You Can’t Always Trust Your Rideshare Driver. You Need An Uber & Lyft Accident Attorney.
Rideshares like Uber and Lyft are booming in Austin and throughout Travis county. Every day, people entrust their lives to drivers who often drive recklessly and cause serious accidents. There are even reports of drivers physically or sexually assaulting their passengers.
If you were injured in an accident with a rideshare driver as a passenger or as another driver on the road, it’s time to think outside the box.

Suing The Rideshare Company?
The rideshare driver isn’t always the only party responsible in a rideshare accident. Sometimes, you can also file a civil claim against the rideshare company. But Uber, Lyft and other corporations care about only one thing: money. He will do everything they can to avoid paying anything in a civil action. That’s where David comes in. He is a fighter who is not afraid to stand up to corporations with deep pockets. David alone has taken more than 30 cases to trial – and won all of them.
How Is Liability Determined In Austin Rideshare Accidents?
Uber & Lyft have similar policy rules. They carry liability coverage for its drivers and passengers, but coverage levels depend on whether there is a passenger in the vehicle or not. Both have a three-part insurance structure.
If a driver is offline and not available to pick up riders, he or she is covered by their own personal auto insurance. If a driver is available, but hasn’t matched with a passenger yet, he or she is covered by their own insurance plus an additional contingent liability coverage – which goes up to $50,000 per person bodily injury, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 for property damage. If a driver picks up a passenger and is on a trip with them, a passenger is covered by a $1 million liability coverage policy.
But in many cases, these type of accidents can be complicated. If you were a passenger in an Uber or Lyft and suffered an injury in a car accident, it is in your best interest to obtain legal representation from an experienced car accident attorney.
