Injured in an Uber Accident?

Rideshare services like Uber have transformed transportation in Baltimore and across Maryland.

Understanding Uber’s Insurance Coverage
Uber’s insurance policy varies depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:
- App Off (Period 0): When the driver is not logged into the Uber app, their personal auto insurance is the only coverage available.
- App On, No Ride Accepted (Period 1): Uber provides limited liability coverage:
- $50,000 per person for bodily injury
- $100,000 per accident for bodily injury
- $25,000 for property damage
- Ride Accepted or In Progress (Periods 2 & 3): Uber offers:
- $1 million in third-party liability coverage
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage
- Contingent comprehensive and collision coverage, if the driver has personal coverage
Understanding these coverage periods is crucial in determining the compensation you’re entitled to.
Common Scenarios in Uber Accidents
Uber-related accidents can involve various parties and situations:
- Passengers Injured in an Uber: If you’re a passenger during an accident, Uber’s insurance typically covers your injuries.
- Drivers or Passengers in Other Vehicles: If an Uber driver causes an accident while on duty, Uber’s insurance may cover the damages.
- Pedestrians or Cyclists Hit by an Uber: Depending on the driver’s status, either Uber’s or the driver’s personal insurance may apply.
Each case is unique, and determining liability requires a thorough investigation.
