Got hit while delivering for DoorDash — other driver's lawyer is now asking me to sign something weird
So this whole situation has me spinning and I honestly don't know what to do. About eight months ago I was in a collision while actively on a DoorDash delivery run. The other driver was the one who blew through a red light, but because of…

Rideshare driver hit me in a rental car 4 months ago — zero progress, no adjuster, nothing
I need to vent and also genuinely need help because I feel like I'm losing my mind. Back in the spring I was sitting at a red light when a car rear-ended me hard enough to deploy my airbags. The driver pulled over briefly, then just... to…

Rideshare driver hit my car and tried to leave — what do I do now?
So this happened a few hours ago and I'm still kind of shaking from the whole thing. I was stopped at a red light and a rideshare driver straight-up rear-ended me. Not a tap — like a real hit. My trunk is pushed in and there's damage acro…

T-boned by a DoorDash driver — his personal insurance won't cover me. What now?
Still kind of in shock writing this, honestly. So two days ago I'm driving home from work, totally normal evening. I'm going straight through a green light and out of nowhere a guy blows through the cross street and slams right into my dr…

Hit while working rideshare, driver took off — now stuck between two insurances??
Still kind of shaken up writing this but I need some guidance from people who've been through something similar. Last week I was driving for a rideshare platform — had a passenger request accepted and was on my way to pick them up. Stoppe…

Rideshare driver hit me, we agreed to handle it ourselves, now I have 3 tickets??
I'm still kind of in shock so bear with me. About three weeks ago I was driving on a two-lane road when a rideshare driver drifted into my lane and clipped my front passenger side. No warning, no signal, just — bam. Both of us pulled into…

Hit while driving for a rideshare app — now nobody wants to cover me?
Still kind of shaken up writing this out but here goes. I was driving for one of the big rideshare platforms last week, had just accepted a ride request and was sitting at a red light waiting to head toward the pickup spot. Out of nowhere…

Gig driver hit by another car — now the other driver is claiming Uber was 'involved'??
Okay so this is happening to my cousin and I'm trying to help her figure out what's going on because the whole thing feels like it's spinning out of control. She does delivery driving on the side — like one of those food courier apps — bu…

Rideshare driver rear-ended while on a trip — scared about the insurance mess, need advice
Hey everyone, hoping someone here has dealt with something like this because I'm kind of spiraling. My brother drives for one of the big rideshare platforms part-time to help cover bills. Last week he had a passenger in the car when someb…

Got rear-ended in a rideshare — what are my next steps before I talk to insurance?
So this happened about five days ago and I'm still kind of shaken up about it. I (24M) was in the backseat of a rideshare heading home from work when the driver stopped at a yellow light and we got slammed from behind. Nothing felt catastr…

Rideshare passenger injury — gap between what insurance "covers" and what I actually owe is massive
Posting anonymously because I'd rather keep my financial stress off my main profile. Back in the fall I was riding in a rideshare — wasn't driving, just a passenger — when the driver blew through a yellow and got T-boned by an SUV. I walk…

Passenger in a rideshare wreck, herniated disc found — is the policy limit actually the ceiling?
So I'm still kind of processing all of this. I was a passenger in a rideshare a few months back when the driver ran a red light and got T-boned. Not my fault at all — I was just sitting there scrolling my phone and suddenly my whole world…
