Frequently Asked Questions About Uber Accidents
Can you sue Uber if you get in an accident as a passenger?
Yes, as an Uber passenger, you can sue for damages if you are injured in an accident, although it’s often more complex than a typical car accident lawsuit. You can file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance, Uber’s insurance policy, or both, and may also be able to sue the Uber driver directly if damages exceed insurance limits.
Who can be held liable?
- The Uber driver: If the accident was caused by the Uber driver’s negligence (e.g., speeding, distracted driving), they could be liable.
- Another driver: If a third-party driver caused the accident, you can seek compensation from their insurance company.
- Uber: While suing Uber directly can be challenging due to its “independent contractor” model, you can file a claim against its insurance policy, which is designed to cover passengers.
Consulting a rideshare accident lawyer is highly recommended to navigate liability and secure compensation.
How much is the settlement for Uber accident?
Uber accident settlements vary widely based on the specifics of each case:
The final settlement depends on several factors, including injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and Uber’s insurance coverage. The Simon Law Group has recovered over $600 million for clients, and we’ll fight to maximize your settlement.
How much does Uber pay if you get into a car accident?
Uber’s insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:
- Driver logged into app waiting for ride: Uber’s limited liability policy applies: $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident for bodily injury
- Driver not logged in: The driver’s personal auto insurance applies. Uber’s policy does not cover the accident.
- During ride (pickup to drop-off): $1 million liability coverage plus uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Understanding which coverage applies to your situation is critical for maximizing your claim. Our experienced attorneys will determine which policy applies and fight for full compensation.
Is it worth getting an attorney for a car accident?
Yes, it’s highly recommended to hire an attorney for a car accident, especially for Uber and rideshare accidents. Here’s why:
- Complex liability: Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto victims to reduce or deny payouts
- Navigating insurance: You may have to deal with multiple insurance policies and companies
- Maximizing compensation: An experienced lawyer can help ensure you receive fair compensation
- Thorough investigation: Attorneys conduct detailed investigations to build your case
With over 250 years of combined experience and proven results, The Simon Law Group will fight for maximum compensation for your injuries.
What does “Every 8 Minutes” mean when it comes to Uber?
“Every 8 minutes” refers to the shocking frequency at which sexual assaults are reported to Uber – on average, one every 8 minutes.
The Facts:
- Uber admitted to receiving more than 400,000 reports of sexual assault or sexual misconduct between 2017-2022
- This equals approximately one report every 8 minutes over that 6-year period
- The company has been criticized for its handling of these reports and failure to protect passengers
Despite these alarming statistics, Uber continues to downplay safety concerns and is now attempting to prevent crash victims from seeking legal recourse. The Simon Law Group is fighting back on behalf of all Uber victims – those who have experienced sexual assault AND those who have been injured in accidents.
Media Attention: The “#Every8Minutes” statistic has gained national attention through media coverage and television commercials exposing Uber’s safety crisis. As awareness grows about the scale of these problems, more victims are coming forward to seek justice.
