Common Uber and Lyft Accident Injuries

Whether someone rear-ends you on I-90 or sideswiped on Euclid Avenue, a rideshare passenger or driver is exposed to the same risks as any Cleveland car wreck.

Some typical car accident injuries include:

As a result, you may be in pain, unable to work, and struggling with significant financial strain. An Uber or Lyft accident lawyer can help you get medical treatment and recover compensation for your losses.

Distracted Driving and Rideshare Companies

Rideshares in Ohio have other characteristics that make them more prone to accidents.

Uber and Lyft both require drivers to operate software while driving. They also navigate with GPS and communicate with passengers. Although Ohio has distracted driving laws, these actions can result in drivers taking their eyes off the road.

This, combined with driving in unfamiliar areas and meeting unknown passengers, increase the likelihood of an Uber and Lyft accident.

Compensation After an Uber or Lyft Accident in Cleveland

Rideshare drivers are not only required to have personal insurance but additional insurance coverage as well. In states like Ohio, Uber and Lyft drivers must have excess liability coverage of $1 million per incident. The level of coverage changes according to the status of the driver.

When the driver has the app turned on, a lower level of coverage applies, but when the driver accepts a fare, the level increases. These level changes can lead to complications and disputes with insurance companies.

Cleveland Uber & Lyft Accident FAQs

Who’s liable after an Uber or Lyft crash in Cleveland?

It depends on who caused the accident and whether the rideshare driver was on duty. If the Uber or Lyft driver caused the crash while using the app, both their personal and rideshare company insurance may apply. If another driver was at fault, their insurer is usually responsible. KNR will assess fault and pursue the appropriate claim.

Does Uber or Lyft insurance cover passengers in Cleveland?

Yes. If you’re hurt as a passenger during an active trip, Uber and Lyft typically provide up to $1 million in liability coverage. But getting compensated isn’t always easy. Our Cleveland rideshare accident attorneys know how to deal with these companies and push for the maximum recovery.

What if I was hit by an Uber or Lyft while walking in Cleveland?

If you were hit as a pedestrian—whether in Ohio City, near Playhouse Square, or by the West Side Market—the driver’s status in the app will determine what insurance applies. KNR will help determine coverage and fight for your damages.

Can I file a claim if I was driving for Uber or Lyft and got hit in Cleveland?

Absolutely. If you were driving for a rideshare company and someone else caused the crash, their insurer should cover your losses. If they’re uninsured, Uber or Lyft’s backup insurance may kick in. KNR can guide you through every step and protect your rights as a Cleveland rideshare driver.

What’s the deadline to file a rideshare accident claim in Ohio?

In Ohio, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Because rideshare accidents often involve multiple parties and insurers, it’s best to act quickly and let KNR start building your case.

Will my Cleveland Uber or Lyft case go to trial?

Many rideshare claims are settled before trial. But if Uber, Lyft, or an insurance company refuses to pay what you deserve, our Cleveland trial lawyers won’t hesitate to take your case to court and fight for justice in Cuyahoga County.

How much does a Cleveland Uber & Lyft accident lawyer cost?

KNR handles Uber and Lyft injury cases on a contingency basis. That means no upfront cost to you—we only get paid if we win compensation through a settlement or verdict.
