Frequently Asked Questions
Who is liable if I'm injured in an Uber accident?
Liability depends on the circumstances. If the Uber driver caused the accident, Uber's $1 million commercial policy may apply (when driver has a passenger or is en route to pickup). If another driver caused it, their insurance is primary. We navigate these complex insurance issues.
Does Uber's insurance cover my injuries as a passenger?
Yes. If you're an Uber passenger injured in an accident, you're covered by Uber's $1 million liability policy regardless of who was at fault. You should recover compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
What if the Uber driver didn't have the app on?
If the driver was off-duty (app off), only their personal auto insurance applies—which may be minimal. If the app was on but no ride was accepted, Uber provides limited coverage. If a ride was active or en route to pickup, full $1 million coverage applies.
How is an Uber accident different from a regular car accident?
Uber accidents involve complex insurance issues with multiple policies (Uber's commercial policy, driver's personal insurance, other drivers' policies), corporate defendants with legal teams, and app status determining coverage. These cases require specialized knowledge.
What compensation can I recover in an Uber accident case?
You may recover medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and permanent disability compensation. Uber's $1M policy provides substantial coverage for seriously injured victims.
