If you you a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft and you are involved in a car accident, you may wonder who is at fault, who is liable, and what to do next. Much like other car wrecks, liability in a Lyft or Uber accident is entirely dependent on which driver caused the accident, it could be the Lyft driver or the other vehicle involved in the wreck.

Of course, if your Lyft driver is not at-fault for the accident, you would pursue a claim against the other driver’s insurance coverage.
