How do you determine which insurance policy applies after a rideshare accident?

App data, timestamps, and trip records can help establish whether the driver was offline, waiting for a request, or actively transporting a passenger. That information may determine which policy applies and how much coverage is available.

Parrish and Goodman can investigate the circumstances of the crash and help you understand where your claim stands.

What happens when an Uber driver is logged in but has not accepted a passenger?

This period may provide limited rideshare coverage, often around $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident. However, that coverage may be contingent on the driver’s personal insurance first denying the claim.

The result can be a dispute between two insurers, with each attempting to place responsibility on the other. That is why the driver’s exact app status matters.

Does an Uber driver’s personal insurance apply when they are not using the app?

It may. When a driver is offline and not actively working, the crash is generally treated like an ordinary car accident. Instead of accessing Uber or Lyft’s larger commercial policy, the injured person may have to rely on the driver’s personal coverage.

That can dramatically change how much compensation is available, even though the person who caused the accident drives for a rideshare company.

Can two people hit by the same Uber driver have completely different case outcomes?

Yes. The amount of insurance coverage available may depend on whether the driver was logged into the app and what they were doing at the time of the crash. One claim could involve up to $1 million in rideshare coverage, while another may be limited to the driver’s personal insurance.

If you were injured by an Uber or Lyft driver, do not assume the company’s policy automatically applies. The details surrounding the driver’s app activity can significantly affect the claim.

Can a few seconds determine whether an Uber accident is covered by a $1 million policy?

Yes. The amount of insurance available may depend on whether the driver was offline, logged into the app and waiting for a request, or already on an active trip.

If the driver was not using the app, the accident may be handled like an ordinary car crash through the driver’s personal insurance. If the app was on but no ride had been accepted, limited rideshare coverage may apply. Once a trip has been accepted, a significantly larger policy may become available.

That is why app data, timestamps, and trip records can be so important. Two people involved in nearly identical crashes could have very different claims based on what the driver was doing moments before impact.

Attorney Megan Shaw of Parrish and Goodman explains how rideshare insurance works and why you should never assume Uber or Lyft automatically covers an accident.

The truck driver may have caused the crash, but that doesn't mean the trucking company will immediately accept responsibility.

In this case, the insurance company began investigating right away, questioned the injuries, challenged what happened, and made a low settlement offer.

That's what makes truck accident cases different—and why thorough investigation matters.

Winning a truck accident case isn't just about proving who caused the crash.

It's about proving the full impact of the injuries, the medical treatment required, the lost income, and the challenges a victim may face long after the accident is over.

That's where strong evidence and experienced advocacy matter most.

Truck accident claims are different from ordinary car accident cases.

You're not just dealing with a driver. You're often dealing with a trucking company, insurance adjusters, investigators, and attorneys whose job is to protect the company's bottom line.

That's why having someone in your corner matters.

A truck accident can change more than your day—it can change your ability to work, pay your bills, and move forward with your life.

When Jim was forced off the road by a commercial truck, he was left dealing with serious injuries, medical expenses, and an insurance offer that fell far short of what he needed. After investigating the crash, reviewing truck data, and building the case, we secured compensation that covered his medical treatment, lost income, and recovery.

If you've been injured in a truck accident, getting the right legal support early can make all the difference.

After a truck accident, many people assume the insurance company will do the right thing if the truck driver was clearly at fault.

Unfortunately, that's not always what happens.

In this real case, a driver suffered serious injuries after a commercial truck forced him off the road. While he focused on medical treatment and recovery, the trucking company immediately deployed its insurance team and legal resources to challenge the claim and minimize its value.

Truck accident cases often involve complex investigations, electronic truck data, driver records, safety compliance issues, and long-term injury evaluations. That's why having the right legal team can make a major difference.

Watch this case study to learn how truck accident claims are investigated and what it takes to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term recovery.
