The legal process typically begins with a free consultation, followed by an investigation into the accident, gathering evidence and medical records, and submitting a demand to the insurance companies.

Accidents and injuries that occur during entry or exit from an Uber or Lyft may still be covered under the company’s insurance, especially if the driver was logged into the app and actively facilitating the ride.

Uber and Lyft provide $1 million in UM/UIM coverage when the app is active and a ride is in progress. If an uninsured or underinsured rideshare driver injures you during an official trip, you’re likely still covered under the company’s policy.

It’s common for injuries like whiplash, soft tissue damage, or concussions to appear hours or days later. Seek medical attention as soon as you notice symptoms and notify your attorney.
