What happens if you are injured in a rideshare such as Uber or Lyft?  Ridesharing continues to disrupt modern transportation models.  The ease of access for many patrons, as well as the reasonable fares associated with these services, has led to continuous growth in the amount of rideshare miles across Kentucky.

What happens if you are involved in an injury accident while riding with one of these companies?  The ridesharing companies themselves carry extensive insurance for passengers of their service.  Uber is required to provide $1 million in liability coverage for any injuries sustained by their passengers in a motor vehicle accident.  This policy is the primary coverage and supersedes even the driver’s own insurance.  Uber’s policy appropriately covers expenses associated with medical bills as well as any lost wages if you are required to miss work.

If the accident was the fault of the other driver, and not your rideshare operator, the primary source of recovery may be the insurance coverage of the liable party.  These matters can become legally complex and it is important to seek the advice of the proven personal injury attorneys at Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington, PLLC.  While ridesharing is fairly new to Louisville, HLH as served the area since 1924.
