Can I recover compensation if I was injured in an Uber or Lyft accident in Utah?

Yes. Uber and Lyft both carry commercial liability insurance that applies when their drivers are actively using the app. The coverage amount depends on the driver's status at the time of the crash.

When the driver is matched with a passenger and transporting them, Uber and Lyft each carry $1 million in commercial liability coverage. This covers injuries to passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians. When the driver has the app open but has not yet accepted a ride, a reduced commercial policy applies (typically $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident). When the app is off, only the driver's personal auto insurance applies.

Rideshare accident claims are more complex than standard car accident claims because multiple insurance policies may apply and Uber and Lyft actively defend their liability. Kigan Martineau has experience handling rideshare claims and knows how to identify which policy applies and how to maximize recovery.

Utah's statute of limitations for rideshare injury claims is four years from the date of the crash under Utah Code Section 78B-2-307.
