In a rideshare accident, when the on-duty rideshare driver is the at-fault party, they will usually have insurance coverage through the rideshare company.
Tell the driver that you are injured. Take photos of all the vehicles involved in the wreck, as well as the driver’s licenses of all the people involved in the accident. Make sure that the police are called, give a statement to the police officer, and seek medical treatment if you need it.
The police report and any surveillance videos will be very helpful in proving negligence. This can include surveillance footage from nearby businesses or traffic cameras.

Louisiana’s comparative fault rule applies the same regardless of the type of accident, including rideshare accidents. If your rideshare driver’s vehicle is struck by another motorist, both of you can make a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance.
The driver’s recovery may be reduced by the percentage of fault they shared for the accident. However, as you were not driving the rideshare vehicle, you will not likely be found at fault, and your recovery will not be reduced as a result.
Personal injury attorneys are critical in rideshare accident cases because of how complex rideshare company insurance policies are. Personal injury attorneys will be able to determine which rideshare company is involved and what type of insurance policy is involved.
For example, a rideshare driver’s personal Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist Coverage policy won’t cover him when he’s driving for hire, so the rideshare driver may only be able to recover against the at-fault party. Depending on the company and the insurance policy involved, the rideshare driver may not be able to make an Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist claim with the rideshare company, either.
Due to these complexities and varying factors, it’s crucial to seek the help of experienced personal injury attorneys to navigate your rideshare accident case.
