Injured as a passenger in an Uber Ride?

Our Uber accident lawyers have decades of experience helping accident victims across the nation obtain justice and compensation. An experienced Uber crash lawyer is ready and waiting to put years of experience to work for you.

Despite that, ride-share services such as Uber’s popularity has boomed all over America. Unfortunately, thousands of passengers are injured each year in accidents caused by Uber. If you or a loved one are injured, you might be entitled to monetary compensation — but getting the cash you need is not always straightforward. Pursuing your right to fair compensation can be one of the most crucial things you ever do if you were severely injured.

Medical bills can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars — and you may be and you might not be able to work for several weeks, months, or perhaps forever.Insurance companies may struggle mightily to cover less than your case’s total cost. An experienced attorney knows how to price your case to ensure you receive a fair amount to cover the entire value of your injuries.

If Uber is found responsible, its insurers are likely to push back harder than they would under typical policies. When there is more money at stake, insurers will generally do more to avoid being held liable. For example, in New York City the law allows for shared blame between the at-fault parties, it also allows for a reduced award of compensation from the at-fault parties should you share the blame. It is imperative to speak with an attorney to protect your legal rights and find out what the laws are in the state the accident occurred.

Uber provides convenient, worry-free transportation options to millions of people throughout the United States. With a tap of a button on a smartphone, users can find a ride and get going — and payments are automated, too. When it comes to getting compensation following an Uber crash, all of this simplicity goes out the window.

In the past, crash victims did not know who might be responsible for the Uber crash. Uber denies responsibility since Uber drivers are classified as independent contractors. On the other hand, the driver’s insurer may have avoided liability if policies did not cover business-to-business driving activities.

Uber insurance requirements have been getting firmer over recent years. Uber is now required to buy an insurance policy that will cover injury compensation to crash victims. The availability of this policy depends on the Uber driver’s condition at the time of the crash.

When an accident occurs with Uber, you can pursue damages against any person that contributed to the crash, like the driver of the other car, the pedestrian, a motorcyclist, etc. 

Who is Responsible for Compensating After An Uber Accident?

Uber Comprehensive Insurance Policy is available when the Uber Driver has accepted a request to take you on a ride or is carrying a passenger on board. Uber is required to offer coverage up to $1.25 million for injuries, deaths, and property damage.

If an Uber driver is responsible, it is still your responsibility to prove it. If an Uber driver at-fault insurance policy would offer any cover, this cover must apply first. It also may be necessary to first submit a coverage claim to the insurer of the vehicle itself, per most states’ non-fault insurance laws. Uber’s $1.25 million insurance policy is there to cover the difference — since, as is usually the case, a private auto insurance policy will cover only a fraction of the real costs.

The Uber insurance policy limits will kick in once the Uber driver signs on to the app. Again, the Uber insurance company will only cover damages that exceed those covered by the rest of the policies that are available. If a driver is not signed in to Uber at all, then the incident is treated the same as any other auto accident. Each side will first seek their insurance policies for coverage. Then, a crash victim may seek damages from the at-fault driver for the most severe injuries.

In some cases of Uber accidents, another driver, or even pedestrian, can have caused the accident. You also might have the right to collect damages from these parties and their insurance companies. Uber drivers are people, just like everyone else.

However, when trying to identify what caused the Uber crash, one crucial distinction must be remembered: Some Uber drivers are spending all day transporting passengers across a city. If you believe that the carelessness of the driver caused your automobile accident, contact us. Even if you were not paying close attention, we are here to listen and investigate to see how the crash happened.

Every accident is different — but one common thread runs through them all. The victims typically require medical care, which can be costly, painful, and long-lasting. You should receive fair compensation when another person puts you in a situation where you need medical care. Our personal injury lawyers can help. You never know the effect that a single accident can have on your life.

Even if you miss just a few weeks, bills will pile up fast. It is important to track those expenses so that you can use them when building your claim at a later date.

If an Uber accident resulted in injury to you while a passenger, contact our attorneys by calling (888) 491-0444.

Not every injury claim results in a lawsuit.

In fact, you have only the right to file suit if you suffered “serious bodily harm”. You might be astonished to learn that numerous injuries which eventually recover are considered severe under the law.
