If you are a passenger you might not be at-fault for the accident. However, it's your legal obligation to find out who's negligence caused it. If your Uber driver was not paying attention to the road, you might win a considerable amount as your compensation. However, if your Uber was hit by another car, you will be in a conflict with both parties (Uber and the driver that hit you) , and your Uber and Lyft accident lawyer will have to figure out whose fault it was the most.
