How Uber’s Insurance Works

Uber’s insurance coverage depends on the “period” of the ride:

1. Period 1 (App On, Waiting for a Ride)

• Limited liability coverage ($50,000 per person/$100,000 per incident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage).

• Drivers generally must rely on their personal or rideshare-specific policy for collision or comprehensive claims.

2. Period 2 (Driver Accepts a Trip, En Route to Passenger)

• Up to $1 million in liability coverage, plus $1 million in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

• Contingent collision and comprehensive (up to the vehicle’s cash value, $1,000 deductible) may apply—though you’ll likely need proof you were in this stage of the ride.

3. Period 3 (Passenger in the Vehicle)

• Coverage generally remains at $1 million for liability and uninsured/underinsured motorist, along with contingent collision and comprehensive coverage.

• As a passenger, you are often considered an “innocent party,” which can strengthen your claim.

Common Uber Accident Scenarios

• Passenger Injuries

Injured passengers may have a clear claim against the at-fault driver (Uber or otherwise). However, resolving insurance coverage issues can be complex—especially if the driver disputes which period applied.

• Struck by an Uber

Pedestrians, cyclists, or other drivers hit by an Uber driver may have a right to compensation, but proving the driver was “on app” at the time is essential for accessing higher policy limits.

• Driver vs. Another Motorist

When another driver is at fault, the Uber driver may pursue the at-fault party’s insurance—or potentially rely on Uber’s uninsured/underinsured coverage if the other driver’s policy is insufficient.

Steps to Take After an Uber Accident

1. Check for Injuries & Call 911

• Ensure everyone’s safety, and document any injuries—no matter how minor they seem.

2. Gather Information

• Take photos, note license plates, request contact info from witnesses, and capture screenshots of your Uber app to confirm which period applied.

3. Seek Medical Attention

• Prompt treatment ensures your injuries are documented, which is crucial for a personal injury claim.

4. Consult an Attorney

• Engaging an experienced Uber accident lawyer early helps protect your interests and streamline negotiations with insurance companies.

Potential Damages

• Medical Expenses (current and future)

• Lost Wages & Diminished Earning Capacity

• Pain & Suffering

• Property Damage

• Wrongful Death Damages (in fatal accidents)

Because Uber provides up to $1 million in coverage for certain rideshare periods, victims may be entitled to more comprehensive compensation than in a typical auto accident. However, pursuing that compensation often requires vigorous legal advocacy.
