Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Your Case
Who is liable when I'm injured in an Uber or Lyft? +
Liability depends on the driver's status. If a trip was in progress, Uber/Lyft's $1M commercial policy applies. If logged in but not on a trip, limited contingent coverage applies. If the app was off, only the driver's personal insurance is available.
Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly? +
Uber and Lyft classify drivers as independent contractors. However, their commercial insurance provides direct compensation avenues. In cases involving negligent background checks, direct platform claims may be possible.
What should I do immediately after a rideshare accident? +
Screenshot your trip information in the app before closing it. Seek medical attention immediately. Contact CDF Law before speaking with any insurance representative.
