Rideshare accidents can quickly become more complicated than a typical car crash. Habbas & Associates helps individuals in Modesto understand how liability works when Uber or Lyft is involved and what steps can be taken next.
How Uber and Lyft Accident Claims Are Structured
Rideshare accident cases differ from standard vehicle accident claims because liability depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Key factors include whether the driver was:
- Offline and not using the rideshare app
- Logged into the app but waiting for a ride request
- Actively transporting a passenger
Each phase may involve different insurance coverage and responsibilities. These distinctions often play a central role in how a claim is evaluated and pursued.
