Rideshare services have changed how people travel between neighborhoods, airports, and resort areas, but accidents involving these drivers introduce insurance questions that don't arise in typical car crash claims. Whether the driver was off-duty, waiting for a trip request, or actively carrying a passenger affects which insurance policy applies and how much coverage is available. This tiered coverage structure can result in disputes between the driver's personal insurer and the rideshare company's policy, leaving injured parties caught in the middle.
An attorney who handles these specific claims can determine which coverage applies to your situation and pursue the appropriate party for compensation. Passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians injured in these accidents all face slightly different claim considerations depending on their role in the incident. Because rideshare companies typically have substantial legal resources to minimize payouts, working with a lawyer who understands these cases gives injured individuals a stronger position when negotiating a fair settlement.
Richard Turbin, an attorney in Honolulu for over 37 years, was born in New York City, graduated from Cornell University, Magna Cum Laude, and Harvard Law School where he served as Editor and Author of the Harvard Civil Rights Law Review. Recently Richard Turbin was chosen a Traphagen Distinguished Alumni of Harvard Law School.
Over the past 45+ years I have been honored as a Honolulu injury lawyer, to represent literally thousands of victims of negligence in their efforts to obtain fair compensation for the harm done to them and their families. Insurance companies rarely treat unrepresented plaintiffs fairly so that representation by an experienced and well-respected attorney is strongly recommended.
