We Handle All Types of Uber Accident Cases
We can help you understand your options for compensation after a New York Uber accident if you are:
- An Uber driver
- An Uber passenger
- A third party (e.g., another driver, a cyclist, a pedestrian) hit by an Uber driver
Uber provides insurance coverage depending on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash:
- If the Uber driver was logged into the app and waiting to match with a rider, Uber provides liability coverage, personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, and uninsured motorist coverage.
- If the driver matched with a rider or has a rider in the car, Uber provides up to $1.25 million in liability coverage, $50,000 per person in PIP coverage, and up to $1.25 million in uninsured motorist coverage.
If the Uber driver was not logged into the app, their personal insurance applies. If a third-party driver caused the accident, their insurance will apply. In many instances, both the third-party and the Uber driver’s insurance apply.
Our rideshare accident team will investigate the accident to determine which coverage applies. Call us for a free case evaluation today: 516-932-0400.
