Who May Be Liable for Your Injuries After an Uber Accident
The party from whom you can pursue compensation depends on the status of the Uber driver at the time of the crash. According to Uber:
- If the app is off, then the driver’s personal auto insurance will cover your losses.
- If the app was on and the driver was waiting for a ride, Uber’s liability policy would come into play.
- If the driver was on his way to pick up passengers or in the middle of a ride, then Uber’s rideshare liability would also apply.
There may be challenges when building your case. For example, Uber can claim they cannot be held responsible for the individual driver’s behaviors or actions. Similarly, Uber may deny liability if the driver was reckless, drunk, or generally negligent.
Uber may claim he is not a full-time company employee but is, instead, an independent contractor. In this situation, you may be forced to file your claim with the Uber driver’s personal insurance company.
