Rideshare driver\u2019s insurance on their personal vehicles only covers when the car is a personal vehicle and when the car is carrying people for a charge, the liability for injuries to the passengers becomes a grey area. You may need to consider a personal injury attorney in Charleston to handle your injury claim when involved in a ride for hire accident. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Uber Drivers and Insurance<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are an Uber Driver and you don\u2019t want to be held personally liable for paying for your rider\u2019s injuries, you need to consider insurance companies that have coverage plans for commercial use of personal vehicles. Uber\u2019s insurance companies are notorious for avoiding responsibility and denying claims for your riders. Uber also offers extended insurance protections for drivers to protect drivers even when they don\u2019t have a passenger in tow. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Riders and Insurance<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re riding in an Uber or Lyft and the driver is involved in an accident, no matter whose fault it seems to be, medical professionals should see you to assess your injuries. Even if you don\u2019t believe you are hurt, delaying medical treatment could make your potential injuries worse. Don\u2019t worry about your insurance or the driver\u2019s insurance, let your personal injury attorney in Charleston handle all of your paperwork and compensation claims while you focus on getting healthy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the rideshare program\u2019s insurance company or the driver\u2019s insurance company calls you wanting information, refer them to your personal injury attorney in Charleston. Never answer any questions yourself or confirm or deny details of your injuries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve recently been in an auto accident while riding in an Uber or Lyft, call the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peterdavidbrown.com\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Law Offices of Peter David Brown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to discuss your entitlement to compensation 843-971-0099. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personal Injury Attorney Charleston | What Happens When Riders are Injured in an Uber?
