Uber and Lyft have changed the way people travel across Pennsylvania. Whether someone is catching a ride in Harrisburg, leaving an event in Pittsburgh, getting across town in Lancaster, or getting home safely in King of Prussia, rideshare services help thousands of people every day. They’re convenient, widely available, and often feel like the safer choice.
But rideshare crashes still happen—and when they do, the insurance situation can be confusing. You may be dealing with the rideshare company, the driver’s personal insurance, your own policy, and possibly another driver’s insurer. All of them will try to protect themselves first. Our Pennsylvania rideshare accident lawyers help both passengers and drivers across the state and Maryland. We handle every case directly and fight to get injured people the compensation they need. If you can’t travel, we’ll come to you.
Understanding Rideshare Accidents Across Pennsylvania
Rideshare crashes are different from typical car accidents. Drivers are often rushing to a pickup, juggling the app, or navigating busy streets. Other drivers may not expect an Uber or Lyft to stop suddenly or make a last-minute turn, which leads to collisions.
Passengers may assume the rideshare company will take care of everything, but that isn’t always the case. Companies often aim to minimize payments and avoid full responsibility. Drivers have their own insurance, but it may not cover all damages. That’s why having a Pennsylvania rideshare accident attorney is so important.
Injuries from rideshare accidents can range from minor whiplash to broken bones, head injuries, or even long-term back problems. Emotional stress, missed work, and medical bills can pile up quickly. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the sooner you can protect your rights and begin recovery.
Insurance and Coverage in Uber and Lyft Crashes
One of the trickiest parts of a rideshare accident is knowing which insurance applies. Freeburn Law helps clients understand the rules and fights to ensure the correct coverage is applied. Insurance coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time:
-
If the driver wasn’t logged into the app, their personal insurance is primary.
-
If the driver was logged in but waiting for a ride request, Uber and Lyft provide limited coverage.
-
When the driver is en route to pick up or transporting a passenger, the rideshare company provides higher liability coverage, sometimes up to $1 million.
Insurance companies will often try to argue the driver was in a different “phase” to avoid paying. We dig into the facts, examine evidence, and make sure your claim reflects what really happened.
