Successfully Navigating The Complexities Of Rideshare Accidents
You decide to play it safe and take a rideshare coming home from happy hour, or going to the airport, but you get into an accident anyway. You weren’t driving, so who pays for the damage? Or, what if an Uber or Lyft hits you on the road? Rideshare accidents can be complicated, whether you’re a passenger or get into an accident with a car driving for a rideshare company. There are more moving parts than in a typical car accident, but our attorneys are well-equipped to take on the challenges and help you get what you need to recover.
At Ellis Law Offices LLP, we’re experienced in all types of challenging motor vehicle accident situations. If you were involved in an accident in Worcester, Massachusetts, and beyond, we can help.
What To Know About These Accidents
Rideshare accidents are different from a typical motor vehicle accident. When you’re not driving, you’re not liable, but companies like Uber and Lyft may not be helpful when it comes to covering your damages. In these cases, both your driver’s insurance and the rideshare company’s insurance may come into play to cover your compensation.
However, these insurance amounts can differ depending on the time and place of the collision and whether or not the driver has a passenger or not. Determining the liability of an accident involves understanding who was at fault. At Ellis Law Offices LLP, we can sort through all this and help ensure you get what you need to recover.
