Rideshare companies (e.g. Uber and Lyft) operate by having their drivers use their vehicles as a taxi service for passengers. The problem is that most insurance companies do not cover accidents when the car is used as a private service. That means rideshare companies need to provide insurance, per the regulations of Connecticut.
That can cause complications if you get into an accident while taking a rideshare service.
The main question from anyone involved in a rideshare accident regards who will be responsible for paying the costs. In Connecticut, the at-fault driver will take the financial burden. That can be the rideshare driver. In some cases, the insurance provider of the ridesharing company will need to cover the expenses.
The car insurance of the rideshare driver will only cover passengers if the policy has a commercial component in it. Because that costs more, most drivers do not have it.
If you need advice on how to address your rideshare accident claim, contact The Doctor Lawyer Team. Then, consult with an experienced Connecticut rideshare accident attorney.
Injuries from a rideshare accident could range from slight to serious, and all of these would require immediate medical attention:
If you are involved in a ridesharing accident anywhere in Connecticut, you can be entitled to damages including:
A ridesharing driver is considered a freelancer or an independent contractor of the company in order to protect them from liabilities. Rideshare companies consider themselves more as middlemen rather than direct service providers.
They do provide some insurance coverage for drivers. However, that does not automatically mean you will get a fair settlement from the company if you get into an accident. That is why you need a competent ridesharing accident attorney who knows what to do in your situation.
