Los Angeles, with almost 3.9 million residents, is one of the cities with the highest Uber market share in the United States. The sheer number of vehicles operating in the area means there is also an increased risk of Uber accidents.
California was the first state to legalize ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft back in 2013. The California Public Utilities Commission created a new class of “Transportation Network Companies.” These rideshare services operate under a separate set of rules from regulated taxi services. As such, it created a new legal problem for consumers: who is legally responsible for accidents that involve a rideshare vehicle?
Our established personal injury law firm can help you identify who may be liable for the injuries you suffer in an Uber accident. If you have a valid claim, we can also advocate for your right to pursue compensation after being injured in such an event.

Our client was a loyal rideshare driver involved in a hit-and-run. The at-fault driver struck our client and fled the scene. After years of litigating in Arbitration for the Underinsured Motorist policy, our co-counselor Kevin Levian set up the case perfectly for an arbitration trial. Ultimately, the case was resolved for the maximum policy limits one week before the arbitration.– BRIAN BEECHER

How Uber Works: A Breakdown By Our Los Angeles Lawyers
For Passengers — Passengers use the Uber app to select a destination and pick-up point. The request is put out to available drivers, and the passenger is alerted once a driver accepts the ride request. (The passenger can cancel the ride if he or she is not comfortable with the driver who has chosen them.) The Uber driver usually arrives within minutes. This system generally saves riders time and money and is more convenient than taking a traditional taxicab.
For Drivers — Uber drivers choose when to work. They use their app to indicate that they are accepting rides. Then, when a ride request is made in their area, drivers can accept it and pick up the passenger. This is all done in the driver’s personal vehicle. Uber drivers are independent contractors who work on their own schedules.
Common Uber Accident Scenarios In Los Angeles
Essentially, these technologies connect people looking for a ride with freelance drivers. To determine who must pay for your injuries, it is important to understand who is legally at fault (“liable”) for causing the accident.
Some types of Uber accident scenarios that our Los Angeles lawyers can help you with are:
Pedestrians Struck By An Uber Driver
In this scenario, drivers are usually at fault for a pedestrian accident. There are some unique circumstances in which a driver could not reasonably avoid a collision: if, for example, a pedestrian jumped out in front of the vehicle without warning. However, even if a pedestrian is crossing slightly outside of the crosswalk lines or slightly after a walk signal changes, drivers still have a legal obligation to use reasonable care to avoid striking them. This rule applies to rideshare drivers, truck drivers, and bus drivers alike.
Non-Uber Drivers Struck By Uber Drivers
If an Uber driver is at fault for causing an accident with your vehicle, then that driver could be held responsible for your property damage and injuries if fault is proven through the claims process. Our Los Angeles Uber car accident lawyers can help identify whether a rideshare driver or another driver was at fault for causing the accident.
Passengers In An Uber That’s Struck By Someone Else
The driver responsible for causing the accident may have a legal obligation to compensate the injured victims, depending on legal proceedings and the determination of liability. For example, you were riding in an Uber when your driver got into a big rig truck accident because the trucker ran a red light. In this case, the truck driver (and his or her insurance company) may be responsible for compensating you for your injuries if it’s determined that they’re at fault.
Passengers In An Uber Accident Caused By The Rideshare Driver
If the rideshare driver was responsible, they could be held liable for your injuries. Rideshare drivers must maintain their own insurance coverage. In addition, Uber carries an insurance policy that may apply to passengers injured by their driver’s negligence, subject to the terms and conditions outlined in their policy. Both of these policies may be available to an Uber passenger who is injured through their own driver’s negligence, depending on the circumstances.
Top Causes Of Uber Accidents In Los Angeles
Driver errors dominate the list of the most common causes of Uber accidents in Los Angeles. These include speeding, reckless driving, poor navigation, distracted driving, and fatigue.
Let’s look at each of these causes more closely:
Speeding
Speeding is one of the most common – and dangerous – causes of accidents. High speeds often magnify the impact of a collision, leading to serious accidents like rollovers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that speeding killed 12,330 people in 2021. This was 29% of all United States traffic fatalities that year. That means that more than one out of every four traffic fatalities is caused by speeding.
Failure To Stop
All drivers have a legal duty of care. This means they must take reasonable steps to avoid a collision. Running a red light or stop sign, failing to yield, failing to control speed, and tailgating can all cause a driver to fail to stop in time, causing rear-end and T-bone accidents.
Unfamiliar Territory
As any Southern Californian knows, Los Angeles is a confusing place. We have dozens of major freeways and hundreds of winding side streets that don’t always follow a clear pattern. This can be a dangerous situation for any driver, especially one who is not familiar with L.A. and its surrounding cities. The infamous L.A. traffic only makes this situation worse.
Pedestrians can also be at risk, as Uber drivers might not know where they can stop safely. They might recklessly pick up or drop off passengers on the sidewalks rather than in any designated spaces or parking lots.
Distracted Driving
According to the NHTSA, 3,522 traffic fatalities occurred in 2021 as a result of distracted driving. Distracted driving has become a major problem in recent years. As mobile devices, navigation systems, and built-in entertainment systems have become common in almost every vehicle in California, drivers have more temptation than ever to take their eyes off the road. This is negligence, and distracted drivers can most likely be held liable for the accidents they cause.
Driving Under The Influence (DUI)
Alcohol and drugs can significantly impair an individual’s motor functions. If people drive under the influence of these substances, they endanger the lives of other users. Whether you’re a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian hit by an impaired driver, our Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers can assist DUI accident victims in exploring their rights and options with California’s DUI laws in mind.
Driver Fatigue
This is an easy trap for drivers to fall into. Unlike drunk driving, it is not always clear when someone is too tired to drive safely.
A long workday is often tiring. Many Uber drivers have packed schedules or several jobs, making them more prone to exhaustion. In order to earn more money, they might choose to drive for Uber, even if they’re tired. Unfortunately, they may not always consider the impact that fatigued driving has on their own and everyone’s safety. If they fall asleep and drift off their lanes, they could collide with oncoming traffic and cause catastrophic injuries.
Other causes of Uber accidents might be beyond the driver’s control. Rainy weather, for example, can cause a car’s tires to lose traction on the road, leading to an accident. Poor road conditions and auto defects are other factors.
Our Los Angeles lawyers can assess your Uber accident and identify what may have caused it to pinpoint potentially negligent parties you can seek compensation from.
Common Injuries In An Uber Accident
Based on our experience, most victims sustain injuries to their heads, necks, chests, backs, and limbs. Here are the ones that our Los Angeles lawyers encounter when handling Uber accident claims:
- Head Injuries — These may include concussions, cuts or bruises on the face, hemorrhages, or skull fractures. In more serious cases of brain injuries, victims may suffer aneurysms or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that could lead to a coma or even death.
- Neck Injuries — Many Uber victims are vulnerable to whiplash, especially in rear-end collisions. A whiplash is among the more minor injuries, and it could fully heal in a few weeks with a neck brace. However, it could lead to nerve damage if left untreated or not treated properly.
- Chest Injuries — The blunt force trauma from the impact of an Uber crash can potentially cause bruising in the victim’s chest or abdominal area. Defective airbags may also lead victims to suffer rib fractures or, worse, internal organ damage.
- Back Injuries — A herniated disc is a somewhat permanent injury that may lead to reduced motor function or weakness in the legs, affecting a victim’s walking capacity. In some Uber accidents, victims also suffer spinal cord injuries that could lead to permanent paralysis.
- Limb Injuries — These are any cuts, bruises, burns, or fractures in a victim’s extremities, such as their fingers, toes, arms, and legs. Limb injuries are often treatable, but in severe cases, they could lead to amputations.
Since many of these injuries can potentially have long-term impacts, you may want to make sure you receive a thorough medical examination after an Uber accident in Los Angeles. You can consult our lawyers afterward. We can connect you with local doctors who can assess the extent of your injuries so we can factor their potential value into your Uber accident claim.
What Happens After An Uber Accident In Los Angeles?
The first and most important thing to do after an accident is to determine if you or anyone on the scene needs medical attention. Call 911 and let emergency medical personnel help determine who needs to go to the hospital. Be sure that everyone’s immediate safety is secured. Then, work with the police on the scene.
Once your immediate needs are taken care of, the claims process can begin. An insurance claim can be opened at any time. Be aware, however, that any statements you make may accidentally lead to you admitting fault for the accident. In these cases, you can enlist the help of our skilled Los Angeles lawyers who handle Uber accidents. We can handle all case-related communications to help you maintain the validity of your claim.
What Should You Do After An Uber Accident?
Here’s a sample list of what to do after an Uber accident in Los Angeles:
- If your car got hit by an Uber, don’t leave the scene for any reason unless it’s to get help. You might get charged with a hit-and-run, even if the collision is not your fault.
- Report the accident to the police. Keep it factual and refrain from adding your own speculations and other details that may not be true. These false details could be used against you later on.
- Document the accident scene if you can. Take pictures and videos of the crash site, the plate numbers of the vehicles involved, all property and vehicle damage, and the injuries you suffered. Also, look around and take note of any establishments that could have recorded the accident through their surveillance cameras.
- Get the information of the drivers involved in the crash, such as their names, contact numbers, and insurance providers. You should also ask for the contact details of any possible witnesses.
- Do not discuss the crash with anyone or post about the accident on social media, so you can avoid accidentally saying or doing something that could harm the claim you’re about to file. Similarly, be careful about apologizing, since statements made at the scene could be misinterpreted later.
- Take note of all the details you can remember about the accident. Whether it’s in your notes app or an actual journal, documenting all things related to the accident can prove useful later on.
- File a report with Uber as soon as possible. Only then can the claims process begin.
- Speak with our Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers so we can help you decide what to do next, especially before talking with any insurance providers about the accident. You can reach us at (888) 488-1391.
Who Is At Fault For Causing An Uber Car Accident?
Liability is not always as simple as assigning fault to one driver over another. For one thing, California is a pure comparative fault state. That means that fault can be assigned to more than one person. Each person only pays damages on his or her portion of the fault.
So if, for example, each driver was found to be 50% at fault, then each could only have to pay for half the damages caused by the accident. This can create complications for Uber accident victims. If both the rideshare driver and another driver are at fault, it may be necessary to file a claim against each party for their share of the damages.
Uber drivers are required to have their own auto insurance, but their policy may not apply if they get into an accident while driving with Uber. Unlike taxis, rideshare drivers use their private vehicles in a commercial setting. However, not many carry commercial vehicle insurance coverage. As such, Uber’s insurance covers them to different extents, depending on the nature of the accident.
Establishing Liability In Your Uber Accident
Uber accident victims are sometimes found to be partially at fault for causing their own injuries. Imagine that a pedestrian crosses outside of a crosswalk. A jury found that this was 30% negligent but also found that the Uber driver was 70% negligent for hitting the pedestrian. In that case, the pedestrian is owed 70% of all his losses from the Uber driver. This is an important reason to have your case reviewed by Uber accident lawyers in Los Angeles. Even if you were partially at fault for an accident, compensation may still be available for you to pursue, depending on the details of your case.
In the case of a rideshare accident, the company itself might also be liable. Because Uber drivers are independent contractors, the rideshare company is not liable for their negligence. However, Uber might be held responsible for negligently hiring bad drivers or allowing drivers with a criminal record to remain on the app. This direct liability occurs if the business itself does something negligent.
Finally, an auto accident involving Uber can be caused by a defective vehicle. Negligent design or manufacturing can cause a vehicle to fail and crash. When this happens, the manufacturer may be held liable for accidents caused by its defective products.
In the case of a defective rideshare vehicle, the legal situation becomes complicated. The driver, the rideshare service, the manufacturer, and the other driver may all contest their share of fault. Our Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers can help clarify how you might still be able to pursue compensation amid this complicated scenario.
Our Process For Uber Accident Cases
Through the years, our Los Angeles lawyers have developed a step-by-step process for handling Uber accident claims. Here’s an outline of our approach to such cases:
Initial Consultation
To set the claims process in motion, you can set an appointment to tell us about your accident. You may call us at (888) 488-1391 or fill out our “Do I Have A Case?” form to schedule a meeting.
During the free initial consultation, we will review your case and determine your eligibility to file a claim.
Onboarding
If you’d like us to help you with a valid Uber accident case, we will take you through our onboarding process. We will lay out our plans and strategies for handling your claim and pursuing compensation. We will also answer any questions you may have about the accident or the claims process.
This is also where we figure out the best way for us to communicate, whether it’s in person or through video calls, texts, and emails. Our Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers can work around your schedule and meet with you where it’s most convenient.
Case Building
After discussing these things, we will begin acquiring evidence to support your claim. We will gather surveillance footage, photos of the accident scene, witness statements, and other documents related to the accident.
Our accident lawyers may also work with outside experts to help pinpoint all the relevant details, especially regarding the damages you can include in your claim.
Negotiation
Once we have a substantiated case, we will start negotiating with the at-fault parties and their insurance companies. We will work to reach a settlement that closely reflects the extent and value of your losses. Negotiations with the at-fault parties can take time and are filled with back-and-forth calls. We’ll work to maintain communication with you so you can make informed decisions about whether to accept or counter offers.
Lawsuit
If negotiations prove unproductive, our Los Angeles Uber accident attorneys will study the viability of taking your case to court. We are dedicated to preparing your case for litigation, so we’re ready to present it in front of a judge or jury if this scenario occurs.
Compensation
After the negotiation or lawsuit, you may be offered a final settlement amount. This is initially given to us as your legal representatives, and depending on the terms we’ve agreed on during onboarding, this could be transferred to you through a bank check or wire transfer.
Recovery
If you are able to collect compensation, all that’s left is for you to focus on getting better from your injuries. Remember that you can still reach out to us if you need further assistance or have questions, even after your claim has been resolved.

Compensation For Your Injuries & Losses From An Uber Accident
An accident can result in many types of losses. These damages are not always tangible, and they may not have a specific dollar amount, but they are very real. According to the law, drivers who are careless may be held accountable to compensate their victims for one or more of these types of losses:
Medical Bills
This can include anything you or your health insurance company has paid for your injuries. It may also cover medical bills that are reasonably expected to be incurred in the future. For permanent injuries, this is a complicated projection that covers years’ worth of future medical expenses. It might require a professional economist to testify as an expert witness.
Property Damage Or Loss
You may also be eligible to seek compensation for property damage or loss. This includes all expenses you incur in the repair or replacement of your vehicle, whether it’s a car, motorcycle, or bicycle.
This type of damage may also apply in single-vehicle Uber accidents where the driver crashes their car into your property.
Lost Wages
This can include bonuses, overtime, and other compensation that can be documented by your employer. It also includes all wages reasonably expected to be lost in the future. If, for example, you are unable to return to work due to an accident, the negligent driver may be liable for lost income, including potential future earnings, depending on the circumstances and evidence.
Any Permanent Disability Or Disfigurement
This includes more significant losses (such as paralysis or amputation). It can also, however, include smaller disfigurements. A scar might be small, but it is still a permanent disfigurement caused by the defendant’s negligence. The amount of compensation will vary with the severity of the injury, but victims who can prove fault may seek compensation for documented, lasting changes to their lives.
Pain And Suffering
A settlement offer is usually a cold calculation based on the amount of the victim’s medical bills. Insurance company software assumes that damages for pain and suffering are valued at one or two times the amount of the victim’s medical bills. However, this may not account for the ways in which an injury victim’s life is changed by an accident. More importantly, it might not consider an individual’s particular circumstances. Reach out to our Los Angeles lawyers if you want an estimate of the value of your Uber accident claim that takes those factors into consideration.
Loss Of Enjoyment Of Life
These intangible losses are very difficult to place a fair value on. How much money will compensate a paralyzed victim for not being able to walk across the stage at her graduation? What about a parent who can no longer hold their children, or a concert pianist who no longer has arms? Even something as simple as not being able to enjoy sports as a hobby is a very real loss.
Our Los Angeles attorneys, focusing on Uber accidents, will work to seek both tangible and intangible damages that may be available in your case. Our team will work to attach monetary values to these losses. We may tap on outside experts to come up with estimates that we can factor into your claim.
The Expenses Of A Wrongful Death Accident Caused By An Uber Accident
In more severe Uber accidents, victims may incur fatal injuries. Surviving family members might be eligible to pursue a wrongful death case against a negligent driver. In this situation, a defendant found liable may be ordered to pay damages caused by the death. This can include:
- The victim’s medical expenses prior to death.
- Lost wages the victim could have earned had he or she lived, and the value of other benefits the victim would have earned (such as health insurance or a pension plan).
- A surviving spouse’s loss of companionship, love, affection, and other pleasures of the marital relationship.
- A surviving child’s loss of parental guidance and love.
- Property damage (such as a totaled vehicle or burned building).
- Psychological damage suffered by the survivors.
- The victim’s funeral and burial expenses.
The damages that surviving family members can seek depend on their relationship to the victim who died. Surviving children and spouses have claims for “loss of consortium,” which is the loss of the relationship. More distant family members do not have this claim. An executor cannot maintain this claim in a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of the victim’s estate. Our Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers can further assist you in navigating wrongful death claims.
Uber’s Insurance Coverage For Accidents In L.A.
Anyone who drives on the public roads of California is required to carry liability insurance by state law. Uber also requires their drivers to provide proof of this insurance coverage. In addition, rideshare companies also carry their own insurance policies that can supplement drivers’ individual policies. Uber’s own policy may potentially cover passenger injuries during rideshare trips. The amount of coverage and how it applies depend on several factors, including the driver’s status and state laws. Here is when Uber’s additional coverage might apply:
Period 0: The Driver Is Offline And Not Working
During this period, a driver is not working for Uber in any capacity. Insurance coverage is limited to what the driver carries for themselves on a personal policy. No additional Uber policy will apply.
Period 1: The Driver Is Waiting For A Ride Request
If an accident occurs before a driver accepts a ride request, Uber’s insurance covers bodily injury damages up to $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 in property damage.
Period 2: The Driver Has Accepted A Ride Request And Is En Route To Pick Up The Passenger
During this period, Uber’s insurance coverage works alongside other applicable insurance policies to protect accident victims, according to policy terms and limits.
Period 3: The Driver Is Traveling With The Passenger To The Destination
As with Period 2, Uber’s $1 million insurance policy applies during this period. The only difference is that coverage now extends to the injured passenger who was inside the vehicle during the accident. However, please note that the amount you can pursue still depends on your actual losses.
Tips For Rideshare Passengers Who Are Injured In An Accident
- Screenshot or download your trip information. Transportation companies like Uber provide passengers with certain information prior to their trip. Getting the driver’s name, the route you are expected to take, departure and arrival estimates, and vehicle information can all be helpful to your Uber accident claim.
- Contact a Los Angeles Uber accident lawyer. Getting an attorney early on can help you steer clear of common mistakes and preserve the validity of your claim.
- Keep track of medical appointments, records, and expenses for travel. Depending on the circumstances, you may be compensated for expenses resulting from an accident if you can prove liability. This includes medical bills, prescription medications, medical devices, over-the-counter medications, Ace bandages, and anything else you have to buy because of your injuries. It might also include mileage reimbursement for traveling to your medical appointments.
- Document all of your injuries resulting from the accident. It can be difficult to describe your pain and suffering to an attorney or jury months after the accident occurred. It is helpful to have a record of the pain and discomfort you experienced when you were unable to sleep, the days you missed from work, and other details. Take photos of bruises, cuts, and other visible injuries. Thorough documentation of your injuries and the accident scene can be helpful for your case.
Our Los Angeles lawyers will be able to give you more tips on what you can do after an Uber accident. We can also guide you through the claims process and assess if you have a case to file.
Uber Accident Statistics
The rise of rideshare services like Uber has made it more convenient for people to travel. Offering a somewhat more secure mode of transportation, especially after a party or night out, these services have effectively reduced the number of alcohol-related crashes. People now have an alternative means to get home without having to drive while drunk just to avoid overpriced taxi fares.
However, while we celebrate the continuous growth of these rideshare services, we also have to look at their implications on safety. More Uber vehicles mean more road congestion and a higher risk of getting into traffic accidents. According to a study from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, ridesharing services contribute to a 3% annual increase in traffic fatalities.
Moreover, Uber’s safety report revealed that 91 fatal Uber accidents led to a total of 101 deaths in 2019–2020. The top three leading causes of these accidents were speeding (32%), drunk driving (23%), and wrong-way driving (15%), mostly by third-party drivers.
Uber accidents also average about 100 annually. Almost half (42%) of the fatalities from 2019 to 2020 were vulnerable road users. Pedestrians were the most at-risk (64%), followed by motorcyclists (29%) and bicyclists or scooter riders (7%).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can You Sue Your Uber Driver If You Got Injured As A Passenger?
If you’re in an accident while riding in an Uber and the driver is found to be at fault, you may be able to file a lawsuit against them. Additionally, if you get injured as a passenger, you may be eligible to pursue compensation from Uber’s insurance policy, depending on the policy’s terms and conditions.
If another driver is at fault, they will be the ones responsible for compensating you. However, suppose they don’t have insurance or their policy is not enough to cover your damages. Even if the Uber driver is not at fault, Uber’s uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage might be an option in certain situations, but it’s subject to various factors.
For a more in-depth explanation of UM/UIM insurance coverage, you may consult our Los Angeles Uber accident attorneys.
Can You Sue An Uber Driver For An Accident Even If You’re Not A Passenger?
Other road users hit by an Uber driver may be eligible to file claims for their injuries and other losses. The driver’s personal auto insurance will kick in if they are not logged in on the app during the accident. Uber’s insurance will apply if they are logged in during the accident.
Should You Still Go To The Doctor Even If You Feel Fine After An Uber Accident?
Even if you feel fine after an Uber accident, you should still see a doctor and get properly examined. This way, you can get prompt treatment for your injuries. Some conditions, like brain injuries, may not be immediately apparent. The symptoms of an injury may not appear immediately, and not all injuries are external. If there are none, you’ll at least have the assurance that you won’t be experiencing further complications from the accident.
Also, seeking medical attention after an accident can do good for your claim. Medical records are documents that help support your case, regardless of whether you have minor or major injuries. Our Los Angeles Uber accident attorneys can assist you in connecting with healthcare providers in the area who can assess the extent of, and potentially treat, your injuries.
What Is The Deadline For Filing An Uber Accident Claim?
The statute of limitations for Uber and Lyft accident claims in California is two years from the date of the accident. This time limit has exceptions, though. If you want to make sure your claim is valid, file it as soon as possible. Our Los Angeles Uber accident lawyers can help you submit the paperwork and meet the applicable deadlines.
How Much Do Lawyers Charge For Uber Accident Claims In Los Angeles?
There is no one amount that lawyers charge for Uber accident claims, as each case is unique. Some factors that can influence the price of legal representation include the number of at-fault parties involved in a claim, as well as whether a case has to be taken to court. However, attorney fees don’t have to be an immediate financial concern following an accident.
Arash Law offers a contingency fee agreement for its clients. In this setup, we don’t charge them attorney fees unless a claim resolves with a settlement or award. However, clients might still be responsible for case-related costs. In eliminating upfront costs, we aim to make our services more accessible to victims injured in Uber crashes and other personal injury accidents.
