Uber and Lyft Car Accident: Uber’s Policy and Liability Insurance
-
To avoid responsibility for any injuries caused in a crash, Uber designates its drivers as “independent contractors” instead of “workers.” However, commercial liability insurance for passengers is provided for up to $1 million for each ride.
-
Uber distinguishes itself from taxi cab businesses by defining itself as a technology provider rather than transportation or automotive service. This distinction enables Uber to shift the blame to its drivers again and makes it more challenging for accident victims to file complaints or claims with Uber.
-
Uber is infamous for being difficult to call. By email or social media, victims may get in touch with Uber customer service or one of its partners, but even those methods are notoriously unreliable. Our lawyers have the skills and means to communicate with Uber and its drivers.
-
All Transportation TNCs, including Uber, must comply with California law’s standards for insurance coverage. The business now offers $50,000, $100,000, or $25,000 in supplemental coverage in between trips.
-
Pedestrians, bikers, and other drivers who sustain injuries are also entitled to significant financial compensation. In addition to Uber’s excess coverage, victims who are not passengers may still be entitled to compensation under the driver’s insurance plan.

-
What happens if an accident’s damages surpass the driver’s insurance coverage? What or who fills this insurance void? Is the victim forced to rely on their own resources?
