In large cities, commuters have long relied on cabs as an alternative to driving or taking mass transit, and companies like Uber and Lyft have transformed how people get around. What they have not changed is that driving leads to accidents. Even the most gifted driver can injure someone through a momentary lapse or error. Because this is still a developing area of the law, collecting for insurance purposes can be tricky to navigate, and that is where an attorney who handles insurance matters day to day makes a practical difference.
Lead attorney on every case we take, backed by a dedicated legal team you work with directly.
Uber has a system for reporting accidents and instructs its drivers to report them, and the company carries a liability policy typically up to one million dollars per accident covering property damage and physical injuries, depending on where the accident took place. If you are not the Uber driver but another driver on the road, the question of whose insurance responds is far less clear. Do you seek relief from the driver's personal policy, and what happens when that carrier denies coverage? You can try to hold Uber accountable, though Uber vehemently denies any managerial role over its drivers and claims to be merely the means of communication, a position many in the legal and insurance fields do not look on favorably.
