Common questions
San Antonio rideshare accident questions
Where do San Antonio rideshare accidents happen most?
Downtown, the Pearl, the River Walk, Broadway, the Medical Center, and the airport route on US-281.
What if my rideshare driver was at fault?
The company’s one million dollar policy covers passengers regardless of which driver caused the crash, from the moment the ride was accepted.
What if I was the rideshare driver and someone hit me in San Antonio?
Your claim goes against the at-fault driver’s insurance first. Your own personal policy may exclude rideshare use unless you added a rideshare endorsement, and the coverage the app provides for drivers depends on its current policy terms. Keep your trip log, earnings history, and the app’s crash report, since lost driving income is part of the claim.
How do I prove the app status after a San Antonio rideshare crash?
Start with your own phone: the trip receipt, screenshots of the ride in progress, and any messages with the driver. The rideshare company holds the exact timeline of when the driver logged in, accepted the trip, and picked you up. That data is requested in writing and, if needed, through a subpoena once suit is filed in Bexar County.
