If you’ve been injured in an Uber-related accident, you may be eligible to file a claim depending on your role in the incident. Uber passengers who suffer injuries while riding in an Uber are covered under Uber’s $1 million insurance policy, which applies when a ride is active. For other drivers or pedestrians struck by an Uber vehicle, compensation may come from Uber’s insurance or the Uber driver’s personal auto insurance policy, depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash.
Additionally, Uber drivers who are injured in accidents caused by another driver while working may file a claim against the at-fault driver. They may also be eligible to seek coverage through Uber’s policy if they were logged into the app or actively transporting a passenger. At West Coast Defense, we work with all parties affected by rideshare accidents—passengers, pedestrians, and drivers alike—to ensure they receive fair and full compensation for their injuries and losses.
