❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Does it matter which rideshare app was involved in my accident?
The core legal issues are similar across platforms, though each company structures its insurance tiers slightly differently. We tailor our investigation to the specific app involved.
2What if I don't know whether the driver was logged into the app?
We can request that information directly from the rideshare company as part of our investigation.
3I was hit by a rideshare vehicle as a pedestrian or another driver — do I have a claim?
Yes, if negligence is proven. Depending on the driver’s app status, the rideshare company’s insurance, the driver’s personal policy, or both may apply.
⚖️ Legal Information
If a rideshare driver hit you as a third party, you’re not limited to their personal insurance — the company’s commercial coverage may apply. Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) applies to most claims, regardless of which app was involved.
Whether you were a passenger in the back seat, another driver, or a pedestrian, rideshare crashes involve insurance layers most people never have to think about — until they need them.
