How Rideshare Insurance & Claims Work in Texas
Filing an insurance claim after an Uber or Lyft accident is very different from a traditional car crash. These cases often involve multiple insurance carriers, shifting coverage rules, and complex liability questions.
Rideshare drivers are independent contractors. Coverage depends on the ride stage:
- Period 0: Driver is logged off—personal insurance may apply.
- Period 1: Logged in but not yet accepted a ride—rideshare liability coverage applies.
- $50,000 of bodily injury liability per person
- $100,000 of bodily injury liability per accident
- $25,000 of liability for property damage per accident
- Periods 2 & 3: Trip accepted or passenger in car—up to $1 million coverage for bodily injury and property damage.
Although Uber and Lyft have strengthened their insurance policies in recent years, they also have a reputation for minimizing payouts to protect profits. Their insurance partners frequently use technical policy language, loopholes, and strict coverage requirements to deny or undervalue valid claims.
Insurance can be complicated, and companies often deny or limit coverage. Our Dallas rideshare accident attorneys ensure all responsible parties are held accountable.
Rideshare accidents often involve multiple parties:
- Rideshare Driver: Reckless or negligent behavior.
- Uber or Lyft: Inadequate safety standards or app-driven risks.
- Other Drivers: Contributing motorists may share fault.
- Third Parties: Manufacturers, maintenance providers, municipalities, pedestrians, or cyclists.
In claims involving multiple insurance companies, insurers often blame one another to evade liability. Our skilled attorneys investigate every angle to pursue maximum compensation.
Uber & Lyft Requirements Under Texas Law
Texas imposes strict requirements on rideshare companies and their drivers. Under Texas Occupations Code § 2402, drivers must meet minimum standards for licensing, age, insurance, background checks, and annual vehicle inspections.
While these rules are designed to enhance safety, they also create unique legal issues when accidents occur. Our attorneys understand how state-specific regulations impact rideshare claims and use that knowledge to hold drivers and companies accountable.
How Rideshare Companies Try to Reduce Their Liability
Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies are backed by powerful legal teams whose priority is protecting the company—not injured passengers. They often use several tactics to minimize or deny claims:
- Denying Responsibility – By classifying drivers as independent contractors, companies argue they are not directly liable for driver negligence.
- Limiting Insurance Coverage – Coverage varies widely based on the stage of the ride, allowing companies to reduce or deny payouts when a driver is between trips.
- Blaming the Driver – Companies shift fault entirely to the individual driver to avoid corporate liability.
- Lowball Offers – Insurance adjusters push fast, undervalued settlement offers that fail to cover long-term medical or financial needs.
- Complex Policy Language – Uber and Lyft use contracts and policy terms designed to confuse victims and obscure coverage details.
Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents
Understanding how accidents happen helps protect your rights:
- Speeding: A factor in nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities.
- Distracted Driving: Apps, phones, and navigation devices create risks for rideshare drivers.
- Inexperience: Less stringent driver requirements mean higher risk.
- Fatigue: Long hours or overnight shifts can lead to dangerous driving.

Meet the Founders
MR.LAW was built by founding partners Damon Mathias and Ori Raphael, two trial attorneys who met in law school and bonded over a shared belief that the legal system must protect everyday people — especially when they’re up against powerful corporations and insurers. Both are sons of refugees, and that history fuels their mission to fight for the underdog and uphold their guiding principle: “Justice, justice shall you pursue.” Their relentless commitment ultimately shaped the firm’s ethos, “Until Victory Always,” which drives every rideshare accident case the firm takes on.
Together, Damon and Ori bring a rare combination of strengths to client representation.
- Damon is a strategic litigator with extensive federal court admissions across multiple circuits, giving MR.LAW the ability to handle cases that cross state lines or involve complex insurance and corporate oversight — issues that often arise in Uber and Lyft claims.
- Ori brings nearly a decade of public-sector experience, investigative training from his time as a journalist, and a proven record of success in high-profile civil rights and personal injury cases. Their combined backgrounds give rideshare accident victims a powerful advantage: founders who are fearless, deeply principled, and unafraid to take on billion-dollar companies when clients need it most.
