Rideshare crashes — whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian — involve confusing layers of insurance coverage that change depending on what the Uber or Lyft driver was doing at the moment of the crash. Injury Claim Team connects injured Idahoans with attorneys who know how to access the right coverage.
How Rideshare Insurance Works
Coverage depends on the driver’s status: offline, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger. When the app is on and a ride is in progress, Uber and Lyft carry up to $1 million in liability coverage — but accessing it requires proving the driver’s status and fighting the company’s insurer.
Who Is Liable
Liability may rest with the rideshare driver, another motorist, or both. An attorney identifies every responsible party and every applicable policy to maximize your recovery.
Protecting Passengers
As an injured passenger, you are almost never at fault and have strong claims. We connect you with lawyers who make sure the rideshare company’s coverage actually pays.

Why Choose Injury Claim Team for Your Idaho Case
Injury Claim Team connects injured Idahoans with experienced personal injury attorneys who understand Idaho law and local courts. Idaho gives most injury victims two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (Idaho Code § 5-219). Idaho also follows a modified comparative negligence rule (Idaho Code § 6-801): you can recover as long as you are less than 50% at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share of blame. A noneconomic-damages cap applies in many cases (Idaho Code § 6-1603), though it does not apply where the harm resulted from reckless conduct or a felony. Our network attorneys handle the insurance companies so you can focus on healing — and you pay nothing unless they win.
