Uber/Lyft/rideshare accidents in Spartanburg can cause severe harm and leave you facing lasting pain, a damaged vehicle, and confusion about who is liable. You may be wondering whether the rideshare app, the driver, or another motorist is responsible and which insurance company to pursue for compensation.
After a collision, you may be trying to negotiate with insurance adjusters at the same time as scheduling medical appointments and arranging time away from work. Speaking with an experienced car accident attorney at KD Trial Lawyers could help you avoid missteps, protect important evidence, and decide how to proceed.
Rideshare collisions in Spartanburg often start with small decisions by your Lyft/Uber driver that increase risk on busy roads. They may be focused on the app rather than traffic, rushing to complete trips, or pushing through fatigue at the end of a long shift. Each of these choices could lead to behavior such as:
Such negligent driving could result in a crash with passengers in the vehicle or in nearby cars, pedestrians, and cyclists suffering injuries. A rideshare accident lawyer from our team could examine the sequence of events and identify all liable parties.
Navigating layers of insurance coverage is one of the most challenging aspects of pursuing a rideshare accident claim. Which policy applies often depends on the driver’s behavior at the moment of the collision and whether the app considered the driver to be on duty.
Different levels of liability coverage apply depending on whether the driver had the app on and was waiting for a ride request, had accepted a trip, or was carrying a passenger, where a higher level of coverage may be available through the rideshare company. In addition, there may be liability insurance for another at-fault driver as well as uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy.

Our attorneys are licensed in both North and South Carolina, so if your rideshare accident involves travel between the two states, we could evaluate how that affects your claim.
