What Can Happen Due To An Uber Accident?
Uber drivers are just like the rest of us – they can make driving mistakes, and they can be struck by negligent drivers. We know vehicle crashes are a reality in Pennsylvania. During the Latest Reporting Year, there were more than 128,000 vehicle crashes that caused more than 80,000 injuries.
While we realize that most crash injuries are minor, that does not mean they are cheap. Minor injuries can cause serious financial hardship. Major Personal Injuries can lead to enormous expenses and time away from work, increasing the financial burden on crash victims and their families.
- Uber crashes happen. The question is where to turn when they do.
How Does the Insurance Work?
This is not an easy question to answer because it really depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash. You may find that you are dealing with (battling) a driver’s personal insurance company as well as Uber’s insurance company.
- If a driver is signed into the app and has a passenger or is on the way to get a passenger, then Uber $1 million policy is in place to cover the driver, their passengers, and anyone else involved in the crash (other vehicle passengers, pedestrians, etc.).
- If a driver is signed into the app and is waiting to be alerted to a passenger pickup, then their personal insurance company is the primary insurer in a crash. Uber’s insurance (less than their $1 million policy) will only kick in if the primary insurer denies a claim or does not cover all of the expenses.
- If a driver is not signed into the Uber app to work, their primary insurer is responsible for all expenses related to a crash.
