Uber Accident Lawyer Auburn, CA

Car accidents can range from minor to severe, and so can the injuries you may experience. Some cause a bit of whiplash, and some can lead to lifelong injuries and years spent in physical therapy. Every accident is different, but the medical care is always expensive.

When you end up in the hospital, your first priority should always be your health. Unfortunately, with a growing pile of medical bills (and a lot of missed paychecks), it’s hard to focus on anything but the financial pressure of your accident. Thankfully, insurance should cover the costs of your injuries. Right?

Unfortunately, insurance providers aren’t always eager to help. Even after a straightforward car crash, they may be hesitant to pay you what you’re owed (or pay you at all). And if an Uber or Lyft was involved in your crash, it can be tough to figure out whose insurance pays out in the first place.

Rideshare vehicles are an interesting challenge when it comes to insurance. Uber and Lyft have insurance plans that cover their drivers, but only in certain situations. If a driver isn’t logged in to the app, their personal insurance plan will cover them in the event of an accident.

If a driver is logged in, but not actively transporting or driving to pick up passengers, they’re covered by the rideshare company’s insurance – but only to a degree. And if a driver is logged in, and either A: driving to pick up a passenger, or B: already transporting a passenger, the rideshare company may be entirely on the hook for a considerable payout.

It’s tough to gather evidence and get the money you’re owed by insurance. But your Auburn uber accident lawyer can make sure you’re getting paid enough, and on time. They can investigate your Uber or Lyft accident, and determine what insurance plans were active at the time of your crash. They can also fight with your insurance provider to make sure you’re getting paid when you need it.
