Ridesharing is a transportation service where individuals use a smartphone application to request a ride from a nearby driver. These drivers, who use their personal vehicles, are connected with passengers through the app’s platform, facilitating convenient and on-demand transportation. Ridesharing services such as Lyft and Uber have revolutionized urban and suburban mobility, offering an alternative to traditional taxis and public transportation by providing flexibility, affordability, and often a more personalized experience for both passengers and drivers. This model has gained widespread popularity globally, fundamentally transforming the way people commute and travel within cities and towns.

Getting in a rideshare accident is similar to any other accident. However, the insurance process may differ. Lyft’s insurance coverage depends on your driving status at the time of the accident.
If you’re online and waiting for a ride request, you will need to use your personal insurance in most cases. However, if you have accepted a ride request or have passengers in the car, Lyft’s insurance will handle the claim.
Uber also offers insurance coverage based on your online status. If you’re waiting for a ride request, Uber’s third-party insurance will likely cover at least $50,000 per person for injuries and $25,000 for property damage. And if you are on an active trip, the company offers at least $1,000,000 for property damage and injuries.
In Maine, you have up to six years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. While this may seem like ample time, you should take legal action quickly. Evidence becomes difficult to find as time passes. Worse, the court can dismiss your claim if you file after this deadline.
Don’t wait too long to file your personal injury claim. Work with Mann Law to take the first step towards compensation and closure. Our Maine rideshare accident lawyers will listen to your story, answer your questions, and explore your options—all at no cost.
