Why these cases are tricky
Which insurance pays after an Uber or Lyft accident in Texas?
Texas law ties rideshare coverage to what the driver was doing in the app at the moment of the crash. That’s why the trip records matter so much — and why we request them quickly.
App off
Generally only the driver’s personal auto policy applies.
App on, waiting for a ride
Lower contingent coverage from the rideshare company may apply.
Ride accepted or passenger on board
Texas requires much higher coverage — generally at least $1 million in liability coverage.

Rideshare FAQ
Rideshare accident FAQs
Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?
Rideshare drivers are usually classified as independent contractors, so claims typically go through the insurance policies involved. We’ll explain which apply to you.
I was a passenger. Do I have to prove fault?
Passengers are rarely at fault, but we still need to show which driver caused the crash and which policy covers it.
How long do I have?
Generally two years to file a lawsuit in Texas — but rideshare records and video should be requested much sooner.
