An Allen Rideshare Accident Lawyer Can Handle the Insurance Companies for You
One of the first steps to seeking compensation after a rideshare accident is determining the liable party. This can get complicated quickly, so our Allen rideshare accident attorneys will investigate your case to establish the liability of another party. A party could be held liable if they:
- Operated a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Ignored traffic rules
- Drove recklessly by speeding or driving distracted
- Failed to properly maintain their vehicle
Multiple parties could be involved in your accident case. The rideshare driver could be at fault. Even a third party, such as another motorist, could share liability. We need to identify the responsible party so we know which insurance policy applies to your case.
The insurance coverage that may apply to your case can differ depending on whether or not the rideshare driver was working during the time of the accident.
If the Rideshare App Is Turned Off
Rideshare drivers may have their apps turned off for a variety of reasons. Typically, when the driver is not logged into the app, they are considered off-duty. If an accident occurs when the rideshare app is turned off, the driver’s personal auto insurance policy would apply.
If the Driver Is Waiting to Receive a Ride Request
If the driver has the rideshare app on and is waiting to match up with a fare, the rideshare company’s insurance policy would apply up to these limits:
- $50,000/person for bodily injury
- $100,000/accident for bodily injury
- $25,000/accident for property damage
Uber or Lyft’s insurance policy may provide such coverage if a rideshare driver’s personal insurance does not apply.
If the Driver Is En Route to Pick Up a Passenger or Has a Passenger
If the rideshare driver already has a passenger or is en route to pick one up, a rideshare company will usually provide $1,000,000 in third-party liability coverage.
Our Allen rideshare accident attorneys can help you avoid having your case undervalued by an insurer. They can provide evidence of their policyholder’s liability and seek fair compensation for your accident-related losses.

Our Allen Rideshare Accident Team Can Take Legal Action to Protect Your Rights
In Texas, you have a limited time to take legal action for a rideshare accident. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 generally allows victims two years from the date of their accidents to file a personal injury lawsuit.
If your loved one passed away in an Allen rideshare accident, you may file a wrongful death lawsuit. The statute of limitations gives you two years to get a wrongful death lawsuit filed.
Our team can help you abide by these deadlines and make sure you understand the statute that applies to your case. We will keep an eye on the statute of limitations while we negotiate for fair compensation with an insurer. This way, we can protect your right to take legal action against a liable party.
