Why Uber Accident Claims Are More Complex Than Regular Car Accidents
A standard car accident involves two parties and two insurance companies. An Uber accident can involve up to five: you, the Uber driver, Uber itself, a third-party driver, and potentially multiple insurers. Each party has lawyers working to minimize their exposure. You need an attorney who understands the entire landscape.

Does Uber's independent contractor defense protect them from liability?
Uber claims drivers are independent contractors to avoid vicarious liability. However, this defense has limits. Our attorneys identify cases where Uber's direct negligence — such as inadequate background checks, failing to remove dangerous drivers, or app design issues — creates direct company liability separate from the contractor relationship.
What if I was a pedestrian hit by an Uber vehicle?
Pedestrians hit by Uber vehicles during an active trip are covered by Uber's $1M liability policy. If the driver was logged in but hadn't accepted a ride, the contingent coverage applies. Our attorneys identify which coverage phase applies and pursue maximum compensation.
How do I preserve evidence from an Uber accident?
Screenshot your trip information immediately — fare, driver details, route. Contact Uber to report the accident and request your trip data. Save any in-app communications. Take photos of all vehicles, injuries, and the scene. Note any witnesses. Call our attorneys before giving any statement to insurance companies.
