There is never any obligation, and you won’t pay any attorney fees unless we win your case.
Uber and Lyft Accidents in Goldsboro
Those who may be entitled to compensation in a Lyft or Uber accident claim include passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, other drivers and passengers, and even Uber or Lyft drivers themselves.
Our car accident lawyers in Goldsboro handle these accidents and more. In one recent case, attorney Gene Riddle recovered $339,000 in total compensation for a passenger who was injured in an Uber vehicle when it was t-boned by a vehicle that ran a stop sign (see disclaimer below).
“Who is Liable in a Lyft or Uber Accident?”
Depending on the facts and circumstances of the case, different parties may be at fault in Uber or Lyft accidents, and claims may involve one or more insurance companies, and one or more defendants.
In some cases, an Uber driver’s negligence may result in an accident. In these cases, Lyft or Uber insurance, or even the driver’s own car insurance policy, may cover your damages.
In other cases, another driver may be at fault in the Uber accident. In these cases, that driver’s insurance company would likely pay compensation.
Uber and Lyft Insurance in Injury Claims
Uber and Lyft have million-dollar liability coverage, which will be applicable if you are injured while the Lyft driver is on the clock (logged into the app and transporting / dropping off / picking up passengers).
