Frequently Asked Questions

Call 911 if there are injuries, seek medical care, and report the accident through the rideshare app. Gather the driver’s information, take photos, and get witness contact details. Then, contact GP Law Group to protect your rights and handle the insurance complexities.
Responsibility depends on who was at fault—the rideshare driver, another driver, or both. Uber and Lyft provide $1 million in liability coverage when a passenger is in the vehicle, but multiple insurance policies may be involved. GP Law Group will sort it out and pursue the maximum compensation.

You may be entitled to damages for:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Ongoing care or rehabilitation
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage (if you were driving)
Generally, no. Most classify their drivers as independent contractors, not employees. However, you can file a claim against their insurance policies, and in some cases, you may be able to pursue a claim if the company was negligent in background checks or app functionality.
You can still file a claim. If the rideshare driver was logged into the app or actively transporting a passenger, the rideshare company’s insurance may apply. GP Law Group can determine which policy is responsible.
The statute of limitations is typically two years from the date of the accident. If a government vehicle was involved or the case is more complex, shorter deadlines may apply—so don’t delay contacting an attorney.
