Who Will Be Held Liable in My Ride-Sharing Accident?

In all personal injury cases, the party filing the claim must prove that the other party was at fault. You will want a lawyer to investigate and help prove that the other party should be held responsible for your injuries.

Ride-sharing companies typically require their contracted drivers to have personal car insurance. Personal car insurance must meet or exceed the minimum insurance requirement for Indiana motorists. If their personal insurer or their plan does not provide coverage for ride-sharing-related accidents, then the ride-sharing company’s insurance may be held liable.

Uber and Lyft provide their contracted drivers with liability insurance coverage that varies depending on the driver’s circumstances:

  • If the driver is not logged into the app then no coverage will be provided by either Uber or Lyft.
  • If the driver logged into the app but has not officially accepted the ride request, Uber or Lyft will provide them with liability coverage. Coverage is extended if the driver is at-fault for the accident. The coverage consists of up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 total liability per accident in addition to $25,000 for property damage.
  • If the driver is logged into the app, has accepted the ride, and is at fault for the accident, then Uber or Lyft will provide liability coverage of up to $1 million.

Consult with the experienced Indianapolis rideshare accident lawyers at Hovde Dassow + Deets to seek full and fair compensation for your injuries.

  • "This is an exceptional law firm!"
    I was severely injured by a metal-on-metal hip implant. I needed a lawyer willing and capable to go up against the corporate Goliath, Smith & Nephew. After writing and calling various attorneys across the country who claimed in their TV advertisements to be powerful law firms willing to take on Smith & Nephew, but apparently were too busy to personally talk to me by phone and were unimpressive in their return letters, I became very discouraged. Time is a huge issue with injury cases like mine. My main concern was finding a lawyer that would not “rip me off”, waste my time and incompetently ruin my limited opportunity. After hours of research, I found an article about an outstanding victory a law firm had obtained in dealing with the very same medical company that had injured me. I was amazed to learn that the winning law firm, Hovde Dassow & Deets, was located in my own home city of Indianapolis. This proved a God-send. My first meeting with Nicholas Deets restored my hope. I appreciated Nick’s candor as he assessed my case. His confidence seemed quite genuine and I left feeling very encouraged… and counting on him. As he had advised me, I would need to be patient; these things take time. He was right. But in the end, facing a powerful multinational medical-technology company, Nick Deets prevailed as a most EFFECTIVE victor on my behalf. By his skill, resources, and experience Nick made particular winning moves… and I was amazed at what he delivered! My settlement exceeded my most hopeful expectation!

    I am truly grateful to Nick Deets, who proved himself to be a highly capable, trustworthy, outstanding attorney. This is an exceptional law firm.

  • "Highly recommend Mr. Deets & would suggest that you consult with him first!"
    I have had 2 fairly significant legal issues in the past few years and Nick Deets has represented me and a family member very professionally and thoroughly. Sometimes as a client we have preconceived feelings about our legal issues but Mr. Deets helped us sort through the emotions versus the legal issues and in the first case, he helped my family member out tremendously from a legal perspective and we had great results from his efforts. Not only did Mr. Deets give us great legal counsel and we had great outcomes, he personally assisted our family members receiving additional assistance in dealing with a very sensitive matter. Mr. Deets is a wonderful communicator but as a good lawyer must, he has to and must be frank with you about your legal case. If you want a great lawyer that is going to help you legally and not waste your time by telling you what you want to hear, then this law firm is the one you should select.

    The second case that Mr. Deets assisted me within a personal injury case for me. Because of his reputation and our great relationship, I asked him for assistance with a personal injury case for myself. Mr. Deets is co-counsel on an out-of-state issue and because of his reputation, he referred me to a highly respected and successful attorney out of state. The case has yet to settle but once again Mr. Deets provided a great recommendation to me and he has helped me come to grips with the reality of my case and has been very helpful to me by answering questions I didn’t feel confident about asking my current attorney. Fortunately for me, they both concurred on my potential outcome and I feel my case is going to have a positive outcome for me.

    The other thing I like about this firm is that if they cannot help you or feel someone else can represent you in a more favorable manner then they will refer you to another firm. I like and highly recommend Mr. Deets and would suggest that you consult with him before making a final decision on the attorney you want to represent you.
