Uber/Rideshare
PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
Uber, Lyft and Rideshare Accident Injury Lawyer in Georgia
Uber, Lyft and other rideshare accidents are still relatively new, and they bring with them their own set of unique complications. Taxi services have been in business for decades, and individual companies and drivers are required to carry special commercial insurance policies to ensure they can pay for injuries they cause to other drivers and passengers.
Rideshare drivers don’t have to meet the same insurance requirements as taxis, which can make these cases a little more complicated for both rideshare passengers and people in other vehicles involved in rideshare accidents. For example, an Uber driver’s personal (non-commercial) auto insurance policy might not technically provide any coverage if the driver is engaged in commercial operations at the time of their accident.
That doesn’t mean the situation is hopeless. Uber, Lyft and other rideshare companies do offer some limited commercial liability coverage for certain situations and scenarios, but each case is different.
Working with a car crash lawyer who understands the unique challenges of rideshare injury cases is likely in your best interest if you’ve been involved in an Uber or Lyft crash as either the passenger in the rideshare or as a driver or passenger in another vehicle.

Car crash lawyer Isaac F. Cotto has spent a lot of time studying the intricacies of both the liability laws pertaining to rideshare services as well as the rideshare commercial liability policies that sometimes protect riders and other drivers on the road. He is a good person to talk to about how you were injured and whether you might be eligible to receive compensation from the rideshare driver’s personal auto insurance coverage or Uber or Lyft’s more robust commercial liability coverage.
Rideshare cases are complicated. This is a relatively new and unique area of personal injury law, since nearly any person can simply sign up for an app and become a commercial driver. The insurance requirements are nowhere near as stringent as they are for actual taxi drivers, but you may be able to bring a claim against the rideshare company in addition to the driver.
