How Uberās 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 Uberās 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, Uberās 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
- Uberās Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage covers up to $50,000 for injuries where the Uber driver was at fault.Ā
- Uberās 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, Uberās insurance policy does not apply. You would have to seek compensation from the Uber driverās 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
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 donāt 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 driverās insurance. Therefore, if the accident was caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you can seek compensation from Uberās insurance cover.
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 insuranceāthis includes PIP insurance as well as personal health insurance

If youāre injured as a result of a negligent third party, you may be entitled to compensation due to the damages youāve 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.
Itās 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.

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 elseās 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Law
How soon should I seek medical assistance following a bodily injury in NY, and what can it mean for my case?
You should seek medical attention as soon as possible after your accident, even if you doubt your injuries are serious. Your post-accident medical report may play a key role in proving causation in your claim, which can help your personal injury attorney build a strong case.
How does “negligence” factor into my personal injury case in NY, and how is “negligence” defined?
Proving negligence is a central part of every NY personal injury claim. We’ll need to show that the responsible party breached their duty of reasonable care, which led to your injury. NY law also recognizes comparative negligence, so being partially at fault for your accident could reduce your compensation.
How can I know whether I have a personal injury case for damage to my reputation or mental/emotional anguish I have suffered that was caused by someone else in NY?
You may experience emotional distress, damage to your reputation, and physical injuries. Contact our personal injury law firm to find out whether you have grounds for a claim. We understand you need to be heard, so we’ll assess your case and suggest a legal strategy for your circumstances.
How likely is a personal injury case to settle before going to trial?
The vast majority of personal injury cases settle out of court. However, you can pursue a personal injury lawsuit if the insurance company denies your claim or makes an inadequate settlement offer.
What is a contingency fee in a NY personal injury case, and how can I know my attorney believes in my case?
At the Harrison Law Group, P.C., we represent personal injury victims on a contingency basis. It’s simple: you pay if and when we win. Contact us to schedule a free case consultation and strategy session with an experienced Long Island personal injury lawyer.
