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.

Steps to Take After an Uber Accident

  • Seek Medical Attention: Your health is paramount. Even if injuries seem minor, get evaluated.
  • Report the Accident: Notify law enforcement and ensure an official report is filed.
  • Document Everything: Take photos of the scene, gather witness information, and note details about the Uber ride.
  • Report to Uber: Use the app to report the incident, ensuring there’s a record with the company.
  • Consult an Attorney: Before speaking with insurance adjusters, seek legal advice to protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions About Uber Accidents

Does it matter if my Uber app was on during the crash?

Yes. Your app status (off, waiting, en route, or on a trip) can affect which insurance coverage may apply.

Should I report the crash in the Uber or delivery app?

Generally, reporting promptly helps create a record. Save screenshots and note the time, location, and trip details.

Can more than one insurance policy apply to a Uber crash?

Often, yes. Depending on the situation, personal auto insurance, the platform’s coverage, and another driver’s policy may all be involved.

What evidence is most helpful after a Uber accident?

Photos, witness contact info, a police report number, medical visit notes, and app screenshots showing your status and trip details.

What should I avoid saying to an insurance adjuster?

Avoid guessing about fault or injuries. Stick to basic facts and consider getting advice before providing a recorded statement.

When should I speak with a Maryland Uber accident lawyer?

If coverage is unclear, injuries affect work, or insurers dispute responsibility, a consult can help you understand options and next steps.
