❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Who 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.
2I 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.
3What 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.
⚖️ Legal Information
If you were hit by an Uber driver as a third party, you’re not limited to the driver’s personal insurance — Uber’s commercial coverage may apply depending on their app status at the time. Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) still applies.
Whether Uber’s $1 million policy or the driver’s personal insurance applies can make an enormous difference in what you recover. We push for the correct coverage from day one, not whatever an adjuster offers first.
