Overview

An Uber accident comes with a wrinkle most car accidents don’t: which insurance policy actually applies depends on exactly what the app was doing at the moment of the crash. We sort that out immediately, so a confusing tier system doesn’t cost you the compensation you’re owed.

Why This Practice Area Matters

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.

Common Causes

  • 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

Compensation You May Recover

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Property Damage
  • Future Medical Care

Case Guide

Uber accident cases require establishing the driver's exact app status at the time of the crash, since that determines which insurance policy applies. We request trip data early and pursue every layer of coverage available.

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.
