Injured in an Uber or Lyft Accident? Let Radano Orecchia, LLC Fight for You.



Injured In An Uber, Lyft, Or Other Rideshare Service?

Being involved in any car accident is stressful—but getting hurt while using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft adds a whole new layer of confusion. Who pays? Whose insurance applies? What if you’re the passenger? What if you're the driver?



At Radano Orecchia, LLC, we have the answers. Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand the unique challenges of rideshare accident cases and are ready to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Why Rideshare Accidents Are More Complicated


Unlike traditional car accidents, rideshare claims often involve multiple insurance policies and uncertain liability. Here’s why:

  • Personal auto insurance usually won’t cover the driver if they were working for a rideshare service at the time of the crash.
  • Unless the driver has a commercial policy or specific rideshare coverage (which isn’t available in all states), their insurance provider may deny the claim.
  • Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have their own tiered insurance policies, depending on whether the driver was:
  • Logged into the app but waiting for a ride
  • En route to pick up a rider
  • Actively transporting a passenger


This creates confusion over who is responsible for covering your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Don’t try to figure it out alone—our attorneys can help you understand what coverage applies and how to get the compensation you deserve.
