As incredibly wealthy entities, Uber and Lyft have the potential to lose millions of dollars in personal injury claims. Consequently, they are notoriously known for disputing claims and denying coverage.

They use countless loopholes in an attempt to get out of paying settlements:

• Uber and Lyft classify their drivers not as “employees,” but as “independent contractors.” By doing so, they are deflecting liability for any injuries that resulted in the accident. Nevertheless, commercial liability insurance covers passengers by up to $1 million per ride.
• Uber and Lyft define themselves as technology providers, not transportation companies or car services, which, again, allows them to deflect blame onto their drivers.
• Uber and Lyft make it almost impossible for victims to reach them by phone. While they offer email services and social media servers, they tend to be very undependable.

All of the ploys used by wealthy rideshare companies, therefore, make it very difficult for victims to seek compensation on their own—experienced attorneys are often needed.
