Uber and Lyft are prevalent throughout Garden City, Georgia. Although widely assumed to be safe, rideshare car accidents do occur. If you suffered injuries in an accident due to a negligent Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek compensation for your medical expenses, wage loss, and pain and suffering.
Whether you suffered injuries as a pedestrian, passenger, or driver of another vehicle, our Garden City Uber and Lyft Rideshare accident lawyer from Bader Law Injury Lawyers can look over your case and help you pursue an appropriate financial settlement from the liable parties for your losses.
Our Garden City Uber and Lyft Rideshare Accident Lawyer Can Determine Liability in Your Rideshare Accident
Georgia law allows motor vehicle accident victims to seek compensation if their injuries happened because of someone else’s negligence. In rideshare accidents, the individual or company you can hold financially accountable for your losses depends on the driver’s status when the crash occurred.
For example:
- If the driver is not logged into their Lyft or Uber app during the time of the crash, then the driver’s personal auto insurance coverage will apply. Georgia law mandates all drivers to carry liability insurance with at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily injury liability, and $25,000 per accident in property damage liability.
- If the driver is logged into the app and is waiting for a ride request during the crash, then Lyft and Uber third-party liability insurance will apply. It includes $50,000 per person for bodily injury, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage.
- If the driver has accepted a ride request, is en route to pick up, or is transporting a passenger during the wreck, then Uber and Lyft’s $1 million insurance policy can be pursued for compensation.
Uber and Lyft consider their drivers “independent workers” instead of employees. But they may still be approached for compensation depending on whether the driver was on the app when the accident happened. We will investigate the driver’s status to determine the liable insurance policy that owes you compensation.

Let Our Garden City Uber and Lyft Rideshare Accident Attorney Explain the Total Value of Your Claim
You can recover a range of losses through the rideshare driver’s personal auto insurance or Uber and Lyft’s insurance policies. These include:
- Medical expenses: You can recover much of your accident-related medical expenses, such as hospital bills, prescription medications, image scans, prescription meds, travel expenses to and from your doctor’s appointments, surgery, and rehab. The type of injuries you have sustained will affect how much compensation you will recover under this category.
- Missed income: Some injuries may limit you from working for some time, which makes it challenging to pay bills and provide for yourself and your family. If you cannot return to work or must settle for a job that pays lower than your previous job, we can help you recover lost earnings.
- Pain and suffering: Injuries can cause pain and trauma, impacting all facets of your life. We can help you seek damages for depression, anxiety, PTSD, diminished life satisfaction, mental anguish, and other such losses.
