Nevada Rideshare Accident Attorney Las Vegas
Las Vegas is one of the highest-volume rideshare markets in the country, and Uber and Lyft accidents are a growing source of personal injury claims throughout Clark County. Rideshare accident cases involve complex insurance coverage questions because both Uber and Lyft maintain tiered insurance policies whose coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident — whether the app was off, whether the driver was waiting for a ride request, whether the driver had accepted a request and was en route to pick up a passenger, or whether the driver was actively transporting a passenger. Marathon Law Group’s Las Vegas personal injury attorneys understand rideshare insurance coverage structures and pursue maximum compensation regardless of which coverage tier applies.
Nevada Rideshare Insurance Coverage — Period 1, 2, and 3 Explained
When a rideshare driver’s app is off, only the driver’s personal auto insurance applies — and most personal policies exclude commercial activity. When the app is on but no ride is accepted (Period 1), Uber and Lyft provide limited liability coverage of $50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident/$25,000 property damage. Once a ride is accepted and the driver is en route (Period 2) or actively transporting a passenger (Period 3), Uber and Lyft’s $1 million liability policy applies. Understanding which period was active at the time of your accident is critical to identifying which insurer to pursue and for how much. Marathon Law Group obtains Uber/Lyft trip records to establish driver status at the moment of impact.
Injuries to Passengers, Other Drivers, and Pedestrians in Nevada Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accident victims include passengers in the Uber/Lyft vehicle, occupants of other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians struck by rideshare drivers. The identity of the injured party affects which insurance coverage tier applies and which legal strategy is most effective. Marathon Law Group has handled rideshare accident cases from all angles and pursues the full $1 million policy when applicable, as well as the rideshare driver’s personal insurance and any third-party coverage when multiple parties contributed to the accident.
