Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer in Brockton, MA

Q: How does Uber and Lyft insurance work after a Massachusetts accident?

It depends on the driver’s app status. Period 1 (app off): only the driver’s personal policy. Period 2 (logged in, waiting): roughly $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident contingent coverage. Period 3 (trip accepted/passenger aboard): a $1 million liability policy.

Q: Does PIP apply to Uber and Lyft passengers in Massachusetts?

Yes. Because Massachusetts is a no-fault state, PIP generally pays the first $8,000 of a passenger’s medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault, before any liability claim.

Q: Who pays if my rideshare driver caused the crash?

If the driver was on an active trip, Uber or Lyft’s $1 million commercial policy generally applies. If they were only logged in and waiting, the lower contingent coverage applies. We use the trip record to establish the period.

Q: What if another driver caused the crash and was uninsured?

During an active trip, Uber and Lyft carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage that can compensate passengers and the rideshare driver when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance.

Q: How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in Massachusetts?

Three years from the crash (MGL c.260 § 2A). These cases involve multiple insurers and time-sensitive electronic records, so move quickly.

Understanding Massachusetts Rideshare Accident Law in Brockton

Uber and Lyft crashes in Brockton turn on which insurance period applied. App off: only the driver’s personal policy; logged in and waiting: roughly $50,000/$100,000 in contingent coverage; and during an active trip: a $1 million commercial policy. Because Massachusetts is a no-fault state, your (or the vehicle’s) PIP also pays the first $8,000 of a passenger’s medical bills regardless of fault.

To pursue pain and suffering you must meet the serious injury threshold, and Massachusetts’s 51% comparative-fault bar (MGL c.231 § 85) applies. You have three years to file (MGL c.260 § 2A), and preserving the in-app trip record is critical. Cases are tried before the Plymouth County Superior Court.

Common Uber & Lyft Accident Cases We Handle in Brockton

Uninsured Rideshare Crashes: When the at-fault driver is uninsured, Uber/Lyft UM/UIM coverage may apply during an active trip.
Rideshare Pedestrian and Cyclist Crashes: Pedestrians and cyclists struck by an Uber or Lyft vehicle.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Uber & Lyft accident in Brockton?

A serious injury can upend every part of your life. Under Massachusetts personal injury law, you have the right to pursue full compensation from those responsible. Damages may include:

My husband and I have had a string of bad luck with car accidents, in the past about 10 years we’ve had at least seven. Since we found attorney Campopiano we don’t worry. We call him at the scene and he gives us guidance and makes sure we’re taken care of right away. By the time we get home we have an email of the documents to get started with the case. Whenever there’s a concern him or his amazing bilingual staff is there to address them and put us at ease right away. When the coverage available is not enough to cover our damage he even reduces his fees. Thank you, thank you, thank you for always being there at every scary and unexpected car accident.

Their attention to detail and compassion is only outshined by their passion for making sure they get you the best possible outcome for your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Uber & Lyft Accident in Brockton

1. How does Uber and Lyft insurance work after a Massachusetts accident?

It depends on the driver’s app status. Period 1 (app off): only the driver’s personal policy. Period 2 (logged in, waiting): roughly $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident contingent coverage. Period 3 (trip accepted/passenger aboard): a $1 million liability policy.

2. I was a passenger in an Uber or Lyft crash in Massachusetts — what are my rights?

As an innocent passenger you can recover no matter which driver was at fault. Your own (or the vehicle’s) PIP pays the first $8,000 of medical bills, and during an active trip the $1 million policy and UM/UIM coverage are available.

3. Does PIP apply to Uber and Lyft passengers in Massachusetts?

Yes. Because Massachusetts is a no-fault state, PIP generally pays the first $8,000 of a passenger’s medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault, before any liability claim.

4. Who pays if my rideshare driver caused the crash?

If the driver was on an active trip, Uber or Lyft’s $1 million commercial policy generally applies. If they were only logged in and waiting, the lower contingent coverage applies. We use the trip record to establish the period.

5. What if another driver caused the crash and was uninsured?

During an active trip, Uber and Lyft carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage that can compensate passengers and the rideshare driver when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance.

6. Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly in Massachusetts?

Direct corporate suits face the independent-contractor defense, but the $1 million Period 3 policy is reachable without one. Negligent hiring or retention claims may create direct liability where the company knew of a driver’s unsafe record.

7. How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in Massachusetts?

Three years from the crash (MGL c.260 § 2A). These cases involve multiple insurers and time-sensitive electronic records, so move quickly.

8. Can I recover if I was partly at fault?

Yes, if 50% or less at fault under Massachusetts modified comparative negligence, with your award reduced by your share — relevant mainly if you were a rideshare driver or another motorist, not an innocent passenger.
