Let Us Navigate Uber’s Insurance Policy for You
Accidents that involve Uber vehicles add a wrinkle to the typical car accident case. Uber’s insurance policy may cover the accident, but coverage depends on who caused the accident, as well as the Uber driver’s status at the time of the crash.
If you work with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we will sort through the insurance and legal issues for you. You focus on recovering from your injuries.
Here is a quick run-down of how the Uber insurance policy works in New York State*:
- If the Uber driver caused the accident, the Uber insurance policy may provide liability coverage of up to $1.25 million. It covers injuries and property damage to third parties, including other drivers and pedestrians as well as occupants of the Uber vehicle.
- Uber maintains personal injury protection (PIP)coverage of $50,000. It covers occupants of the Uber vehicle as well as pedestrians or bicyclists struck by the insured Uber vehicle.
- The Uber policy includes uninsured motorist coverage of up to $1.25 million. It covers occupants of the Uber vehicle if an uninsured or underinsured third-party driver caused the accident.
- If the Uber driver was driving for personal reasons, then the Uber driver’s personal insurance policy may apply.
- A third-party driver’s insurance policy might also apply depending on fault.
(* These coverage amounts may differ in the City of New York. It will be our privilege to review such considerations with you in a free case review. )
An Uber accident attorney on Long Island from our firm will sort out all these legal issues for you. We will investigate the accident, evaluate insurance coverage, and build a case to get you the compensation you need.

Do not Delay in Reaching Out to Our Team to Discuss Your Case
Like all states, New York has a set limit on the amount of time you have to file a personal injury case in civil court. Per New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules (CVP) §214, the clock starts ticking the day the accident occurred.
If you lost a loved one in the accident, please accept our deepest sympathies. Per Estates, Powers & Trusts (EPT) §5-4.1, the statute of limitations to bring a wrongful death action begins on the day of the decedent’s (your loved one’s) death. Of course, there are some exceptions to these statutory deadlines.
A lawyer from our firm who handles accident cases involving Uber on Long Island can investigate the details of your case and determine if this deadline is applicable. Allow our team to handle every aspect of your case from start to finish while you focus on your family and your recovery. We will ensure all pertinent documents are filed on time in the courts, so you do not lose your chance to pursue compensation.
