Leave the Insurance Claim to Our Uber And Lyft Rideshare Accident Lawyers
Determining who pays car accident compensation can be complicated in rideshare claims. If the rideshare driver caused the accident, we may file a claim with their private insurance company. If their insurer denies the claim, we will pursue compensation from the rideshare company’s insurance provider.
We Will File a Claim With the Rideshare Company
Uber’s insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status when an accident occurs. Uber typically provides no coverage if the driver is off the app. If the driver is signed into the app and awaiting a ride request, coverage can include the following:
- $50,000 per person for injuries
- $100,000 per accident for injuries
- $25,000 for property damage
Additional coverage is available if the driver is on the way to pick someone up or actively transporting a passenger. Lyft’s insurance offers similar coverage. Our rideshare accident lawyers serving Dublin will deal with the insurance company. Find out how during your free consultation with a team member at The Fitch Law Firm LLC.

The Importance of Complying With Ohio’s Statute of Limitations
You generally have two years from the date of a rideshare accident to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10. If a loved one did not survive a rideshare accident, you generally have two years from the date of their passing to file your wrongful death lawsuit, according to Ohio Revised Code Section 2125.02. This is the general rule, though there are exceptions.
If you do not file your lawsuit on time, the court could prohibit you from filing, leaving you with limited or no further legal options. Our experienced car accident attorneys will interpret the filing deadline for you and file your lawsuit within the allotted time.
Commonly Reported Causes of Uber and Lyft Rideshare Accidents in Dublin
Rideshare drivers have the same responsibilities as all other drivers on the road. To recover damages after an accident, you must prove their negligence caused your accident. That means proving the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
Some frequently reported causes of rideshare accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Driving while fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Defective vehicle parts
- Improper vehicle repairs or maintenance
- Overlooking or disregarding traffic signs and signals
Our investigation will get to the bottom of the accident, and your rideshare accident attorney serving Dublin will build a strong claim that proves your right to financial recovery.
Evidence We Collect to Prove the Causes and Costs of Rideshare Accidents
A strong case file plays two critical roles in your case: it proves the accident’s causes and contributing factors and documents the value of your compensation request. The case file we build to substantiate your claim may include:
- Police reports, including notes, narratives, and diagrams
- Medical records describing your injuries and their costs
- Statements from eyewitnesses and relevant experts
