I was in accident driving for uber with passenger in the car. I was hit in the rear while stopped at red light. In order for me to collect lost wages from Uber, I had to: 1. Fill out P.I.P. form from James River. 2. Had to prove that I had TNC rideshare insurance. 3. Prove that I was not at fault. 4. Provide paystubs of past 8 weeks income. 5. Provide doctors note stating that I could not work due to accident.
Then and only then was I able to collect my lost wages from uber. In Maryland, I was only able to collect a maximun of $2,500 dollars. After I gave them everything they asked for, it took about 1 week to get my check from James River. Must go through settlement with at fault drivers insurance company to get more compensation. That was my experience. I hope this helps clear up any confusion.
Hi there, I just had the exact same situation last night. I am lost and don’t know what to do , please help if you can. I called the police and ended up in ER for back and nick pain.
I was in a horrible car accident in Philadelphia.
@@spyro_oc9362 having the same problem.. what was your outcome with insurance
Better question: Do Uber and Lyft pay for lost wages when they suspend your account for a bogus passenger allegations?
No
And whet if the other person doesn’t have insurance?
In one year I was hit on two separate occasions by uninsured drivers. Even though I was not at fault, Hertz wants $2500 and Flexdrive $1000 for the second vehicle! This is ridiculous. Not only was I out of work at no fault of my own, they want over $3k. There goes my credit...
I was in a serious accident and rideshare co will pay 500 dollars a week with doctors note. 500 a week doesn't pat for rent.
Just wanted to add that having a dash cam in your car goes a long way in proving who was really at fault. I wouldn't drive anywhere for Any reason without one.
Johnn Smyth i agree with u on that for ur personal benifit u should have one. but as for uber they dont care whose at fault they still count it against u as far as requirments and in some cases still suspend ur acct while they investigate the accident which is bull shit its realy there way of not letting u drive if car has body damage till its fixed cause they require pictures. i was hit and had no damage but passanger reported it to uber looking for free rides even though i didnt charge them for trip cheap so they costed me money to get a few dollars. and uber suspended my acct asked for pics of damage told them there was none and sent pics they didnt believe me. they said those pics must be old we need to see damage and than pics showing its fixed i had to go to there office and show them the car. lost hole weekend worth of income cause it happened on fri and office closed till monday. so i lost 500 dollars so rider could get 20 dollar credit. ppl dont think bout who there hurting to get a couple bucks 4 free.
Just had an collision. I had a green light before and at impact with car crossing intersection captured on dash cam. Other driver was asked first and claimed he had green light. Told police I had it recorded on my dash cam. Took me a few minutes bc I don't review footage usually. But was able to display it on my tablet. Fault placed on other driver. Uploaded it to my insurance company. Immediately after reviewing not my fault. Now I am trying to figure out how to recoup lost wages because of car damage. I had no passengers and no injuries. Just lost my car. Missing out on Halloween week, 3 concerts, and sporting events lost income.
Am a lift driver my car had an incidence while driving for lyft and its a total lost and my insurance says they have nothing to pay for since I didn't tell them i was using my car for lyft and lyft is trying to see whay to do any help or advice??
How does the ride share company ins work and how much
Going to guess "no" before I watch this, because the term "wages" suggests employment to me, not independent contracting. Therefore, it's probably not their policy to do so, apart from any one-off concessions they might make.
I’m Lyft driver in route to pick up passengers and Uber driver with two passengers hit me tboned me. My neck hurts so Bad and I can’t work. The cops see the dash cam and say it’s his fault for hitting me from behind. The lawyer says I can’t get lost wages because I was working. What do you think I should do now I can’t pay my bills. They totaled my Lincoln. Unsure why big man can hit little girl and I am not whole.
Does lyft offer full coverage insurance for its drivers or just liability
I’m thinking full coverage.
They offer liability and leave you hanging.Get yourself rideshare insurance better commercial, because I thought they would cover everything and I am living a nightmare now after my horrible car accident.
Thank was recently in accident on the lyft platform very helpful
What law firm do you recommend in Tucson Az if you were sighted as a Lyft driver in a accident?

What about the passenger is there enough ins to cover him like a million dollars for medical
I am a Lyft driver and I had accident with a city garbage truck and it was he’s flat now how much you think I’ll get paid ?
Gwt yourself a good reputed lawyer. City vehicle should have commercial insurance make sure.
Hi! I was in an accident yesterday while doing a Lyft ride and I’m looking to find a lawyer to help me with my case. My passenger was injured and I was too. I read a lot on your website but I was wondering if you can recommend one in the LA area. Thank you!!
Yes, I actually do have a team I recommend, you can read more here: therideshareguy.com/rsg074-bryant-greening-on-dealing-with-uber-and-lyft-accidents/
get a negligence lawyer and pay them hourly. without willing to file a lawsuit the insurance companies will never treat you fairly.
What is the name of the downtown LA law firm mentioned towards the end of this video?
what if it is hit and run?
We recommend contacting Legal Rideshare for this type of information. legalrideshare.com/

I was hit in the read and the lady's insurance covered my lost rideshare wages. I also got dimunition of value because my car was worth less after it was in an accident. You must ask for these things if you are not at fault. They will not offer them.
I DON'T KNOW-WILL THEY?!?!?
Also Uber Xchange leasing shows no mercy if you have problems with operating tools such as your phone is down for two weeks due to manufacturer defects and while you're fighting it out between your carrier or Apple for a free replacement phone. I ended up paying the Apple Store $85 (that I had to borrow) to get another replacement phone. It's my estimating perspective that rideshare has become more and more just a side job for people looking to make extra income. It's not an industry that supports a livable single income which invariably sucks when you're strapped into the Uber Xchange lease. Then try opting out of the lease and buying a car instead is also impossible because the lease affects your income to debt ratio which is what financiers are trained to look at first. What if anything will be done to these rideshare rental and lease programs as the demand for each driver is divided by the saturation by new sign ups????
What insurance do you recommend? What's the best one that really covers your ass at a reasonable price?
StrykerEcks I have Geico Commercial Insurance. (Recommended)
Michael Swann me too
Michael Swann I got the same one.
Michael Swann what is Price they gave you ,??? Do we have to have commercials insurance while driving rideshare ?
@Michael Swann They no longer carry rideshare in CA. I also just had Kemper, they are dropping their rideshare coverage too. Been seeing quotes for about 400$ a month to do rideshare.. Sorry but I don't have that kind of money each month. Just to drive uber and I have to still pay $1700 in taxes
Hell no.
Not if ur in a no fault state then your screwed
Jovan White - NY is a No Fault State. But a video showing who hit who always Wins in court. Always!
Not in jersey
That is Excellence
I earn about $2000 per week driving for Lyft in DC. I was hit by another driving while I had a passenger in the car, no one was injured. The other guy was ruled at fault by his own insurance company, Nationwide. I've been unable to work since Lyft deactivated my account and wants me to get another car which I can't do unless I get paid from them. I think my lost wages are $2200 but they offered me $350 (they are saying I only make $350 a week). I earned $230 the day before I was hit, and I was at $400 3 days into the week, and half way to the $345 weekly bonus. Utterly disrespectful. No lawyer wants to take my case since the claim isn't worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Why couldn’t you get another vehicle with the money Nationwide had given you. Don’t they give you money based on the worth of your vehicle?
Same situation.
I was also not at fault so I’m hoping this case goes in my favor. :(
I just got hit by a drunk driver while doing Lyft what should I do
