Why You Need an Experienced Detroit Uber Accident Lawyer
Getting into an accident involving an Uber or Lyft in Detroit isn't like your average car crash. Rideshare usage has skyrocketed — and so have accidents.
Uber accidents involve complex liability questions about when the company is responsible versus when the driver's personal insurance applies. Rideshare companies like Uber have unique insurance policies, layers of liability, and complex legal protections — all designed to limit their responsibility.
That's why it's critical to contact a dedicated and experienced Uber accident lawyer at HOV Law as soon as possible.
Here's why working with our rideshare lawyers matters:
We understand Uber's insurance loopholes — Whether the driver was actively on a trip, waiting for a ride request, or offline completely — coverage changes depending on the driver's app status. We know how to navigate these policies and determine exactly who's responsible.
We fight for full compensation — Uber's insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Without legal representation, victims often walk away with far less than what they're owed. We pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
We're not afraid to take on big corporations — Our legal team has experience handling complex rideshare accident claims. We hold negligent drivers and corporations accountable — no matter how big the opponent.
We handle everything so you can heal — From start to finish, HOV Law will take care of the paperwork, negotiations, and legal strategy so you can focus on what matters most — your recovery.
Understanding Uber's Insurance Periods
- Period 1 (App On, Waiting for Request):The driver is logged into the app but hasn't accepted a ride. Coverage is limited: $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident for injuries and $25,000 for property damage.
- Period 2 (En Route to Pickup):The driver has accepted a ride and is heading to pick up the passenger. Coverage increases to $1 million in liability and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
- Period 3 (Passenger in Vehicle):A passenger is in the car. Full $1 million coverage applies until the passenger is dropped off.
What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident in Detroit

Michigan Laws That Affect Your Case
Statute of Limitations
In Michigan, you have a limited time to file your claim: 3 years for personal injury (MCL § 600.5805). Missing this deadline typically means you lose your right to compensation permanently.
“Time is your most valuable asset after an injury. Contact a Detroit attorney immediately to ensure your claim is preserved.”
Modified Comparative Negligence
Michigan follows a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages only if you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Michigan Insurance System
Michigan operates under a No-Fault (PIP required) system. Drivers choose PIP coverage levels; unlimited PIP was historically required but reformed in 2019.
