Sell Your Leads/Rideshare Accident/How to Sell

How to sell rideshare accident leads: intake questions, tagging and testing

How do you sell rideshare accident leads?

Ask in plain words whether the claimant was a passenger, whether the driver was working for a rideshare app and carrying or collecting a rider, plus injury, treatment, lawyer status and state, on a web form with consent language and a TCPA consent record. Tag those leads as rideshare, connect to buyers by real-time ping/post, test every answer path, and settle terms and returns before live traffic.

Who buys rideshare accident leads?

Legal marketing agencies working for firms that handle rideshare claims, MVA lead brokers and networks that pass each lead to an end buyer, and case acquisition companies. Summit Leads takes rideshare accident web form leads by real-time ping/post too; a test starts with an email to team@summitleads.ai.

This guide is about the seller's side of the work: the questions on the form, keeping rideshare leads apart from other crashes, what not to say in ads, and what to check in the first test. Why rideshare claims differ from other crashes is covered on the rideshare accident hub.

Ask rideshare questions a claimant can actually answer

A rideshare buyer wants to know the claimant's role in the crash and what the driver was doing for the app at that moment. Claimants do not think in insurance terms, so the form has to ask in everyday words and let the buyer translate. Rideshare insurance rules, as the NAIC summarises them and state laws such as the Texas Insurance Code set them out, turn on whether the driver was logged in, matched to a ride, or carrying a rider. The questions below get at that without asking the claimant to know it.

"Were you riding in the car as a passenger?": Separates passengers from other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Offer each of those as an answer instead of a yes/no, because buyers treat each one differently.
"Was the driver working for a rideshare app at the time?": Yes, no or not sure. A claimant hit by a stranger often cannot know, and "not sure" is a usable answer. A forced guess is not.
"Was the driver carrying a passenger or on the way to pick one up?": Tells the buyer which part of the driver's insurance may apply. Ask it in these words; never ask a claimant to name a coverage period.
"Do you have the ride receipt or booking confirmation?": Passengers usually do. Record yes or no only. The buyer asks for the document itself once it has accepted the lead.
"Were you hurt, and have you been seen by a doctor?": The injury and treatment answers are what a rideshare buyer screens on first, before anything about the vehicle.
"Have you spoken to a lawyer about this crash?": Claimants who already have a lawyer are declined by almost every buyer, so ask before the lead is pinged.

Keep the contact fields last, after the claimant has answered the crash questions, and keep the questions short enough to finish on a phone. What buyers read into each answer is set out in the rideshare lead quality guide.

Keep rideshare leads apart from your other accident leads

Most rideshare leads arrive through a general accident form, not a dedicated one. That is fine as long as each lead carries a rideshare tag set by the claimant's own answer, not by the ad they clicked. A buyer that only takes rideshare cases should never be pinged with an untagged car crash.

Branch on one question. "Was a rideshare vehicle involved?" opens the rideshare questions on a yes and skips them on a no.
Send "not sure" as rideshare-possible. Agree with each buyer whether it wants these leads before the test, not after.
Route "driver not working" as a car accident lead. Those claims follow the ordinary car accident path; the car accident seller hub covers how they sell.
Never relabel after a decline. A lead declined as rideshare is not resent as a car crash to the same buyer, or the other way round.

Ad and landing page claims that cost you buyers

Rideshare traffic draws more scrutiny than ordinary crash traffic because the ads can easily look like they come from the rideshare company. Buyers review the landing page before a test and turn down supply that:

uses a rideshare company's logo, colours or app screenshots, or reads as if it were the company's own claims page;
promises a payout, a settlement or a set amount of insurance;
tells the claimant the rideshare company is at fault before anyone has looked at the crash;
hides who will contact the claimant, or puts the consent language where it is easy to miss.

The consent language sits beside the submit button and names who may contact the claimant and how. Each lead keeps its own TCPA consent record: the wording shown, when it was accepted, the IP address and the page. The rules that apply to accident claimants are in TCPA compliance for MVA leads.

What to check in the first rideshare test

Every lead goes to buyers in real time, by ping/post, as the claimant submits the form. The ping carries the crash answers with nothing that identifies the claimant; a buyer whose filters match accepts, and only then does the post send the name, phone, email and the consent record. Nothing is held back to send later as a file. The full exchange is explained in ping/post explained.

Rideshare forms have more answer paths than most accident forms, so the test should walk each one:

a passenger, another driver, and a pedestrian or cyclist;
driver working, not working, and "not sure";
a claimant who already has a lawyer, which the buyer should decline;
a state the buyer does not take, which should never reach the ping.

Confirm that each test lead comes back accepted or declined for the reason you expected, and that the buyer's system reads "not sure" as a real answer, not a blank.

Why rideshare leads come back, and the fix

Which reasons count as a return, and how a disputed one is settled, is agreed with each buyer during onboarding. These are the rideshare-specific ones to plan for:

Not a rideshare crash: The driver turned out to be off the app or driving for personal reasons. Route "not working" answers as car accident leads, and do not relabel them later.
Claimant role unclear: The lead does not say whether the claimant was the passenger, another driver or someone on foot. Make the role a required answer.
Already represented: The lawyer question was skipped or optional. Make it required and stop the ping on a yes.
No treatment: The claimant was shaken but has not seen anyone. Ask about treatment early, and keep ad copy about injuries, not about the rideshare company.
Sold twice: The same claimant came through a rideshare form and a general accident form. De-duplicate across every form before the ping.

Whether a lead goes to one buyer or several is also settled up front; see exclusive or shared rideshare leads. Older rideshare leads that missed the real-time window are a separate question, covered in aged rideshare accident leads.

Rideshare seller questions

Can I sell a rideshare lead if the claimant does not know whether the driver was working?

Yes. Send "not sure" as its own answer rather than guessing, and pass on anything the claimant did know, such as whether they booked the ride themselves. Buyers who take rideshare cases are used to finding out the driver's status later. A guessed answer that turns out wrong is what gets a lead sent back.

Do rideshare accident leads need their own form?

No. A general accident form works if it asks whether a rideshare vehicle was involved and tags the lead from that answer. What matters is that a buyer who only takes rideshare cases never receives an untagged car crash, and that a car accident buyer is not sent a rideshare lead it did not ask for.

Does Summit Leads take rideshare accident leads in batch files?

No. Summit takes rideshare accident web form leads by real-time ping/post, one lead at a time as each form is submitted. Calls and live transfers are not taken for now.

Can my ads mention the rideshare companies by name?

Saying the crash involved a rideshare vehicle is what draws the right claimants. Using a company's logo, implying you work with or for it, or promising what its insurance will pay is what gets traffic turned down by buyers. Keep the ad about the claimant's situation and who will contact them.

What happens when a lead turns out not to be a rideshare crash?

It is handled under the return terms you agreed with the buyer during onboarding, so agree in advance whether "not a rideshare crash" is a return reason. To keep these low, route any lead where the claimant says the driver was not working as a car accident lead from the start.

What does Summit Leads need from me to start?

An email to team@summitleads.ai with your traffic sources, the states you cover and a link to the form with its consent language. We check that we have an active buyer for rideshare leads in those states, agree terms and returns during onboarding, discuss rates on a call, and start with a test.
