In Lubbock, rideshare services have made campus trips at Texas Tech and late-night rides in the Depot District easier than ever. But when accidents happen, they often raise complicated questions: Who’s responsible? What insurance applies? How can you be sure your medical bills will get paid?
If you were hurt while riding in, driving near, or walking past a rideshare vehicle, you are not alone. These crashes are more common than people think, and victims are often left confused and overwhelmed.

Let us help you take back control. Our legal team will explain your rights, examine the details of your crash, and guide you every step of the way, starting with a FREE CONSULTATION.

In Texas, rideshare drivers and companies must follow House Bill 100, which includes:
TNCs must obtain an annual permit from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to operate.
TNCs are required to conduct annual local, state, and national criminal background checks on drivers, including checks against sex offender registries.
Drivers must maintain insurance as specified in Chapter 1954 of the Insurance Code while logged into the TNC’s digital network.
TNCs must enforce a zero-tolerance policy for driver intoxication, including procedures for passenger complaints and investigations.
Before a ride, passengers must receive the driver’s first name and photo, as well as the vehicle’s make, model, and license plate number via the TNC’s digital network.
Uber and Lyft drivers must meet key standards to operate legally:
If the driver violated any of these rules, your claim could become much stronger.
Insurance coverage depends on when the driver was logged into the app:
| Driver’s App Status | Insurance Coverage Available |
|---|---|
| App Off | Only personal auto insurance applies |
| App On (No Ride Accepted) | Limited liability: $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, $25,000 property damage (not including the driver’s car) |
| En Route to Pickup or In-Trip | Full commercial policy: Up to $1 million in liability coverage |
| With a Passenger | Up to $1,000,000 liability coverage (with limited coverage to the car), plus uninsured motorists coverage |
Understanding how insurance works in rideshare accidents is just one piece of the puzzle. The next step? Making sure you get the care and compensation you need to move forward.
You deserve more than a quick payout; you deserve justice, medical care, and peace of mind. If you’re still recovering or unsure about what to do next, our team is here for you.
Call Thompson Law today to schedule your FREE CASE REVIEW. We don’t get paid unless we recover compensation for you.
Liability can fall on the rideshare driver, another negligent driver, or even the rideshare company itself in rare cases. Determining fault depends on how the accident occurred and whether the driver was using the app at the time.
If the responsible driver lacks enough coverage, Uber or Lyft’s backup insurance may apply. These platforms are required to carry contingency policies to cover passengers and others when drivers are actively using the app.
In Texas, you are given about two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can result in losing your right to compensation.
Thompson Law charges NO FEE unless we obtain a settlement for your case. We’ve put over $1.9 billion in cash settlements in our clients’ pockets. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your accident, get your questions answered, and understand your legal options.
State law limits the time you have to file a claim after an injury accident, so call today.
