How fault works

Modified comparative negligence, 51% bar

Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, insurance in an Uber or Lyft crash can shift depending on whether the app was on and whether a ride was in progress. South Carolina is an at-fault state, so the party responsible for the crash bears the harm, and its modified comparative negligence 51% bar lets you recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, with any award reduced by your share. Untangling which policy, the driver's or the platform's, applies is often the hardest part. You generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed attorney who can identify the right coverage.
