How Can You Receive Compensation After a Kentucky Rideshare Accident?
You may be able to recover compensation under the rideshare network’s insurance policy in certain circumstances. Those entitled to file a claim against the rideshare liability policy include:
- Passengers in the rideshare vehicle
- Drivers or passengers in a third-party vehicle, if the rideshare driver caused the crash
- Other road users who were hurt in the crash
Under 601 KAR 1:113(3), Kentucky requires transportation network companies (TNCs) to carry minimum insurance in case of car accidents. TNCs like Uber and Lyft meet the minimum state insurance requirements for accidents that occur while a driver is waiting for rides, providing:
- $50,000 in bodily injury liability coverage for a single person
- $100,000 for each accident
- $25,000 in property damage
The amounts vary depending on the driver’s work status at the time of the crash. For accidents that occur while the driver is in the middle of a ride request, rideshare companies offer a $1 million policy for bodily injury liability insurance and property damage.
The Rideshare Driver’s Status Will Impact Your Accident Claim
The coverage available to injured parties will vary based on three scenarios:
- The rideshare app was off (driver off duty): Injured parties will need to turn to their PIP coverage and/or file a claim against the at-fault driver’s liability insurance policy.
- The driver was signed Into the app and awaiting a ride request: If the rideshare driver does not have coverage that applies to the car crash, the rideshare company’s limited liability policy will cover damages for injured parties.
- The driver was en route to a passenger or transporting one: The Uber or Lyft rideshare liability insurance policy covers the accident for any damages.
When Someone Else Causes the Rideshare Accident
Not every rideshare driver causes a crash. Other drivers on the road may be at fault. If that was the case for you and you were hurt, a Lexington rideshare accident attorney at our firm can help you as well. You may be entitled to file an insurance claim against the at-fault third-party driver.
TNCs operating in Kentucky must also provide uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage for drivers involved in accidents caused by third parties who lack adequate car insurance (or in case of a hit-and-run). The state mandates transportation networks carry PIP and UM/UIM policies for drivers while they are waiting for a ride request or engaged in one.
