If you were hurt in a crash involving an Uber driver — either as a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian — you may have a claim for compensation. What makes Uber accidents more complicated than standard car crashes is the involvement of Uber’s layered insurance system, which changes depending on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.
When an Uber driver is actively transporting a passenger, Uber’s $1 million commercial liability policy typically applies. But when the app is off, only the driver’s personal insurance may be in effect. Determining which policy applies — and getting the insurance company to pay — can be difficult without legal help.
Our team can help review the facts of your case, obtain Uber’s trip data, and figure out what coverage may be available to help you recover damages.
Kissimmee’s popularity as a tourist destination puts it right in the middle of one of Florida’s busiest rideshare corridors. From visitors staying near U.S. 192 to families heading to the theme parks or local resorts, thousands of Uber rides happen daily — and with that, accidents can and do occur.
High-traffic areas like Vine Street, John Young Parkway, and Osceola Parkway see frequent congestion, which increases the risk of collisions. Add in distracted driving, fatigue from long hours behind the wheel, and navigation errors, and it’s no surprise that Uber crashes happen regularly in the area.
If you were involved in an accident involving an Uber, here’s what you should do:
The sooner you speak with a lawyer, the better your chances could be of preserving key evidence and protecting your rights.
Uber accidents in the Kissimmee area range from minor fender benders to high-speed collisions. We’ve worked with clients who suffered:
Even if your injury doesn’t seem severe at first, it could worsen over time. That’s why it’s often important to seek treatment and legal advice early on.
The value of your claim may depend on several factors, including the extent of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, any lost wages, and the impact the crash has had on your life. Florida law generally allows injury victims to pursue compensation for economic and non-economic damages — which may include pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and long-term disability.
Insurance companies may try to settle quickly, often before you know the full extent of your injuries. Before accepting a settlement, talk with a lawyer who can give you a clear understanding of what your case might actually be worth.
That depends on the situation. If you were a passenger and the Uber driver caused the crash, Uber’s insurance is usually responsible. If another driver caused the crash, their policy may apply — but Uber’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage might still help. If you were a pedestrian or cyclist hit by an Uber vehicle, the available coverage depends on whether the driver was actively working for Uber at the time.
Because these cases can involve multiple insurance companies pointing fingers at each other, having an attorney on your side may improve your chances of recovering the full amount you’re owed.
