once the driver has accepted a ride and continues until the passengers are dropped off and the ride is completed.

After a collision with a rideshare vehicle, it's important to follow the same protocol as you would after any other car accident. Call 911 to have the police come to the scene and file an official report. Be sure to take photos and videos of the damages, the accident scene, and any relevant signage or conditions that may have contributed to the incident. If you’re injured, you should immediately seek medical care from an urgent care center. If you delay in seeking immediate medical treatment, the insurance company can claim you were injured in some other incident other than the rideshare accident. Since Uber and Lyft accidents typically involve dealing with a third-party insurance provider, seeking advice from a skilled personal injury attorney can be beneficial. An attorney’s involvement signals to the insurance company that you are serious about obtaining the compensation you deserve for any injuries sustained in the collision. When recovering from injuries sustained in an Uber or Lyft accident, the last thing you want to worry about is facing large insurance companies alone.

In accidents involving rideshare drivers, the insurance claims process depends on whether the driver was "on the clock" at the time. If the driver was not logged into the app, their personal auto insurance will be the primary coverage. When the driver is logged into the app and waiting for a request, the rideshare company’s insurance provides limited liability coverage. The most comprehensive coverage is available
