Uber maintains $1,000,000 liability coverage when a trip is active. However, Uber’s transportation network insurance provider handles claims and often minimizes payouts. This is why legal representation matters.
As your Uber accident lawyer, we’ll help investigate coverage, protect critical evidence, and pursue the compensation you’re owed.
Lyft also provides up to $1 million in third-party liability coverage during an active ride. While its coverage is similar to Uber’s, the claims process can differ, especially when liability or insurance coverage is disputed.
As an experienced Lyft rideshare accident lawyer, we understand how to navigate Lyft’s insurance process and pursue the maximum compensation available.

A rideshare accident lawyer handles a specific type of claim involving Uber’s or Lyft’s tiered insurance structure. This determines how much coverage applies based on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash.
At Foster Wallace Personal Injury Lawyers, we determine which insurance policy applies and pursue all available compensation for the following types of claims:
Our Kansas City car accident lawyers know how to escalate when the rideshare company disputes liability.
The driver’s personal auto insurance applies only.
Limited Uber or Lyft contingent liability coverage.
Up to $1 million in third-party liability coverage through Uber or Lyft.
You’ll work directly with a Lyft car accident lawyer at every step of your case. We keep you informed, explain your options in plain language, and remain available to answer your questions from start to finish.
One of the biggest challenges after an Uber or Lyft accident is determining which insurance policy applies. In some cases, the rideshare company may argue that the driver was not logged into the app or had already ended the trip. This can shift responsibility to the driver’s personal insurance company.
Foster Wallace Personal Injury Lawyers investigates app activity, trip records, GPS data, and other evidence to establish the correct coverage and protect your claim.

A serious rideshare accident can leave you with unexpected medical bills, lost income, and lasting physical and emotional challenges.
Your right to compensation also depends on where your accident occurred. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, where you can still recover compensation if you were partly responsible. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Kansas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which generally prevents recovery if you are 50% or more at fault.
We’ll help walk you through your options and explore every avenue for compensation.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future treatment.
Income missed during recovery and reduced earning capacity.
Physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
Compensation available to eligible surviving family members.

A rideshare accident can be overwhelming and leave you unsure of what to do next. That’s why we handle every step of your case, simplifying the legal process so you can focus on recovery.
Here’s what to expect:
You’ll begin with a free consultation with an experienced rideshare accident lawyer. We’ll discuss what happened, explain which insurance policies may apply, and answer your questions. If available, bring your police report number, accident photos, and information about the Uber or Lyft trip.
Our team immediately begins gathering evidence to support your claim. We request rideshare app activity logs, GPS records, dashcam footage when available, police reports, witness statements, and medical records. You won’t have to deal with the insurance companies; we handle those conversations for you.
Once we understand the full extent of your injuries and damages, we prepare a demand package and negotiate with the appropriate insurance carrier. Whether the claim involves Uber’s insurer, Lyft’s insurer, or another driver’s insurance company, we’ll work to pursue a fair settlement while keeping you informed throughout the process.
If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, our rideshare accident lawyers are prepared to take your case to court. Throughout every stage of your case, you’ll work directly with attorney Michael Foster or Brian Wallace, not a call center or case manager.
We also work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Because the Kansas City metro spans two states, it’s important to know where your accident occurred.
