Uber/ Lyft Driver Injury

I Was Injured While Driving For Uber, AM I ENTITLED TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION?

If you are a driver who was injured in an accident while driving for Uber or Lyft, you should consider speaking with an Uber accident attorney.

What Can An Uber Accident Attorney Do For You?

It is no secret that a car accident can cause serious injuries. Many auto accident victims trust that their insurance company will pay for their financial losses, including medical expenses, but every insurance policy has limits. The sad reality is that when an Uber driver is seriously injured, it doesn’t take long for those limits to be reached, resulting in unfair compensation.

Common Car Accident Injuries And The Average Cost Of Care

Even before an accident victim receives the care they need, expenses begin to add up. The average cost of an ambulance ride is between $500-$2000.

Here’s how much it costs to treat the most common accident injuries:

  • Spinal Cord Injury: The cost of care for a spinal cord injury depends on the severity of the injury and the age of the patient. Per the Reeve Foundation, medical care will cost between $1,217,226 and $5,162,152.
  • Brain Injury: Over a lifetime, it costs between $85,000 and $3,000,000 to treat a traumatic brain injury.
  • Burns: Burn victims frequently suffer from complications that require additional medical care. On average, a burn victim spends 73 days in the hospital. Severe burns can cost between $1,600,000 and $10,000,000 in lifetime care.
  • Amputation: The loss of a limb or digit is life-altering. Medical expenses average between $81,316 and $509,275.

Keep in mind that these ranges cover medical expenses only. They do not address the loss of wages, physical pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.

To make matters worse, insurance companies train their adjusters to seek ways to deny or limit claims. Without help from an Uber accident attorney, it can be close to impossible to obtain fair, or any compensation.

Uber Insurance Policy Limits In California

If a driver has the Uber app off and is not accepting rides, then their insurance policy will cover them.

If the app is turned on, then there are three “periods” that define how much insurance coverage applies if an accident occurs.

Period 1

Period 1 occurs when a driver has switched on the app but has not yet accepted a ride. Policy limits during period one are:

  • $50,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per person injured in an accident
  • $100,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per accident
  • $30,000 of property damage liability coverage per accident

Period 2 and Period 3

Once a driver has accepted a ride, they are in Period 2. When the passenger(s) have been picked up, they are in Period 3. The insurance limits during these two periods are as follows:

In both Periods 2 and 3, Uber provides drivers with:

  • $1 million in commercial auto insurance
  • $1 million in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

This coverage amount might seem generous, however, insurance companies work hard to deny claims and limit coverage.

Do Uber Drivers Have Legal Rights After An Accident?

Every Uber driver has the right to fight for the compensation they deserve. Compensation may come from insurance payouts and/or damages awarded through a personal injury lawsuit.

Our Uber accident attorneys can help you recover compensation that will pay for past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, and more. Our legal team will carefully review the accident and provide you with a clear understanding of your legal rights. Our attorneys will handle the communication between Uber, the insurance companies, and all involved parties.

It’s best to work closely with an attorney who has previously handled Uber accident cases, as the laws regarding rideshare accidents are fairly new and can be complicated.
