft driver is not showing that they are on an active trip, then the liability for the accident falls on the driver’s personal insurance.
This red-tape is one of the ways that Uber and Lyft car accidents become complicated. You don’t want to be stuck in the middle of this confusion — trying to figure out whether you should be contacting the rideshare company, the driver, the rideshare company’s insurance, or the driver’s insurance.
