Uber and other rideshare companies have completely changed the way that people get places, especially in large cities. Dallas is no exception, and Uber is a popular choice for passengers who need a ride. In a recent financial report, Uber reported that its drivers operated about 28 million trips per day.

Determining Liability In Uber Accident Cases
Liability in Uber accidents can potentially lie with a few different parties. First, your Uber driver may be responsible if their negligence caused the crash. Additionally, Uber may also be liable if the driver was on duty and working on Uber’s behalf at the time of the accident. It is also possible that neither your Uber driver nor Uber have any responsibility. A third-party driver could be liable for the accident, thus they would be responsible for any injuries caused as a result of the accident. Bush & Bush Law Group can help investigate your Uber accident and determine who was at fault. Give us a call today for a free consultation.
Insurance Coverage For Uber Accidents
Due to the complex liability issues that can arise during Uber accident cases, insurance coverage can also be tricky. There are three different situations that can apply, and insurance coverage provided by Uber to their drivers varies in each of these circumstances. First, if the driver is offline with the app closed, no insurance coverage is provided by Uber. This means that the driver would need to use their personal liability coverage to handle any accidents they cause.
Next, if the driver is online but waiting for a request, a small amount of coverage is provided by Uber. Typically, this coverage will pay for up to $50,000 in damages to each injured person, and it can be used on top of the driver’s personal liability coverage. Finally, if the driver is en route to pick up a passenger or is actively transporting a passenger, Uber provides up to $1 million in liability coverage. Given the complex nature of these cases, you need an attorney who knows the law and knows how to deal with the insurance companies. Give our office a call today to put our experience to work for you.
