The Woodlands rideshare accident questions

Market Street, Hughes Landing, the Pavilion, Sawdust Road, and I-45 on rides to the airport and Houston.
Where is a Woodlands rideshare accident case filed?
In the Montgomery County District Courts in Conroe.
What if my rideshare crashed leaving a concert at The Woodlands Pavilion?
Event traffic crashes are covered like any other trip in progress, with $1 million in coverage when a passenger is on board. If another driver caused the crash and had been drinking at the event or a nearby bar, a dram shop claim may also be possible. Get witness names before the lots clear, because event crowds disperse quickly.
Is a rideshare driver in The Woodlands an employee of Uber or Lyft?
The companies classify their drivers as independent contractors, which limits claims against the company itself. That is why Texas law requires the rideshare insurance coverage instead. For an injured passenger, the practical question is not employment status but which coverage period applied when the crash happened.
