How to Seek Compensation After an Uber or Lyft Accident in Alabama

Alabama’s transportation network company (TNC) laws mandate that Uber and Lyft drivers carry more insurance than is required for private motorists. According to AL Code § 32-7C-2, rideshare drivers must have the following liability coverage:

• $50,000/$100,000 per person/accident for bodily injuries and $25,000 for property damage when a driver is logged into Uber or Lyft and available for a ride request, but not engaged in a pre-arranged ride
• $1 million for bodily injury and property damage when engaged in a pre-arranged ride

Uber and Lyft provide their drivers with policies in the required amounts. However, seeking damages from these companies can be complex. It is in their best interests (and the best interests of their insurers) to keep settlements as low as possible. Our Birmingham Uber/Lyft injury lawyer can manage your insurance claim and aggressively negotiate for the maximum compensation possible.
