How Do I Get Compensated If My Uber Driver Caused My Accident?

It’s important to note that not all Uber wrecks are caused by ridesharing service’s drivers while they’re transporting a client; however, some of these accidents are caused by an Uber driver’s negligence.

What’s interesting enough about these scenarios is that they actually can be particularly complicated from a legal standpoint. This is because the responsible party that will end up actually compensating you for your injuries/damages will largely depend upon the way in which the Uber driver was utilizing Uber’s app at the time of the accident.

If the Uber driver caused the accident, compensation may come from:


Uber’s insurance:

Depending on the driver’s status (active ride, en route to pick up, etc.), Uber’s insurance may cover medical expenses and other damages.


Driver’s personal insurance:

If Uber’s coverage doesn’t apply or is insufficient, you may need to pursue a claim with the driver’s own insurance policy.

Do I Ever Have Grounds to File a Personal Injury Claim Against Uber Directly, Rather Than Just the Uber Driver

In California, there are some cases in which you may have grounds to file a claim against Uber itself, especially if the company’s negligence played a role. This could include:


Negligent hiring or training:

If Uber hired drivers with a history of reckless behavior.


Failure to enforce safety policies:

If Uber’s policies led to unsafe driving conditions.
