How Uberā€™s Commercial Insurance Policy WorksĀ 

Accidents involving Uber drivers present various complexities. This is because Uber does not consider Uber drivers as employees. Drivers are instead classified as independent contractors. While New York law requires Uber and other rideshare companies to maintain a commercial car insurance policy to cover their drivers, it may not cover your accident. Even if Uberā€™s insurance policy covers your accident, the amount of coverage available will depend on the circumstances of the accident, such as the status of the Uber driver at the time of the accident. Below are some key factors about how Uber insurance works.Ā 

  • If the accident was caused by the Uber driver while they were ferrying a passenger, Uberā€™s insurance policy provides coverage of up to $1.25 million. The insurance policy covers injuries as well as property damage to third parties, including pedestrians, other drivers and the passengers in the vehicle.Ā 
  • Uberā€™s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage covers up to $50,000 for injuries where the Uber driver was at fault.Ā 
  • Uberā€™s insurance policy provides up to $1.25 million in uninsured motorist coverage for the occupants of an Uber vehicle in cases where an uninsured or underinsured driver caused the accident.Ā 
  • The accident occurred while the Uber driver was logged out of the app, i.e. driving for personal reasons, Uberā€™s insurance policy does not apply. You would have to seek compensation from the Uber driverā€™s personal car insurance policy if they were at fault.Ā 
  • If another party is at fault, their insurance policy will apply.Ā

Frequently Asked Questions about Uber Accidents in Long IslandĀ 

Can an Uber passenger sue for compensation?

It depends. New York applies no-fault laws to car accident claims. This means that if you are able to receive Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits from your own car insurance policy, your rights to sue will be limited. However, if you donā€™t have a car insurance policy and are injured in an accident while you are an Uber driver, you can sue for compensation.

The party you sue for compensation will depend on who was at fault. If another driver was responsible for the accident, you can sue them for your injuries. If your Uber driver was responsible for the accident, you have the right to sue the driver. This will allow you to recover compensation from their car insurance policy.

New York law requires Uber and other ridesharing companies to carry insurance that covers their drivers. This insurance kicks in when the driver is on the job, e.g. when carrying a passenger. The insurance will cover the cost of damages not covered by the at-fault driverā€™s insurance. Therefore, if the accident was caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you can seek compensation from Uberā€™s insurance cover.

How can I recover compensation after an Uber accident on Long Island?

If you were injured in an Uber accident in New York, you will have various options for recovering compensation depending on the circumstances of your accident. Some of the options available to accident victims include:

1. Personal insuranceā€”this includes PIP insurance as well as personal health insurance
2. The at-fault driverā€™s insurance policyā€”this includes the Uber driverā€™s car insurance policy if they were at fault
3. Uberā€™s commercial insurance coverage

Recovering compensation for damages in an Uber accident can be complex. It is advisable to seek the guidance and representation of an experienced Uber injury attorney in Elmhurst, NY. Our attorneys are experienced and knowledgeable in representing victims of rideshare accidents. We will explore all the options available to you and provide you with an effective strategy to recover maximum compensation for your damages.

What is Personal Injury?

If youā€™re injured as a result of a negligent third party, you may be entitled to compensation due to the damages youā€™ve experienced ā€” either directly through the responsible party or their insurance company. An experienced New York personal injury lawyer will focus on tort law while seeking economic and non-economic damages for their clients ā€” whether or not the target is a multi-million dollar award.

Personal injuries are classified as injuries to the body, mind, and emotions of an individual. When you suffer an injury because of another party, you experience turmoil, and your quality of life will change. Some victims experience loss of enjoyment of life, and even depression.

Itā€™s important to speak with mindful attorneys who have the wisdom to handle your case effectively. Personal injury suits are filed against individuals or entities that cause harm due to recklessness, negligence, misconduct, or liability.

What Sets Us Apart?

Our attorneys and staff are competent, compassionate, and committed to seeking the maximum fair and appropriate compensation for all of our clients. We fight to win, not to quickly settle and move on to the next case. Our firm will make sure that you are properly advised of all of your options while giving you the proper legal advice to make the right decision for yourself and your family.

Types of Personal Injury

Personal injuries can refer to injuries sustained due to dental malpractice, product liability, or assault claims, but they more commonly involve the following types of injuries:

Car Accidents

When your vehicle collides with another vehicle, a pedestrian, an animal, debris, or another stationary obstruction such as a tree, pole, or building, you may face significant injuries and expenses that often include medical treatment and vehicle repairs. Following a car accident that was no fault of your own, it is important to immediately begin working with a New York personal injury lawyer to seek fair and appropriate compensation.

Truck Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents involving a truck or tractor-trailer and caused by the recklessness of others will present additional complex factors that are not present in a regular car accident case. You can be certain that there will be attorneys representing the truck driver, which is why you should partner with a New York personal injury lawyer at our law office immediately.

Motorcycle Accidents

When your motorcycle is involved in a motor vehicle accident at no fault of your own, you will need help in your fight to be fairly compensated in your case. As a client of our law firm, you can be confident that we are bringing the fight to the insurance company.

Premises Liability

An injury from an accident caused by unsafe conditions on someone elseā€™s property often involves a fall on a slippery or uneven surface. Other types of negligence or dangerous circumstances may also lead to an injury or death. In some cases, your accident could amount to a multi-million dollar settlement. Our law office of NY accident attorneys will be happy to guide you through this process as our client.

Dog Bite

Dog owners are generally determined to be liable if their dog hurts you or anyone else. New York personal injury law in this situation provides a means to seek compensation for your medical expenses, your pain and suffering, & much more.

Slip and Fall

A property owner could be liable for damages if you slip, trip, and fall on their property due to their negligence. Working with a qualified New York personal injury lawyer in this situation is important because the Queens, Nassau County, Suffolk County, or Long Island property owner that you file a claim against will certainly be represented by law firms who are trying to dismiss or settle your case for as little as possible.

Construction Accidents

An injury sustained due to working on a construction site can be life-changing or deadly. In many cases, such an injury will prevent your ability to continue working for some duration of time. Workersā€™ compensation is available for these types of accidents. Depending on the details of your case, you may also be able to file a lawsuit.

Wrongful Death

Death caused by negligence or intentional actions of another party is known as wrongful death. The NY accident attorneys at our law office are experienced in these cases and are ready to help you fight for the money you need.

Medical Malpractice

When you work with a licensed medical professional, you have every right to expect that they will take prudent and cautious steps to help you work towards a successful recovery. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The New York personal injury attorneys at our law firm are ready to help you fight for fair compensation.

What types of compensation can be received in a personal injury case?

There are several types of compensable damages that can be received including money for lost wages and career change, property damage compensation, health aids, and home rehabilitation to accommodate for the injuries sustained.
