Common Causes

  • Rideshare drivers distracted by the navigation app on their phone
  • Drivers unfamiliar with the area making sudden stops or turns
  • Fatigue from driving long shifts without adequate rest
  • Unsafe pickups and dropoffs in traffic lanes or intersections
  • Speeding to complete more rides and earn higher fares
  • Third party drivers colliding with rideshare vehicles

Typical Injuries

  • Whiplash and neck strains from rear end collisions
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
  • Back injuries and herniated discs
  • Broken wrists and arms from bracing on impact
  • Soft tissue injuries throughout the body
  • Emotional distress and post traumatic stress

How We Prove Liability

Rideshare accident claims involve multiple layers of insurance depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting a rider. Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage when a passenger is in the vehicle, but coverage is lower during other app stages. Determining which insurance policy applies requires a careful analysis of the driver app status at the time of the crash.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas Insurance Code Chapter 1954, known as the Texas Transportation Network Company Act, requires rideshare companies to maintain specific insurance coverage levels for each phase of driver activity. When a driver is transporting a passenger, the company must carry at least $1 million in combined single limit coverage. Texas law treats rideshare drivers as independent contractors, but the companies remain responsible for ensuring minimum insurance requirements are met.
