When you’re hurt in a rideshare accident, who’s at fault? The answer is that liability for rideshare accidents can be very tricky. Drivers must carry special insurance. Depending on the facts, the driver may be held liable through their insurance.
But what about the rideshare company? Rideshare companies do have liability insurance policies to pay the claims of injured victims. Yet, they often bat the claim back to the driver’s insurance. They may also do everything they can to minimize the injury claim. Simply put, while they may very well be liable, they’ll do everything they can to get out of properly paying a claim for injuries or property damage. That is why speaking with a San Antonio Uber/Lyft accident lawyer is crucial.
A ridesharing accident in San Antonio and the surrounding area can be difficult for injury victims to manage on their own. Between fighting with more than one insurance company, time off work, and medical bills, this can be a very stressful time.
