Uber and Lyft Accident Attorneys in Cincinnati
Rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft present unique legal challenges. Insurance coverage depends on whether the driver was actively transporting a passenger, waiting for a ride request, or off the app entirely. The attorneys at Wolterman Law Office understand the complexities of rideshare accident claims and will fight to maximize your recovery.
Understanding Rideshare Insurance Coverage
Uber and Lyft provide different levels of insurance coverage depending on the driver's status at the time of the accident. When the app is off, only the driver's personal insurance applies. When the app is on but no ride is accepted, limited liability coverage applies. When a passenger is in the vehicle, Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage.
