The Problem

An insurance maze designed to confuse you.

What Happened

Uber and Lyft cars are constantly on I-75 and I-575 in Kennesaw, picking up around downtown Kennesaw and the Kennesaw State University area. Which insurance applies depends on whether the driver’s app was on and whether a ride was in progress.

How It Feels

You’re confused. Who’s responsible? Which policy applies? Uber says talk to the driver’s insurance. The driver’s insurance says Uber should cover it. The rules keep changing and nobody gives you a straight answer.

What’s Fair

Rideshare companies built a $100-billion industry on the backs of drivers and passengers. When their business model injures someone, they should pay — not hide behind contractor classifications and layered policies designed to minimize payouts.

Kennesaw Uber and Lyft Accident Cases

What to know about Uber or Lyft accident claims in Kennesaw.

High-Risk Roads

I-75, I-575, Barrett Parkway, Chastain Road, Cobb Parkway (US-41). These are the corridors where we see the most serious crash injuries in Kennesaw.

Where Injured People Are Treated

Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. We gather records from every provider who treated you and track the cost of future care.

Reports and Evidence

Crash reports come from Kennesaw Police, Cobb County Police or Georgia State Patrol. We request them, along with 911 records and nearby business or traffic video, before it is overwritten.

Where Your Case Is Filed

When a lawsuit is needed, Kennesaw cases are usually filed in Cobb County State or Superior Court in Marietta. We handle Kennesaw cases from our Atlanta office in Buckhead.

What You’re Up Against

The rideshare insurance shell game — and how it works against you.

Uber and Lyft coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the exact moment of the crash. That creates a three-tier shell game — and a fight over which tier applies.

Tier 1 — App Off

Driver’s personal insurance applies. Uber/Lyft provide nothing. Most personal auto policies exclude rideshare driving — the driver may have no coverage at all.

Tier 2 — App On, Waiting

Uber/Lyft provide limited coverage — roughly $50K per person, $100K per accident bodily injury, $25K property damage. Barely enough for a serious injury.

Tier 3 — En Route or On Trip

Uber/Lyft carry up to $1M in liability coverage per accident. This is where the real money is — and where the insurers fight hardest to deny.

The Tier Dispute

Insurers hire investigators to prove the driver was in Tier 1 or 2 — where coverage is minimal — even when the evidence clearly shows Tier 3.

Meet Your Legal Team

Gunn Law Group — we know the rideshare playbook.

Why We Do This

Rideshare accidents are uniquely frustrating. You didn’t even choose the driver — an algorithm did. You shouldn’t have to become an insurance expert to get compensated for injuries you didn’t cause.

Our Track Record

We handle rideshare accident cases across Georgia.
We know the Uber and Lyft tier structure inside and out.
We obtain the driver’s app-status data — proving which tier applied at impact.
We pursue every available policy: rideshare, driver’s personal, and your UM/UIM.

The Plan

Three steps to cut through the insurance shell game.

Step 01

Free Consultation

Call 888-BIG-GUNN. We identify which insurance tier applies, who’s liable, and what your case is worth — in plain language.

Step 02

Obtain the App Data

We subpoena Uber/Lyft records: app status at the moment of crash, driver rating, trip history, and background check. This data drives recovery. In Kennesaw, that includes the report from Kennesaw Police, Cobb County Police or Georgia State Patrol.

Step 03

Stack Every Policy

Rideshare $1M policy, driver’s personal policy, your own UM/UIM coverage, and any other applicable coverage. We don’t leave money on the table.

Georgia Rideshare Law

The statutes that put rideshare coverage on the table.

Georgia Ride Share Network Transportation Act

Georgia law requires rideshare companies to maintain insurance that varies by the driver’s status at the time of the accident — and we know how to enforce it.

Independent Contractor Liability

Uber and Lyft classify drivers as independent contractors, but Georgia courts have held rideshare companies liable under multiple theories when injuries occur during active rides.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy may provide recovery on top of the rideshare company’s coverage. We verify every available source.

2-Year Statute of Limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33)

Georgia generally gives you 2 years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim. Waiting puts evidence and your right to file at risk.

What’s at Stake

What happens if you wait.

Without legal representation, you’re up against 3+ insurance companies trained to deny and deflect.
Driver app-status evidence can be deleted or ‘unavailable’ if not preserved fast.
Your own insurer may deny your UM/UIM claim without serious pushback.
Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations applies (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33).
Rideshare companies have billion-dollar legal teams; you need an attorney who knows their playbook.

When We Win

What we fight for.

Every applicable insurance policy pays its fair share.
Medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering fully compensated.
The insurance shell game fails — because your attorney knows the rules.
You never have to negotiate with three insurance companies yourself.
The corporation that profited from your ride pays for the damage it caused.

FAQ

Kennesaw Uber and Lyft Accident Questions

Who pays after an Uber or Lyft crash in Kennesaw?

It depends on the driver’s app status. We get the trip records to prove which policy applies.

An Uber/Lyft driver hit me — not the other way around. What now?

It depends on the driver’s app status at the moment of impact. Tier 3 (en route or on trip) opens up the $1M rideshare policy. Tier 2 has limited coverage. Tier 1 forces us to chase the driver’s personal policy. We subpoena the app data to prove which tier applied.

I’m an Uber/Lyft driver who was hit. Am I covered?

Yes — depending on your tier and who hit you. Uber/Lyft provide contingent coverage in some tiers, and you can pursue the at-fault driver’s policy. We also evaluate your own UM/UIM coverage.

Uber/Lyft told me to deal with the driver’s insurance. Is that right?

It’s the standard deflection. Whether it’s accurate depends on the tier and the facts. We don’t take the rideshare company’s word for it — we get the data and force the right policy to pay.

How long do I have to file a rideshare accident claim in Georgia?

Generally 2 years from the accident date under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Move quickly — app data and surveillance video disappear long before the statute runs.

What if the rideshare driver was an independent contractor?

That classification doesn’t shield Uber or Lyft from the insurance they’re required to maintain, and Georgia courts have held rideshare companies liable under several legal theories. We pursue every available avenue.
