Royal Oak Rideshare Accident Compensation
Holding Drivers and Companies Accountable for Accidents in the Detroit Metro Area
Rideshare accidents create a layer of complexity that ordinary car accident claims don't, including multiple insurance policies, corporate legal teams, and coverage that shifts depending on what the app was doing at the moment of impact. Garrison Law has spent over two decades taking on large companies and insurance carriers throughout Michigan, and we bring that same determination to rideshare cases, working to secure the compensation our clients deserve while managing every detail of the claims process.
Whether you were riding in the vehicle, driving it, or sharing the road with it, the path to compensation looks different depending on your role in the accident. Our team tailors five-star-rated strategies to fit your specific circumstances rather than applying a generic approach.

Who We Represent in Rideshare Accident Cases
Rideshare accidents can leave several different people injured, and each situation calls for its own legal strategy.
We regularly represent:
- Rideshare passengers. Uber and Lyft passengers are typically covered by the platform's substantial liability policy, and we work to make sure that coverage is properly applied to the full extent of the injury.
- Rideshare drivers. Drivers injured by another motorist face unique insurance gaps depending on their app status at the time of the crash, and we dig into trip logs and coverage periods to identify every available source of recovery.
- Occupants of other vehicles. When a rideshare driver causes a crash, drivers and passengers in the other vehicle can pursue claims against the platform's commercial coverage, which often provides significantly more protection than a standard personal auto policy.
- Pedestrians and cyclists. Struck by a rideshare vehicle while walking or biking, these victims may have claims against multiple parties, and we move quickly to preserve app data before it's lost.
No matter which of these situations applies to you, our attorneys start by identifying exactly which policies and parties are in play.

Navigating Michigan's Rideshare Insurance Rules
Michigan law ties a rideshare driver's available insurance to their exact status in the app at the moment of the accident, creating three distinct coverage periods. When the app is off, only the driver's personal policy applies. Once the driver is logged in and waiting for a request, Uber and Lyft must provide limited contingent liability coverage. Once a ride is accepted and a passenger is being transported, that coverage increases substantially to a much larger commercial liability policy.
Insurance companies frequently dispute which period was active at the time of the crash, since the difference can mean the gap between a modest payout and a far larger one. Our attorneys know how to obtain and interpret trip data, driver logs, and app records to establish exactly what was happening when the collision occurred, and we apply that same diligence to coordinating your no-fault PIP benefits alongside any liability claim.
