    Is This Your Situation?

    This page is for Uber passengers, Uber drivers, and other motorists or pedestrians hurt by an Uber driver anywhere in Georgia.

    Overview

    Uber provides different coverage depending on whether the driver was offline, waiting for a ride request, en route to a passenger, or on an active trip. We pull the trip data to establish exactly which coverage applies to your Uber accident claim.

    Liability Considerations

    Uber's insurance coverage depends on the driver's app status at the time of the crash — offline, available, or on a trip. We obtain trip data to establish exactly which coverage tier applies and pursue every available policy on your behalf.

    • We untangle Uber's multi-tier insurance coverage
    • Free consultation, no fee unless we win
    • Direct attorney access — not a call center
    • Experience with passenger, driver, and third-party claims

    Understanding Your Case

    Common Causes

    Understanding common causes can help protect you and strengthen your case.

    • Distracted Driving While Navigating the App
    • Fatigued Drivers Working Long Hours
    • Unsafe or Sudden Drop-Offs
    • Speeding Between Rides
    • Other Drivers Striking Uber Vehicles
    • Impaired Driving

    Common Injuries

    These cases can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor to severe. Here are the most common we see:

    Whiplash and Neck Injuries
    Facial and Airbag Injuries
    Fractures
    Traumatic Brain Injury
    Back Injuries

    Protect Your Case

    What to Do Now

    1. Call 911 and get medical care
    2. Screenshot the Uber trip details and driver information from the app
    3. Photograph the vehicle and scene
    4. Get contact and insurance information from everyone involved
    5. Call us before giving any statement to Uber's insurer

    Deadlines and Legal Framework

    Uber's insurance coverage generally scales with the driver's app status: limited coverage when the app is on but no ride is matched, and up to $1 million in liability coverage once a ride is accepted or underway. Confirming which period applies is often the key to your claim.

    Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

    We see these missteps regularly in Colbert uber accidents cases. Avoiding them protects your claim.

    1. Not saving your trip receipt or app screenshots
    2. Giving a recorded statement before calling us
    3. Assuming only one insurance policy applies
    4. Delaying medical treatment

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who pays if my Uber driver caused the accident?

    +

    It depends on the driver's app status — Uber's commercial policy may apply if they were en route to or during a trip, while a lesser policy or their personal insurance may apply otherwise.

    I was a pedestrian hit by an Uber driver — do I have a claim?

    +

    Yes, if negligence is proven. Depending on the driver's app status, Uber's insurance, the driver's personal policy, or both may be responsible.

    What if the Uber driver was between rides when the crash happened?

    +

    Uber typically provides limited contingent coverage in that period, which can still leave a gap — we review your options, including your own insurance, to close it.
