My Uber Was in an Accident, What Do I Do?
Understanding Uber Accidents – What You Should Know
If you were injured as a passenger in an Uber accident, you may be covered up to $1 million in insurance. It is important to contact an experienced Uber accident lawyer right away to protect your rights and strengthen your claim.
At WCW Injury Lawyers, we can help you handle those insurance claims and recover compensation for injuries or damages from your accident. We understand how stressful accidents can be. Let our Uber accident lawyers in Baton Rouge take something off your plate so you can focus on recovering.
Uber’s Promise To Riders
As a passenger, Uber accepts liability and underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage from the moment your ride begins to when it ends. It is also important to note that Uber is a primary carrier as far as coverage for the accident. Meaning you do not have to exhaust any insurance coverage that you might carry before making a claim against Uber. However, if your Uber driver is at fault and has commercial auto insurance, you must exhaust those limits before claiming through Uber.
It sounds too good to be true but, Uber promises coverage regardless of who’s at fault – even if you have auto insurance. However, Uber will not cover accidents if the driver isn’t using the app or acts intentionally recklessly.
Also, Uber’s promise to cover up to $1 million in damages for any accident does not extend to any UberBLACK, UberSUV, or UberTaxi ride. Those rides are covered by their own commercial carrier policies. This leaves you with at least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident in coverage for your damages.
To ensure you handle everything correctly, speak with one of our experienced rideshare accident lawyers. They will guide you through the entire process, including making claims, protecting your rights, and seeking compensation. WCW’s Uber accident lawyers in Baton Rouge help you fight for the justice you deserve so you can recover with minimal stress.
