Uber and Lyft Accidents
Personal injury and property loss claims related to Uber and Lyft are particularly complex. If you were injured as a passenger during an Uber or Lyft ride, you will be covered by their commercial liability coverage.
Accidents in Rideshare: How We Help You Navigate Your Rights
​
At JKT and Loing, we understand that if another driver was responsible for your accident, you can file a claim against them. However, if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, Uber and Lyft have policies that may cover damages following an accident, and we are here to guide you through that process. The damages available to victims in Uber and Lyft accidents may include emotional distress, lost wages, medical bills, loss of consortium, physical therapy, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering. We are committed to making sure you understand all your rights and the compensation you may be entitled to. If you’ve been injured in an Uber or Lyft accident, contacting us immediately ensures that we can take action to protect your interests and help you pursue what is rightfully yours.

Driver Stages, Evidence, and Pursuing Your Claim
​
At JKT and Loing, we know that your ability to claim compensation depends heavily on your driver status at the time of the accident. Rideshare companies generally categorize drivers into stages: in the first stage, you are connected to the app but have no passengers; the company is responsible for personal injury and property damage unless you are at fault. In the second stage, you have received a ride request, even if you haven’t picked up the passenger, which can include up to $1 million in liability coverage. In the third stage, if a passenger is in your car, you may also be eligible for liability coverage. We understand that rideshare companies may try to undermine your claim, often by making the accident appear as if it was your fault, reducing the compensation they owe. That’s why we gather all relevant evidence: traffic camera footage, witness statements, passenger interviews, medical records, and in intricate cases, forensic analyses and computer-based crash simulations admissible in court. Our team works closely with medical professionals to assess the extent of your injuries and the prospects for recovery. By taking these steps, JKT and Loing fight to ensure that you receive a fair and adequate settlement—or victory at trial—without letting billion-dollar companies bully you. If you’ve been seriously injured while driving for a rideshare company, don’t wait: call JKT Law Inc. today for a free consultation and let us fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
