It varies depending on the circumstances of the accident and your injury. Contact an attorney to discuss the compensation you should expect following any Philadelphia ridesharing accident
Multiple factors can influence the compensation you receive, including:
- Did the driver have a passenger at the time of the accident? Both Uber and Lyft insurance provide much higher levels of coverage—up to $1,000,000—for individuals injured when the driver has a passenger in the vehicle (even if the person injured is not the passenger). If the driver did not have a passenger at the time of the accident, but still had the app on, coverage drops considerably.
- How many people suffered injuries in the accident? Rideshare insurance policies, like other auto insurance policies, offer maximum coverage amounts per accident as well as per individual. If more than two parties suffered severe injuries in the accident, it may influence the compensation each injured party can receive.
- What did your financial losses from the accident look like? Compensation after a rideshare accident should pay for many of your expenses related to the accident. An experienced Philadelphia ridesharing accident attorney has the skill and know-how to calculate the compensation you deserve under Pennsylvania law for your injuries.
