Most Common Causes Of Uber Accidents
Driver error is the leading cause of Uber accidents. However, vehicle defects, dangerous roadways, and inclement weather also contribute to these incidents. Skilled Uber accident lawyers will look into these factors closely to establish liability:
Driver Error
Uber drivers do not receive any training before accepting their first ride, which means they can easily make the same mistakes as other drivers. These errors include:
- Distracted Driving — Drivers need to have their Uber app open while driving. The constant need to check their phones for directions and trip details can divert their full focus away from the road, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Reckless Driving — To earn more income, Uber drivers try to complete as many trips as quickly as possible. Some violate traffic laws and drive over the speed limit, run red lights, or make illegal turns, significantly increasing the risk of accidents.
- Driving Under The Influence — Many Uber drivers get away with driving intoxicated or drugged. Alcohol and drugs impair a driver’s alertness, reaction time, and coordination.
- Making Navigation Errors — Uber drivers unfamiliar with an area can sometimes drive in the wrong direction on a one-way street. They also frequently stop where they shouldn’t to pick up or drop off a passenger.
Despite Uber drivers’ heightened duty of care towards passengers, they make the same mistakes other regular drivers commit. For example, in an unfortunate Uber accident in Sherman Oaks, a 23-year-old motorcyclist died in a three-vehicle collision. The investigation showed that the Uber driver stopped on northbound 405, and the motorcyclist slammed into the rear of the vehicle.
Errors like these aren’t exclusive to rideshare drivers, though. Our California Uber accident lawyers have also filed claims against third-party drivers who primarily caused the collision. Nevertheless, the company should consider providing their drivers with proper training to reduce the risk of accidents caused by human error.
Uber’s Negligence
Uber’s negligence might also lead to an accident. The company must perform background checks on applicants before hiring them. In some cities, drivers must also pass Uber’s annual checks in order to continue driving for the company. Despite these measures, accidents occasionally occur because Uber isn’t thorough with its obligations.
If the company hires or retains a driver despite a criminal or driving record, it may be liable for negligence. The same goes if it fails to terminate a driver’s contract after multiple passenger complaints of unsafe driving.
Do you have a valid claim against the ridesharing company? Talk to our Uber accident lawyers. We will review your case to determine Uber’s potential liability.
Vehicle Defects
Accidents involving Uber can also occur due to defective car parts or mechanical failures. For example, faulty brakes or tires can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles, leading to a collision.
In California, Uber requires drivers to have their vehicles inspected annually or after driving 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The inspection must be conducted at a facility licensed by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. Ridesharing drivers are responsible for conducting regular maintenance checks on their vehicles, regardless of how old their vehicles are.
Dangerous Roads
Uber accidents can also occur due to poor traffic conditions, like broken traffic lights, insufficient warning signs, cracked pavements, and inadequate lighting. The government entity responsible for road safety can be held responsible for a resulting accident, especially if it’s found that it had reasonable time and resources to deal with the issues.
Inclement Weather Conditions
Most of California experiences a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Despite its generally pleasant weather, sudden downpours and strong winds can make it challenging for drivers to navigate the road. Accidents are more likely to happen due to low visibility and slippery roads. Liability in weather-related collisions is often unclear, but our California Uber accident attorneys can review your case, identify the cause, and determine who is at fault.
Sometimes, the driver could be to blame, even if the conditions are beyond their control. They are still expected to exercise caution by reducing their speed or even pulling over to the side of the road. They could face liability if their poor judgment causes an accident.

Uber’s Insurance Periods For Accidents
Uber’s insurance policies have three distinct periods of coverage depending on the driver’s status in the Uber app. Our Uber car accident attorneys will investigate the period in which the accident occurred to determine the amount of coverage that will apply to your case.
Here are Uber’s insurance periods in more detail:
- Period 1 — This is the time when the Uber driver goes online and is available for a trip.
- Period 2 — This period starts when the driver accepts a ride request and is en route to pick up the passenger.
- Period 3 — This period starts the moment the passenger steps into the vehicle and ends when they step out after reaching their destination.
Our attorneys for Uber accident cases are well-versed in these rideshare periods, as well as how they apply to personal injury claims in California. We will be able to explain these to you in further detail and make sure you clearly understand them.
Rideshare Insurance Requirements In California
In 2015, California passed Assembly Bill 2293, which requires rideshare companies and drivers to carry liability insurance coverage. Ridesharing companies must provide a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance to cover the driver from the time they accept a ride request to the time the passenger exits the vehicle.
Currently, however, the law does not require rideshare companies to carry collision or comprehensive coverage. The driver can carry these types of insurance on their personal auto policy.
Under AB 2293, the rideshare driver, the Transportation Network Company (TNC), in this case, Uber, will maintain primary third-party liability insurance in these amounts during Period 1:
- $50,000 per individual.
- $100,000 per accident.
- $30,000 for property damage.
Apart from this, Uber must carry $200,000 in excess liability coverage. This law also means that a driver’s auto insurance coverage will not apply if the driver is logged into the rideshare app — unless the driver has specifically purchased insurance that includes ridesharing.
The $1 million in liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist, and contingent collision/comprehensive insurance (up to actual cash value) does not come into effect until Period 2. The same policy applies to Period 3, but during this time, the coverage extends to Uber passengers.
Once the passenger leaves the vehicle, the insurance provided returns to Period 1 insurance if the driver remains on duty. However, if the driver exits the app or goes offline (also referred to as Period 0), their personal insurance policy kicks in.
If you want to know more about how these insurance policies apply to your claim, feel free to discuss them with our California Uber accident attorneys.
Determining Liability In An Uber Accident
The possibility of multiple responsible parties is one of the things that can complicate an Uber accident claim. This shared liability can impact the victim’s final compensation.
Based on the causes mentioned previously, these are the parties that could be liable in an Uber accident:
- The Uber driver
- Another driver
- Uber
- The vehicle manufacturer
- The parts supplier
- The mechanic
- The government
Our California lawyers will investigate your case and work with other experts to determine where the fault lies in an Uber accident. Then, we will help you pursue a claim against the liable party and ensure you receive compensation for your injuries and losses.
For example, you sustained injuries because your Uber driver drove past a red light and caused a collision with another vehicle. You will need to prove that their reckless driving caused your injuries. In California, you can establish negligence through these four elements:
- Duty of Care — Since you’re a passenger in this scenario, the driver owes you the highest level of care.
- Breach of Duty — Your Uber driver breached their duty by choosing to drive recklessly.
- Causation — The evidence gathered points to the driver’s actions leading to the accident as the cause of your injuries.
- Damages — Your injuries resulted in financial loss and pain and suffering.
Our Uber accident lawyers in California are experts at proving negligence and holding the responsible party or parties accountable. Call (888) 488-1391 today. We offer free consultations.
Injuries Typically Sustained In Uber Accidents
Minor collisions involving Uber usually only cause mild to moderate injuries. You might only sustain minor cuts, bruises, or sprains in a fender-bender. Major collisions, on the other hand, could lead to catastrophic injuries, including paralysis, coma, or even death.
Bruises
Blunt-force trauma from a crash can cause bruises or contusions, lasting weeks to months. This may result in pain and stiffness and impact work ability. Immediate medical attention is needed for internal organ bruising.
Injuries can lead to medical expenses and other losses. You might be eligible for compensation. Our Uber accident attorneys offer a free initial consultation to discuss your options.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Uber accidents can also cause pain, inflammation, and limited range of motion in the affected area. Soft tissue injuries like whiplash may take several weeks or months to heal and could damage nerves. These conditions are characterized by muscle twitching, numbness, pain, and an inability to sense temperature changes.
Broken Bones Or Fractures
One of the more serious injuries in an Uber accident is a bone fracture. This injury can affect various body parts, such as the victim’s limbs, shoulders, ribs, spine, hips, and even the skull. Broken bones typically heal within several months with a cast or brace. In extreme cases, an arm or leg fracture may lead to amputation, while a skull fracture may lead to brain injury or death.
Back And Spinal Cord Injuries
Back injuries from accidents can be life-changing. Temporary strains or herniated discs cause extreme discomfort, while severe spinal cord damage may lead to paralysis, reducing quality of life and earning ability.
Seek help from our experienced California Uber accident lawyers. We’ll assist in recovering damages for medical bills, care costs, and lost income.
Head And Brain Injuries
Some symptoms of head and brain injuries may not always show up immediately after a collision. Prompt medical evaluation right after an Uber accident is critical to rule out any injuries to the brain. Victims will have to keep an eye on their condition for at least 24 hours. Report any symptoms right away, including blurred vision, dizziness, vomiting, or ringing in the ears. Moreover, you should take headaches seriously, as they might indicate a concussion. Untreated traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result in a coma, permanent brain damage, and even death.
Internal Injuries
Uber crashes can damage internal organs, resulting in lacerations, bruising, bleeding, and life-threatening ruptures. Victims usually need IV fluids or blood transfusions to treat mild internal bleeding. However, they may need a transplant for organ failure.
Always remember to seek medical attention for your injuries after an accident. Even seemingly minor injuries or symptoms could become more serious if left untreated. Our Uber accident lawyers can connect you to the top medical specialists in California so that you can get thorough clinical examination and treatment for your injuries.
Wrongful Deaths
Tragically, Uber accidents can sometimes result in fatalities, particularly in catastrophic collisions. Some victims lose their lives at the scene, while others may succumb to complications from their injuries. If you have lost a loved one in an Uber accident, our compassionate California Uber accident lawyers are here to help you file a wrongful death claim and seek the justice and support you deserve during this difficult time.
Types Of Compensation In An Uber Accident
Uber accident victims may be eligible to pursue monetary compensation in the form of economic (tangible) or non-economic (pain and suffering) damages. Our California Uber accident lawyers can help you recover the following tangible losses:
- Past, ongoing, and future medical expenses related to the accident.
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs.
- Loss of income and earning capacity as a result of your injuries.
Our Uber accident lawyers have also helped victims receive compensation for injuries other than physical harm. Car crashes often leave victims with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health issues. Emotional and psychological damage can take months or years of therapy, affecting victims more than anyone can imagine. In many cases, the trauma stays with the victims and leaves a lasting impact on how they live the rest of their lives. Here are other non-economic damages accident victims can recover:
- Loss of consortium for your spouse and companionship for your family.
- Reduced quality of life due to permanent injuries or disabilities.
In rare cases involving gross negligence, fraud, malice, or oppression, our Uber accident attorneys can also pursue punitive damages. These awards serve to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior in the future.
Our California lawyers, specializing in Uber accident cases, are skilled at giving you an accurate estimate of the value of your claim. We will assess the full extent of your injuries and fight for maximum settlement.
How To Handle Insurance Claims After A Car Accident With Uber
Being involved in an Uber accident as a passenger can be confusing. You will need to exchange insurance information and possibly file a personal injury lawsuit. California’s ride-sharing laws are complex, making it difficult to know your rights.
Our California Uber accident attorneys are experts in ridesharing laws and personal injury. We can guide you through the process and explain how Uber insurance claims work.
After you report the accident to Uber, you will wait for a response. Uber may acknowledge your report and ask you for more details. Uber’s insurer will then either offer a settlement or deny your claim. Our lawyers will ensure that you receive fair compensation and that Uber is held accountable.
Statute Of Limitations For Uber Accidents In California
Victims have up to two years from the date of the Uber accident to file a personal injury claim. If you’re filing a claim only for property damage, you have up to three years from the accident date.
Victims of Uber accidents related to road issues that may involve the government only have up to six months from the date of the accident to file with the government agency.
The statute of limitations for car collisions and other personal injury cases can be quite tricky. To make sure you comply with all the legal requirements and deadlines, you can contact our California Uber accident attorneys for help.
What To Do After An Uber Accident
Here’s what you need to do after an Uber accident, regardless if you’re the passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or the Uber driver injured in the crash:
Get To Safety And Call 911
Move to the side of the road or any other safer location near the accident scene. By doing so, you’ll be away from further harm if something worse happens — say, another car crashes into you.
From your safe spot, call 911 or ask someone at the scene to do it for you. Inform the dispatcher of the accident so they can send an ambulance and police officers to your location.
Seek Medical Attention Right Away
As soon as the medics arrive, make sure to get yourself checked, even if you don’t see any injuries or feel any pain. Let the medical professionals examine you to make sure you don’t need urgent care, if at all.
Our Uber accident lawyers strongly recommend that you get a medical assessment. It can serve as strong evidence to support your claim and establish the connection between your injuries and the accident.
Report The Accident
When the police arrive at the accident scene, they will ask you about the details of the official report. Make sure you provide only the facts and avoid adding details you’re not sure of. Filling in the gaps with your speculations might do more harm than good, so stick only with what you know for certain.
You should also report the incident to Uber as soon as possible.
- For Passengers — You can also report through the app or fill out the form on Uber’s website.
- For Third Parties — If you’re not a driver or a passenger, you can report the crash using Uber’s online form.
Collect Evidence And Information
If you can, take photos and videos of the accident scene. Otherwise, ask someone else to do it for you. Document the car’s license plate, vehicle damage, your injuries, and nearby establishments with security cameras that could have recorded the accident. You should also ask for the contact details of any possible witnesses. Your Uber accident attorney may need to contact them later to ask for a statement. Get the Uber driver’s information, including their name, license number, and insurance details.
Consult The Uber Accident Lawyers California Turns To
Call our Uber accident attorneys so that we can walk you through the legal process and discuss your legal options for compensation. We can advise you on what details to provide to the police, Uber, and insurance companies as soon as they contact you. Our Uber accident lawyers in California can help ensure you don’t accidentally say or do something that would hurt your claim.
Here are some common mistakes people make after an accident:
- Saying sorry for the accident, even though it’s not their fault.
- Discussing the accident with other people.
- Posting about the accident on social media.
Remember, your words can be manipulated and misinterpreted, jeopardizing your claim. Reach out to our Uber accident lawyers at (888) 488-1391 right away to protect your rights and interests.
Uber Driving And Accident Statistics
Today, Uber is a billion-dollar company with more than 6.5 million drivers and around 30 million trips per day worldwide. It’s a global force that has experienced exponential growth since its launch over a decade ago.
How safe is Uber statistically? According to Uber’s Safety Report for 2021 to 2022, 99.9998% of the 1.8 billion journeys concluded without any safety-related incidents. Despite this impressive figure, our lawyers still handle a significant number of Uber accident cases. This indicates that there are still risks associated with using the ridesharing company.
Due to their increased presence on the roads, Uber drivers have contributed to a heightened risk of collisions. The causes of these accidents are the same as those involving other drivers, such as negligence, carelessness, recklessness, and unlawful acts.
Between 2019 and 2020, Uber vehicles were involved in 21 fatal crashes, resulting in 101 fatalities. Uber’s most recent report shows a slight increase in these numbers: there were 153 deaths in 23 fatal crashes. These incidents usually involved reckless driving behavior, including alcohol impairment, speeding, and wrong-way driving.
Here are a few other significant Uber statistics:
Uber Trips Happen Mostly During The Afternoon
According to the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, in 2020, Uber trips in California typically peak from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Accidents cannot be predicted and can happen at any time, so everyone must be vigilant and prepared for what may happen.
Uber Is Subject To Different Regulations Compared To Taxi Companies
Different rules apply to Uber accidents than to typical collisions. In California, Uber drivers are independent contractors, which typically protects the company from liability in accidents caused by drivers. However, even though the drivers are not employees, several complicated court cases on this issue have resulted in convictions for the company.
After a rideshare crash, seek assistance from competent California Uber accident lawyers to help you recover from all the damages you’ve sustained.
Sexual And Physical Assault By Uber Drivers
Uber’s incident history does not involve only vehicle collisions. Uber’s Safety Report for the years 2019 to 2020 revealed 3,824 incidents of sexual assault. Uber saw a 22% decrease in these incidents, as per the company’s most recent safety report. Additionally, Uber recorded 36 physical assault fatalities between 2021 and 2022.
In California, Uber drivers have allegedly committed acts such as:
- Dragging passengers out of the vehicle.
- Stealing passengers’ phones.
- Threatening to attack passengers.
- Brandishing knives at passengers.
- Kidnapping passengers.
- Sexually assaulting passengers.
- Driving under the influence.
- Impersonating an Uber driver.
Sexual and physical assault cases involving an Uber driver can lead to criminal and civil charges. With the help of our Uber car accident attorneys in California, you can file a personal injury claim against the alleged offender along with an ongoing criminal case. Filing both cases can lead to adequate compensation and justice for your pain and suffering.
Uber Accident Victims Also Ask:
What Happens If My Uber Is In An Accident?
Uber has a protocol for any safety-related incident occurring during a trip. After ensuring your safety and cooperating with the police, you must notify Uber through its website or app using the instructions outlined in this article. Describe all the details involving the accident.
If you sustained damages in the accident, our Uber accident attorneys can explain how to file a claim with Uber’s insurance provider. We’ll guide you through the process, ensuring your claim is handled fairly.
How Do I Make A Claim With Uber?
If you have an issue regarding an accident, a safety incident involving the driver, or a lost item, you can initiate a claim through the app. Navigate to the “Help” section of the app and search for the topic that pertains to your specific issue. It will walk you through the process of submitting a claim.
After submitting the details, an Uber representative might get in touch with you. Most likely, they will give you some forms to fill out. Don’t forget to make a copy for your records. Seek the assistance of our California Uber accident lawyers to ensure you know your options and you’re making informed decisions.
How Does Uber Address Accidents?
Uber has a third-party liability insurance policy for its drivers, providing coverage to those involved in an accident. The company’s insurance provider may be responsible for compensating you if you’re injured. However, its offers often do not take into account the full extent of your damages. Despite having $1 Million in liability coverage, it might offer an insufficient amount. If you want to get maximum compensation, reach out to the Uber accident attorneys California trusts. We’ll evaluate the actual amount you’re entitled to.
Can You Sue Uber If You Get In An Accident?
In most cases, you won’t need to sue Uber to get compensated for damages. If you’re a passenger at the time of the accident, you’re most likely covered by Uber’s insurance policy, which offers up to $1 million for injuries. You’ll need to file a claim with their insurance company first.
If you were the driver or passenger in another vehicle involved in an Uber accident, you may be eligible to file a claim with Uber’s insurance. However, depending on the circumstances of the accident, you might need to involve the Uber driver’s insurance provider as well. Our Uber accident lawyers can help you determine which insurance policy applies.
On the other hand, you could sue Uber directly in certain situations where its actions contributed to the accident. For instance, Uber could be liable if it failed to conduct adequate background checks, and this oversight contributed to the accident. If you’re asking, “Do I need a personal injury lawyer to sue Uber?” the answer is yes. Our lawyers can help you determine whether Uber’s negligence played a role in your accident.
Does Uber Insurance Cover Passengers?
Yes. Uber insurance covers all parties in an accident, including drivers, passengers, and third parties. The coverage depends on the period when the incident occurred.
Is Uber’s Insurance Coverage Enough In Case Of An Accident?
After an Uber accident, insurance questions and claims can be complicated. Despite having $1 million in liability insurance, the company’s policy has a gray area as to who is liable after a crash. In fact, there is fine print in Uber’s policy terms stating that passengers use the ridesharing platform at their own risk.
It holds that the company is not liable for the safety of its drivers or the quality of its services, which contradicts the company’s insurance policy. This contradiction has led to several lawsuits against the company for failure to pay for driver and passenger damages.
After a minor car accident, passengers may easily file a claim with Uber’s insurance company and receive a settlement offer. This, however, is not always the case. The company may deny its liability for your accident for a number of reasons, leaving you to file a claim with the driver’s insurance or with your own.
Whatever the case, if Uber’s insurance coverage isn’t enough to cover your damages, a third-party insurer may pay leftover costs.
A personal injury claim often results in greater compensation than an insurance claim. It would be worth your time to reach out to our personal injury attorneys after an Uber accident and discuss your chances of filing a claim against a responsible party.
What If Both Drivers Are At Fault For An Uber Accident?
According to California’s laws on pure comparative negligence, if both the Uber driver and another driver are at fault for an accident, they will both pay for the injured victim’s damages. The actual amount they owe depends on their degree of fault.
This rule also applies to plaintiffs who contributed to the accident. The court will assign them a percentage of liability, reducing their compensation. For example, if the plaintiff has a 10% liability, they will receive only 90% of their damages.
How Long Does It Take For Uber To Investigate An Accident?
Uber could take several months to investigate an accident. It’s unclear how their process works, but according to an investigation by The Washington Post, Uber is more concerned about its reputation than the safety of its passengers. The investigation takes months or even years because Uber will go above and beyond to find a loophole and slip out of liability in such cases.
If the investigation for your case is taking longer than expected, you can ask for help from our Uber accident lawyers. We will communicate with Uber on your behalf, follow up on your case, and update you about any progress.
How Long Does An Uber Settlement Take?
Based on the extensive experience of our Uber car accident lawyers, personal injury claims with the company usually take a few months to over a year. Cases where liability is clear could be resolved quickly. However, a case turning into a lawsuit could take up to a year or more to be resolved. Our team of California-based Uber accident attorneys is well-prepared to represent you and fight for your rights. Whether dealing with insurance companies, Uber, or a jury, we are here to help.
How Much Is The Average Settlement For An Uber Accident Lawsuit In California?
The average settlement for Uber accidents ranges from several thousand to a few million dollars. The actual amount will vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, such as the severity of the injuries and the extent of property damage (if applicable). Reach out to our California Uber accident attorneys so we can review your case and give you an accurate estimate of its value.
How Much Do Uber Accident Attorneys Charge In California?
Most Uber accident attorneys in California work on a contingency fee basis. This means you won’t pay anything upfront since their fee is a percentage of the settlement or court award you will receive. The typical range falls between 33% and 40% of your final award.
