Who Is Responsible After an Uber Accident?
Uber accidents involve multiple layers of potential liability, depending on who was driving, when the accident occurred, and what insurance policies apply. In many cases, there are three possible coverage scenarios based on the Uber driver’s status:
- App Off: Only the driver’s personal insurance applies
- App On but No Ride Accepted: Uber provides limited liability coverage
- En Route to Pickup or During Ride: Uber provides up to $1 million in commercial coverage
If you were injured during an active Uber ride or as a pedestrian struck by a working Uber driver, we help determine which policy applies and pursue maximum compensation.

Injuries from Uber Crashes Can Be Serious
Many rideshare accidents occur in busy traffic or at high speeds. Common injuries include:
- Neck and back injuries
- Head trauma and concussions
- Whiplash

Even if your injuries seem minor, insurance companies may downplay your claim. At Graves Law, we ensure your injuries are fully documented and valued.

If you were hurt in an Uber crash, you may be eligible to recover:
- Medical bills and rehabilitation expenses
- Lost wages and future income losses

We build strong claims based on evidence and negotiate directly with the insurance companies—whether Uber’s insurer or another driver’s provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get medical attention, report the accident to Uber, and contact a lawyer immediately. Do not rely on the app to protect your legal rights.
Depending on the driver’s status, it may be Uber’s $1 million commercial policy, the driver’s personal insurer, or another at-fault driver. We help identify the correct coverage.
Florida law gives you up to two years to file, but rideshare claims should be started as soon as possible to avoid disputes and evidence loss.
Uber often claims its drivers are independent contractors. In most cases, you will pursue compensation through their insurance provider, not directly against the company.
