Answers To Common Questions in Mobile

Who pays after an Uber or Lyft crash? Coverage changes with app status. If the app is off, the driver’s personal policy is primary. If the app is on without a ride, limited platform coverage may apply. If a ride is accepted, higher limits can be in play. We verify status quickly to prevent delays.

What should I do after treatment? Save discharge papers, photos, and the rideshare receipt. Avoid posting about the crash. Call us to start preservation and confirm the correct carriers. For bus connections to appointments, check Wave Transit routes and schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a rideshare injury claim in Mobile

Alabama law sets strict timelines for personal injury claims. Many claims must be filed within a two-year period. Some notice rules can be shorter when public entities are involved. Contact a lawyer promptly so evidence is preserved and the calendar is managed while you focus on recovery.

I was a passenger when my Uber was rear-ended. Whose insurance applies

We open claims with the at-fault driver’s insurer and evaluate rideshare platform coverage based on app status. We also review medical payments, health insurance liens, and uninsured motorist coverage, ensuring all benefits are accounted for and coordinated.

The rideshare driver’s app was on, but no ride was accepted. Are limits different

Yes. When a driver is available but has not accepted a ride, platform coverage may be lower than when a trip is accepted. We verify timestamps, GPS, and trip logs to confirm which policy applies and prevent finger-pointing from slowing down your claim.

What if the other driver left the scene or had no insurance

We explore uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage and any applicable platform protections. We also check nearby cameras and vehicle data to help identify the driver when possible. Quick action increases the likelihood that footage and witnesses can be identified.

Will I have to go to court?

Many claims resolve without a trial. If a lawsuit is necessary, we prepare you for each step and keep you informed about schedules. When testimony is required, we practice key points so you feel ready and supported throughout the process.
