Across the country, attorneys are seeing a surge in rideshare accident claims. Companies like Uber and Lyft may advertise their $1 million insurance policies, but these cases are rarely straightforward. Insurance carriers aren't eager to pay out the full amount—and in many serious crashes, that million dollars may not come close to covering the total damages. Fortunately, there are proven strategies attorneys can use to pursue additional compensation for their clients or their families. I recently attended the Atlas Lawyers Practice Management and Legal Marketing Seminar, where attorney Katie Nealon of Munley Law shared her insights on overcoming these challenges and securing results that go beyond the basic policy limits. Katie joins us today to discuss: Her journey at the onset of rideshare law Challenges for clients when their damages exceed the initial coverage limit How to develop legal strategies to hold all parties accountable and get more money for clients Visit Katie Nealon here: https://munley.com/our-attorneys/katie-nealon/.

Duncan Barrigan left his high-profile Chief Growth Officer role at GoCardless, a $2.2 billion payments platform, to solve what he calls the biggest challenge in financial technology: broken B2B payments. This $70 trillion market is stuck, with 98% of B2B payments handled by outdated, manual processes. Rideshare giants deploy 50-person teams just to manage accounts receivable, exposing an enormous need for modern payment processing solutions.Manual tasks and communication breakdowns are costing companies millions in wasted time. The core issue isn't just sending or receiving money—it's the chaos and disputes that slow down invoice payments and paralyze AP teams. Duncan saw that true progress means automating the entire workflow. Using the power of AI and AP automation, Lunos builds agents that handle accounts receivable at scale. These AI-powered tools negotiate, track, and resolve payment disputes without errors, never missing a detail, and supporting efficient electronic payments for modern businesses.1️⃣ Start with monitor mode first to build trust and understand AR patterns before advancing to suggest or act modes.2️⃣ Prevent disputes through real-time records instead of tracking payment promises in weekly spreadsheet downloads.3️⃣ Let email handle customer communication rather than forcing customers onto new portals that create friction.4️⃣ Use relationship-specific data for forecasting instead of broad machine learning patterns across different companies.5️⃣ Integrate like a human worker by connecting with existing ERPs, CRMs, and communication tools without forcing massive changes.GUESTDuncan Barrigan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/duncanbarrigan/LUNOSWebsite: www.lunos.aiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lunos-ai/FINTECH CONFIDENTIALPodcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNewsletter: https://fintechconfidential.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSUPPORTERSUnder - Streamlines application and underwriting with digital PDF processing - https://under.io/ftc Skyflow - Zero trust data privacy vault with simple API calls - https://skyflowsecure.com Hawk - AI tools for real-time fraud detection and transaction monitoring - https://gethawkai.comABOUTDuncan Barrigan is a technology entrepreneur and executive.

LikeFolio's data in consumer sentiment for Uber Technologies (UBER) moved in-line with the stock's performance, says Megan Brantley. Uber's diverse rideshare and delivery options gave the stock room to run higher, though Megan makes the case that consumer loyalty will come into question as tech like Tesla's (TSLA) robotaxi accelerates.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

According to KSL.com, On August 30th, a woman ordered a lyft for her nineteen-year-old cousin to get to her home in Sandy. The app told her that her cousin had arrived on time, but she did not. Officers learned that the driver had picked up the girl in a rental car, drove near her home to "end" the drive, and kidnapped her for hours before dropping her off about a mile home later. Greg and Holly discuss the details of this case. The hosts also provide an update on a different case in Utah, involving two men accused of placing a bomb underneath a Salt Lake City news outlet's station vehicle. The men now face state charges... in a related but separate case involving hoax dynamite in a Magna home.

We would love to hear your feedback!EP 266 News LinksEver wondered what happens when a gig worker has to jump a fence during an Amazon delivery? Or how Nashville became home to some of the highest airport rideshare fees in America? The Gig Economy Podcast dives deep into these stories and more as we explore the increasingly chaotic landscape facing today's drivers.When Nashville International Airport implemented a combined $12 round-trip surcharge for rideshare vehicles while simultaneously forcing drivers to use confusing parking garage drop-offs instead of terminal curbsides, it highlighted the growing tension between traditional services and the gig economy. Meanwhile, autonomous vehicles continue their march into mainstream transportation, with Tesla expanding its robo-taxi service from Austin to California's Bay Area—though their boast of 7,000 miles without incidents drew chuckles from hosts who regularly exceed that distance in mere months of driving.The darker side of the gig economy emerges in shocking incidents captured on video: a rideshare driver with a fake license physically assaulting a CEO over his service dog, a DoorDash driver confronted by a nude customer, and a pedestrian violently attacking a Waymo autonomous vehicle. These stories illuminate the very real safety concerns facing both human and robotic participants in today's transportation ecosystem.From Uber's surprising partnership with Turo allowing in-app car rentals to Walmart Spark's changing delivery structure, we examine how companies continue shifting their business models—often at drivers' expense. We also provide practical insight on how canceling rides affects passenger ratings (it doesn't!) and share our experiences with app algorithms and promotional opportunities that vary wildly between markets.Whether you're a full-time gig worker, occasional driver, or just fascinated by this rapidly evolving industry, our no-nonsense conversation provides both entertainment and essential information to navigate today's complex gig economy landscape.

Ten years ago, when you needed a ride across town or to the airport, you might have called a taxi. Now, you're more likely to open an app on your phone. Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft have been growing at breakneck speed. But the fast growth — and increased focus on profits — has changed the experience for some drivers and riders. It's also prompted some states, including Minnesota, to pass minimum wage guarantees for drivers. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with her guests about how rideshare works and how it's changing. Guests: Sergio Avedian is senior contributor for The Rideshare Guy, a driver advocacy blog and YouTube channel. He drives for multiple ridesharing and food delivery services in Los Angeles.Said Mohamed has been a rideshare driver for nine years and is a former taxi driver. Since moving to the Twin Cities from southern California three years ago, he's driven over 11,000 rides. He's also an organizer for SEIU Local 26, a union that wants to represent rideshare drivers.
The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
In this episode of The Do One Better Podcast, host Alberto Lidji sits down with David Risher, CEO of Lyft, to explore what it means to lead with purpose in one of the world's most competitive industries. David shares his journey from Amazon executive to nonprofit founder (Worldreader) and now CEO of Lyft, where he champions a vision of “serving and connecting.” He discusses his hands-on leadership style—including driving as a Lyft driver himself—and how listening directly to riders and drivers has shaped new innovations such as Women+ Connect, Price Lock, and on-time pickup guarantees. We also dive into Lyft Up, the company's initiative providing free or discounted rides to job seekers, patients, and low-income communities, and we hear about David's philanthropic work with Worldreader and Half My DAF, which is mobilizing millions in donor-advised funds for good causes. From navigating trade-offs between profit and purpose, to expanding Lyft's footprint into Europe, David offers candid insights into building a values-driven company while scaling impact at massive reach. Whether you're in the corporate world, nonprofit space, or seeking inspiration for how business can be a force for good, this conversation is full of fresh ideas, heartfelt stories, and practical lessons.
