Rideshare Accidents

Injured in a Rideshare Accident?

Rideshare services are now part of everyday travel across Northeastern Pennsylvania and the entire country. But with that convenience comes risk. Rideshare drivers often rely on navigation apps, interact with their phones while driving, rush to accept fares, and spend long hours on the road. These factors increase the likelihood of serious crashes caused by distraction, fatigue, and unsafe driving decisions.

​

Rideshare accident claims are more complex than traditional car accident cases. Liability is not always clear, and multiple insurance policies may apply. Coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash, whether they were offline, in open/active status, waiting for a ride, or actively transporting a passenger. Each phase triggers different levels of insurance, and companies often fight to limit their exposure.

​

These cases also involve large corporate defendants with significant legal resources. Despite the fact that Rideshare drivers are subject to the control of Rideshare companies and operate as employees, Rideshare companies classify drivers as independent contractors and often attempt to distance themselves from responsibility. Proving liability requires a deep understanding of how these companies operate, how their insurance policies apply, and how to access critical digital evidence.
