What the form asks about

1
Driver app status at the time of the crashUber and Lyft maintain different coverage tiers depending on whether the driver's app was offline, the driver was available for rides, or a trip was actively in progress. The applicable tier affects which coverage applies.
2
Platform and personal policy layersA rideshare accident may involve the driver's personal auto policy, Uber or Lyft's contingent liability coverage, and the platform's commercial policy. Identifying all layers is an early priority.
3
Passenger versus third-party injury claimsWhether you were a passenger in the rideshare vehicle, a pedestrian struck by the vehicle, or another motorist involved in the crash affects which coverage path may apply.
4
Trip records and app activityRideshare trip logs, fare receipts, and app activity records help establish driver status and the timeline of events before and during the crash.
5
Injury documentationEmergency care, follow-up treatment, and documented injury progression are central to evaluating a rideshare injury claim. Medical records and billing should be preserved from the outset.
