You have access to the full $1M liability policy during your trip. And you can pursue claims against multiple parties simultaneously — the rideshare driver, the platform, and any other at-fault drivers. Our attorneys have recovered millions for injured passengers in Chicago.

Liability

Who Is Responsible?

Your Rideshare Driver

If your driver caused the accident through negligent driving, they are liable — and their $1M policy covers your injuries.

Uber or Lyft (Platform)

Directly liable if the driver had a disqualifying history, prior complaints, or if the platform's own negligence contributed to the accident.

Another Driver

If another driver caused the crash, you can pursue their insurance. Uber/Lyft's $1M UM/UIM coverage also applies if the other driver is uninsured.

Multiple Parties

As a passenger, you can pursue claims against all liable parties simultaneously — maximizing your total recovery.

Insurance

Insurance Coverage Breakdown

During Your Trip (Period 3)

$1,000,000 primary liability coverage from Uber or Lyft. This is the strongest coverage tier and applies from the moment you enter the vehicle until you exit.

UM/UIM Coverage

$1,000,000 uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Applies if another driver hit your rideshare vehicle and has no insurance or insufficient coverage.

At-Fault Driver's Insurance

If another driver caused the crash, their personal auto insurance is also available. An attorney coordinates all claims to maximize total recovery.
