HOW WE WORK

Frequently Asked Questions About Uber Accident Claims.

Uber-related crashes are legally different from typical accidents. Here’s what riders, drivers, and victims need to know:

  • Who pays for my injuries after an Uber accident?

    It depends on whether the Uber driver was logged into the app and what phase of the ride they were in. Uber provides layered coverage that kicks in at different stages. We’ll help you determine which insurance applies.

  • What should I do immediately after an Uber crash?

    Get medical attention, take screenshots of your ride status, gather contact info from all parties, and report the incident through the Uber app. Then, contact a lawyer to protect your rights.

  • Can I sue Uber directly?

    Possibly—but not always. Uber classifies drivers as independent contractors, which may limit direct lawsuits. However, their $1 million insurance coverage is often accessible if the driver was working at the time.

  • What if I was hit by an Uber driver while walking or driving?

    You may still have a valid claim under Uber’s policy depending on the driver’s app status. We’ll investigate and pursue compensation from all eligible sources.

  • Do I need a lawyer for an Uber accident claim?

    Yes. Uber’s insurance process is highly specific and designed to protect them—not you. We handle these cases regularly and won’t let you get underpaid or ignored.
