Los Angeles police won't even respond anymore unless you need an ambulance.

Your “consultation” will consist of talking to an non-Lawyer administrative intake person, who will forward you retainer documents to sign without ever even discussing the facts and circumstances with a qualified lawyer.

What happens if I have an accident and I’m driving for Uber, my insurance will not pay for any damages. There must be an insurance that will just cover Uber.

Explain drivers crashed on the way to pickup but nobody was in the car. Crash w an object because got distracted with the lyft app, NEW JERSEY 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 please help the car was totaled by travelers insurance

What if it's not a serious accident, should you still call the police?

Really good video. Really glad you guys made it. God forbid I ever have to rely on this advice, but better safe than sorry!

When using a Lyft express rental. If the accident wasn't you and the driver is a hit and run, but you have a witness. How long is the process? I wasn't hurt and no passenger was in my car.

[horizontoday]

The answer I was hoping for wasn’t given. I was rear ended in a hit and run and would like to know if Lyft will pay me for the damages to my vehicle?

Police doesn't come unless someone is injured.

Legal ride share, I was involved in a accident in Florida while riding as a passenger with Lyft. The car I was riding in was rear ended to the point it did a 360 and the guy started running, once my Lyft driver realized it he started persuading him and taking me on a wild car chase while I’m inside and really hurt, he finally caught up to the guy police shows up and ambulance. Long story short running party didn’t have insurance, I hired a law firm from Miami “Big Mistake” it’s been over 2 years nothing has been done, I for seriously hurt was outta work for 3 months and physical therapy no outcome yet. Please let me know if you can help.

Portland, OR Police don't do traffic account incident reports unless someone is drunk or someone is seriously hurt. (for real)

[infernalmonolizer]

what if i didnt report uber to insurance agencies?

[andre]

I like to add something when give you insurance information you can give the one that is on the app not necessary to involve personal insurance they will denied any way.

[blackmamba]

This was so useless... I jus think Lyft and uber insurance dont cover their drivers whether you in period 1 and 2. Especially if at fault doesnt have any insurance the people you stay with who has insurance has to have uninsured motorist coverage other wise you have no case... lawyers want tell you what you need to know and how I know I been in 3 no at faults in the last 9 months... I don't really trust lawyers or the rideshare company's to tell you the truth... lawyers just want explain it and Lyft insurance want cover you unless you are a rider... it's a sad thing...

[-FOOTS]

Well that's information for anyone getting into a accident in the first place... But what to do as a Uber or Lyft driver. Do you report it to Uber first or would that lock you into using their insurance. But if you have Rideshare coverage on your insurance do you call them first. That's what I was hoping to hear about
