Chances are you’ve used Uber before. And, if you’ve ever used Uber, you undoubtedly understand the appeal and convenience. But that convenience can suddenly take a turn, resulting in an accident. If this is the case, you probably have questions like who pays for your medical bills? What about lost wages or other expenses?

While Uber drivers are required to carry specific insurance coverage and are often covered under Uber’s insurance, figuring out what insurance applies is not easy. Understanding the insurance policy requirements for Uber drivers in Los Angeles is crucial to determining what coverage applies and how to effectively seek compensation for your injuries. That’s where having an experienced attorney at My Guy Cy in your corner can make all the difference.

Our team of skilled lawyers understands the complexities of Uber accident cases and is dedicated to helping people like you recover the compensation they deserve. We know how to take on Big Tech companies like Uber and will fight to protect your rights every step of the way.

What Insurance Covers Uber Passengers in a Crash?

Los Angeles drivers have coverage when they are actively on the job for Uber. In other words, Uber’s insurance should cover the accident if you are a passenger during an Uber ride.

During the ride, Uber should provide significant coverage, including potential:

  • Third-Party Liability Insurance: Covers damages to others caused by the driver
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Protects you if another driver involved in the accident doesn’t have adequate insurance

While this is good news, the process is anything but easy. Uber is a Big Tech company with plenty of resources to defend against liability claims, and insurance companies are not known for making things easy. However, that’s not an issue for My Guy Cy, where our diligent attorneys know how to navigate these challenges and fight for the compensation our clients deserve.

What Questions Should You Be Asking?

You probably have questions if you’re a passenger involved in an Uber collision. You might be asking:

Who Is Responsible for Covering My Medical Bills?

The answer depends on the circumstances of the crash and who is found to be at fault. Uber’s insurance typically covers passengers, but there may be disputes about liability.

What If the Other Driver Caused the Accident?

If another driver is at fault, their insurance may be responsible. However, Uber’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may kick in if the at-fault driver does not have sufficient insurance.

What Compensation Am I Entitled To?

You may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Calculating and proving these damages requires legal knowledge and experience, making it crucial to have a seasoned attorney advocating for your best interests.
