$Rideshare Accident FAQ

I Was an Uber or Lyft Passenger in a Crash — Now What?

As a passenger, you were not driving, so fault generally rests with one of the drivers involved — which often makes a passenger's claim clearer than other rideshare claims. The main question is usually which driver was at fault and which insurance applies, not whether you can recover.

While a ride is in progress, the rideshare company's larger commercial policy often applies to a passenger's injuries. If another driver caused the crash, their insurance and possibly your own coverage may also come into play. More than one insurer being involved is common.

Practical steps help: get medical care, report the crash through the app, and save your trip details before they disappear. Then be cautious about giving a recorded statement until you have advice, because even a strong passenger claim can be minimized by an early statement.
