EL Monte Uber Accident Attorney

Find Out Your Rights

As a rider in Uber or a driver for the ridesharing service, it is important that you know your rights. This way, you do not end up implicated or at-fault when you should not be. In California, an Uber driver and an Uber rider have specific rights when involved in an Uber accident.

Uber riders should keep in mind:

• If you are injured by someone who is not your Uber driver, the other individual’s insurance should cover your claim.
• If you are injured by someone who is not your Uber driver, and they are uninsured, Uber should cover your claim up to $1 million under their contingency plan.
• If your driver causes the accident, Uber’s contingency plan goes into effect, and you must file a claim against your driver.

Uber drivers should keep in mind:

• If you are injured by someone else, their insurance should cover your claim.
• If you have turned on the app and have not accepted a ride, your personal insurance may not cover injuries or damages. Uber’s policy is not in effect, either.
• If you have picked up a ride and cause the injury, Uber’s contingency plan should help cover any claims made against you.
