Who Is Liable in a Duluth Rideshare Accident?
Liability in a rideshare accident case can be complex. Our lawyers know how this works with rideshare drivers. It depends greatly on the circumstances and the cause of the accident. Someone can suffer injuries in several ways in a rideshare accident, such as:
- A rideshare driver hitting their vehicle
- The driver striking them as a pedestrian
- Being a passenger in the rideshare vehicle
In any of these situations, the rideshare driver might be liable for what occurred. We may hold them accountable if we can show their negligence. This requires documenting that they caused the crash and your injuries.
Lyft and Uber provide insurance coverage for their drivers when they use the app, including:
- A contingent policy when they are on the app but not matched with a rider
- A $1 million liability policy that takes effect as soon as they match with a rider
We file claims for our clients based on these policies in rideshare crashes. If the driver is not using the app, their personal auto liability policy should cover the accident damages.

Damages Recoverable in a Duluth Rideshare Accident Case
Worrying about how you will pay your bills and cover your losses following a crash is natural. At the same time, you likely want to hold the at-fault party accountable. The best way to do this is to make them legally responsible for the expenses and losses you experienced as a result.
Our Duluth Uber and Lyft accident lawyers can help you identify these recoverable damages and demand that the insurance company pays them. The amount differs from case to case, but there are some expenses and losses we often seek for our clients, such as:
- Medical bills and treatment-related expenses
- Future care and support needs
- Lost income
- Reduced ability to work and earn
- Pain and suffering
Our Duluth Personal Injury Lawyers Handle Wrongful Death Cases
Under Georgia’s wrongful death act, O.C.G.A § 51-4, immediate family members may receive compensation after a loved one’s death. The related laws allow the recovery of money equal to the “full value of the life of the deceased.”
In other words, your family could recover money for:
- Lost income your loved one would have earned
- The benefits your loved one provided
- The services they provided for the family and home
- Lost companionship and other intangible damages
You may also be eligible to recover additional expenses and losses for the estate, such as funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, and other related costs and losses. Our Duluth rideshare accident attorneys represent families in these claims and lawsuits, seeking justice for them and their loved ones. We can discuss your case with you for free today.

Our Duluth Rideshare Accident Attorneys Fight for Fair Compensation for Clients
When we represent a rideshare accident victim in Duluth, our attorneys calculate a fair settlement range based on their medical bills, estimated future care costs, and noneconomic losses. We’ll then demand the rideshare company’s insurer or another insurer representing the at-fault driver pay an appropriate settlement amount.
If negotiations do not result in fair compensation or there is another reason we believe a lawsuit is necessary, we will sue the driver, rideshare company, or another liable party. Under O.C.G.A. § 33-6-34, you do not have to accept a settlement offer that does not compensate you appropriately.
Your Duluth rideshare accident lawyer generally has up to two years to begin a lawsuit under O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. Missing this deadline could mean losing the right to sue the liable parties, although exceptions exist. Your attorney will ensure you meet this and all other applicable deadlines, as long as we know about your case in time.
