Understanding Liability in an Uber Accident
Uber accident claims are more complex than typical car accident cases. That’s because multiple insurance policies may come into play, depending on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.
Uber drivers are considered independent contractors, not employees. However, Uber provides liability coverage that may apply when a driver is logged into the app or transporting a passenger. In some cases, the driver’s personal insurance policy may also be involved.
Determining who is responsible—and which policy applies—can be complicated. That’s why it’s critical to have an experienced legal team evaluate your case and identify every available source of compensation.
Can You Recover Compensation?
If you were injured in an Uber accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Ongoing rehabilitation or long-term care
The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries and how they impact your life. At Applebaum Accident Group, we take the time to fully understand your condition, often working with medical professionals to document the extent of your injuries and future care needs.
Don’t Wait: Filing Deadlines Matter
Every personal injury case is subject to a statute of limitations. In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit under Florida law.
Waiting too long can put your claim at risk. Evidence can disappear, witnesses may become harder to reach, and insurance companies gain the upper hand. Speaking with an attorney early helps protect your rights and keeps your case on track.
Choosing the Right Lawyer
Not all personal injury lawyers handle rideshare accident claims the same way. When choosing representation, look for a firm that:
- Has experience with Uber and rideshare accident cases
- Understands the complexities of layered insurance coverage
- Has a strong track record of results
- Prioritizes communication and client support
You deserve a legal team that treats your case with the attention it deserves—not just another file on a desk.
