Bucks County Uber and Lyft Accident Attorney
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have transformed transportation across Bucks County, offering convenience and accessibility. Unfortunately, with this increase in rideshare traffic comes a rise in serious accidents. Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or another driver involved in a collision with a rideshare vehicle, you may face complex insurance and liability challenges.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Bucks County Uber and Lyft accident attorneys specialize in helping victims of rideshare crashes secure the compensation they deserve. We understand the unique legal issues involved in these cases and fight aggressively against large corporate insurers to protect your rights.
Understanding Rideshare Liability in Pennsylvania
Rideshare accidents differ significantly from standard car crashes. Determining who is responsible depends on whether the driver was logged into the rideshare app, waiting for a passenger, or actively transporting one.
Uber and Lyft provide liability coverage for their drivers — but the amount depends on the driver’s status:
- App Off: Only the driver’s personal insurance applies.
- App On, Waiting for Ride: Limited coverage (typically $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident).
- Passenger in Vehicle or En Route: Full $1 million rideshare insurance policy applies.
Navigating these insurance layers can be complex — but our attorneys have the experience to uncover every potential source of compensation.
Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents
Many Uber and Lyft accidents occur due to negligence or distraction. Common causes include:
- Distracted driving (texting, navigation apps, passenger interaction)
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Driver fatigue from long shifts
- Unsafe pick-up or drop-off locations
- Poor vehicle maintenance
These accidents can result in catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, fractures, and emotional trauma.
