Uber and Lyft Accidents in Vermont

Rideshare crashes raise tricky insurance questions. Here is how Vermont passengers and drivers can protect themselves.

Whose Insurance Applies

In a rideshare crash, coverage depends on what the driver was doing: offline, waiting for a ride, or carrying a passenger. Rideshare companies carry sizable policies that apply during trips, but the layers can be confusing.

If You Are a Passenger

As a passenger you are almost never at fault, and you may have claims against the rideshare driver, another driver, or both. Get medical care and report the crash through the app and to police.

Sorting It Out

Overlapping policies make these claims complex. A review helps identify every source of recovery.
