Nevada Rideshare Accident Attorney Las Vegas
Las Vegas is one of the busiest rideshare markets in the country, with thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers operating on the Strip, at McCarran/Harry Reid International Airport, and throughout Clark County. When rideshare accidents happen — whether you are a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian — the insurance situation is more complex than a standard car accident because multiple insurance policies may apply depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Marathon Law Group’s Las Vegas personal injury attorneys handle rideshare accident claims and know exactly how to navigate Uber’s and Lyft’s multi-layered insurance systems to maximize recovery.
Understanding Uber and Lyft Insurance Coverage in Nevada
Rideshare companies provide different levels of insurance depending on driver app status. When the app is off, only the driver’s personal auto insurance applies. When the app is on but no ride is accepted, Uber and Lyft provide contingent liability coverage — $50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident bodily injury. When a ride is accepted or a passenger is in the vehicle, Uber and Lyft provide $1,000,000 in liability coverage plus uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This tiered structure means the timing of the accident relative to the driver’s app status is critical to determining which coverage applies. Marathon Law Group investigates and preserves this evidence immediately after rideshare accidents.
Claims by Rideshare Passengers, Other Drivers, and Pedestrians
Rideshare passengers injured in accidents are typically entitled to pursue the full $1 million liability policy regardless of whether their driver or another driver caused the crash. Other drivers and pedestrians injured by rideshare drivers during active trips also have access to the $1 million policy. Marathon Law Group pursues claims against all applicable policies and fights Uber’s and Lyft’s claims administrators who routinely contest liability and injury severity.
