Uber’s end-of-year investor report indicated that the company gave more than 11 billion trips worldwide in 2025. While Texas was only a small portion of that number, that still comes out to thousands of trips covering millions of total miles. If you’re involved in an Uber or Lyft crash in Texas, your case comes with a coverage question a normal wreck doesn't have: how will the accident be covered? Figuring it out isn’t always straightforward, and may involve having to fight to secure evidence that might not be publicly available.
Three Phases, Three Different Coverage Levels
The amount of insurance coverage available to a rideshare accident depends heavily on the driver’s app status at the time of the accident. Rideshare drivers have far more coverage available to them when they are actively giving a ride than they do when they’re waiting on their next fare.
| App Status | Insurance Source | Available Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| App off | Driver’s personal auto policy | Texas minimum limits |
| App on, waiting for a ride request | Uber/Lyft contingent liability coverage | Limits above the driver’s personal policy, below the full commercial amount |
| Ride accepted or passenger on board | Rideshare platform’s commercial policy | $1 million liability policy, plus uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage |
An attorney who works rideshare cases establishes which phase applies using the trip record and the app data, then pursues every policy that attaches. Getting that wrong is how a serious injury ends up chasing a minimum-limits policy.
What a Rideshare Attorney Handles for You
Trip data lives with the platform, and it doesn’t come out on request. Preserving it usually takes a formal legal demand. The sooner that goes out, the better. Your attorney also sorts out who else may share fault, whether that’s another driver, the vehicle’s owner, or a parts manufacturer.
Each of these insurance layers may try to blame one another, and that can make a case drag out for weeks, months, or even years. An attorney can keep things organized and moving while keeping the pressure on parties who are liable for the injuries your accident may have caused. This includes passengers, rideshare drivers hit by someone else, people in other vehicles, and even pedestrians.
