    Is This Your Situation?

    This page is for rideshare passengers, drivers, and other motorists or pedestrians hurt by an app-based rideshare vehicle anywhere in Georgia, regardless of which platform was involved.

    Overview

    Every major rideshare accident claim comes down to the same question: was the driver offline, waiting for a match, or on a trip? That answer decides whether the company's commercial policy, the driver's personal insurance, or both apply.

    Liability Considerations

    Rideshare insurance coverage depends on the driver's app status at the time of the crash, regardless of which platform was involved. We obtain trip data to establish exactly which coverage tier applies and pursue every available policy on your behalf.

    4. Get insurance information from everyone involved

    Deadlines and Legal Framework

    Rideshare companies generally provide layered insurance coverage that scales with the driver's app activity — minimal coverage when waiting for a ride request, and up to $1 million once a passenger is matched or being transported. Establishing that status is central to any rideshare claim.

    Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

    We see these missteps regularly in Chamblee uber and lyft accidents cases. Avoiding them protects your claim.

    1. Not saving your ride receipt or app screenshots
    2. Giving a recorded statement before calling us
    3. Assuming only one insurance policy applies
    4. Delaying medical treatment
