Yes, you may still have a claim even if the Uber driver wasnāt at fault. For example, if another driver caused the accident, you can file a claim against that driverās insurance. Uberās insurance may also provide coverage under certain circumstances, such as when the driver is actively transporting passengers.
If you were a pedestrian or cyclist injured in an accident involving an Uber driver, you may be entitled to compensation. The driverās personal insurance or Uberās liability insurance may cover your medical expenses and other damages, depending on the driverās status at the time of the accident.
When the Uber driver is ‘offline’ (not logged into the app), they are covered by their personal auto insurance, not Uberās policy. This means that if you are injured in an accident during this time, you would need to file a claim with the driverās personal insurance.
Generally, Uber is not liable for accidents caused by its drivers because drivers are considered independent contractors, not employees. However, exceptions may apply if Uberās negligence contributed to the accident, such as failing to properly vet drivers or address known safety issues.
Yes, rideshare accidents often involve additional complexities, such as determining the driverās status (active trip, en route, or offline) and navigating layered insurance policies.
