What Are The Stages Of An Uber or Lyft?

1. Pre-Acceptance:

This stage begins when the driver logs into the rideshare app and ends when they accept a ride request. If an accident occurs during this time, the rideshare company’s liability is typically limited, and the driver’s personal insurance is primarily responsible.

2. Ride Accepted:

From the moment the driver accepts a ride until they pick up the passenger, the rideshare company’s insurance comes into play, but at a lower coverage limit. Any accidents that occur during this phase will typically be covered by this insurance policy.

3. Passenger in the Vehicle:

Once the passenger is in the vehicle and until they’re dropped off, the rideshare company provides a significantly higher insurance coverage. If an accident happens in this stage, the claim will typically be against the rideshare company’s insurance policy.

Critical Information

Understanding these stages is crucial when determining which insurance policy applies in the event of an accident. It’s always recommended to consult with a knowledgeable rideshare accident lawyer to navigate these complexities and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
