Frequently Asked Questions
How does PA’s no-fault system affect rideshare accident claims?
PA’s choice no-fault system can complicate rideshare claims. Your own auto policy’s tort selection (limited vs. full) may affect your right to sue. As a rideshare passenger, you are typically not subject to tort limitations when pursuing the at-fault party.
What insurance covers rideshare accidents Across PA, NJ, NY & MD?
Coverage depends on driver status: personal only (app off), $50K/$100K/$25K (app on, no ride), or $1.5M (ride accepted through dropoff for Uber/Lyft).
What is the statute of limitations for rideshare accidents in PA?
Two years from the date of the accident.
Can I be compensated as a rideshare driver injured in PA?
Yes. If another driver caused the accident, you can pursue their insurance. If you were on an active ride, the rideshare company’s uninsured/underinsured coverage may also apply.
What if both drivers share fault in a rideshare accident?
PA’s modified comparative negligence allows recovery if you’re less than 51% at fault. Multiple insurance policies may come into play, and an attorney can determine the best strategy.
