Ridesharing has become an increasingly popular and cost-effective transportation method in Connecticut. Unfortunately, the use of Uber, Lyft and other ridesharing companies does come with some risk. For example, most ridesharing drivers are independent contractors who do not have a commercial driver’s license or commercial auto insurance. This can lead to complications if you are injured in an accident by an Uber driver who is on duty. Tell Us Your Situation In A Free  Consultation. Determining fault and liability in a car accident is often complex. The complexity increases when the accident involves a ridesharing company. Personal insurance policies rarely cover accidents if the policyholder is driving for Uber.
