How much is a rideshare accident settlement worth in San Antonio?

Rideshare Accident Settlement Value in San Antonio

Rideshare accident settlement values in San Antonio depend primarily on which insurance period applies, the severity of your injuries, total medical expenses and future care costs, and lost earning capacity. Period 3 cases — where Uber’s or Lyft’s $1 million commercial policy applies — can reach seven figures in serious injury cases. The platform’s $1 million is the floor, not the ceiling, when multiple sources of coverage are available.

Why Rideshare Cases Pay More Than Standard Car Accidents

Standard car accidents in Texas are limited by the at-fault driver’s personal policy — as low as $30,000. Period 3 rideshare accidents are covered by a $1 million commercial policy. That single difference can increase available recovery by $970,000 in an equivalent injury case. The insurance period classification that adjusters fight to minimize is the same one that Wayne Wright fights to establish.

Key Factors in Your Case Value

• Coverage period — Period 3 ($1M) vs. Period 1 (personal limits as low as $30K)
• Injury severity and permanency — surgical injuries, TBI, and permanent disability produce the highest values
• Future medical expenses — documented by medical cost projection experts
• Lost earning capacity — calculated by vocational economists if long-term
• Platform negligence — background screening failures add direct corporate liability exposure
