How Rideshare Insurance Works
A collision involving a rideshare vehicle can be more complex than a typical car wreck. In a rideshare situation, there may be several different insurance policies that could apply, which makes it harder to know who should pay.
Coverage can depend on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash:
- Rideshare app off: The driver’s personal auto insurance policy typically applies.
- App on and waiting for a ride request: The rideshare company generally provides thir-party liability coverage, often up to $50,000 per person for injuries, $100,000 per accident for injuries, and $25,000 per accident for property damage.
- En route to pick up a passenger or during a trip: The rideshare company typically provides up to $1,000,000 in liability coverage.
When you add in the possibility that another driver caused or contributed to the crash, the picture becomes even more complicated. Working with a Blytheville rideshare accident attorney who understands these layers can help you avoid costly mistakes. We help clients sort through the different insurance policies, identify which ones may apply, and communicate with the companies involved so that you can focus on your recovery instead of paperwork and phone calls.
Compensation in Rideshare Accident Claims
People injured in these crashes may be able to pursue compensation for several types of losses, depending on the facts of the case.
These can include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
In fatal accidents, certain family members may also have wrongful death claims under Arkansas law. Every claim is different, and no attorney can promise a specific outcome. Our Blytheville rideshare accident lawyer's role is to gather evidence, understand the full impact of your injuries, and present a detailed picture of your losses to the insurance companies involved. We work to pursue a fair resolution so that you can move forward with greater financial stability after a rideshare crash in this area.

What if I can't get in contact with the trucking company after my crash?If you made sure to collect the trucking company's contact information from the trucker at the time of your accident, but have not been able to get a hold of them, we may be able to help. Our truck accident lawyers are used to dealing with trucking companies and can help get the information you need. Oftentimes trucking companies are located in a different state than the one in which the accident occurred, so having an attorney contact them on your behalf may lead to better results than contacting them yourself.
-
Who is financially responsible in a trucking accident, the driver or the trucking company?
The answer to this question depends on the situation and can be fairly complicated. Is the driver an employee or an independent contractor? Typically, a company cannot be held financially responsible for the actions of an independent contractor. To learn more about the "respondeat superior" theory and how this may influence your case, contact our truck accident lawyers to schedule a free consultation.
-
Why are trucks more likely to cause injuries in an accident than passenger cars?The primary difference between a trucking accident and a passenger car accident is the huge difference in weight. Because of the sheer difference in size, trucks typically cause more destruction in an accident than a typical passenger vehicle does. Trucks also can often be hauling hazardous or flammable material, which makes them more dangerous in an accident.
