Period 2: En Route to Pickup
Driver accepted a ride and is heading to pick up the passenger. Full $1 million liability coverage kicks in.
Period 3: Passenger in Vehicle
Passenger is in the vehicle. Maximum coverage: $1 million liability plus uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is liable when an Uber driver causes an accident? ▼
Liability depends on the driver's status at the time of the accident. When a passenger is in the vehicle or the driver is en route to a pickup, Uber's $1 million commercial insurance typically covers the accident. Both the driver and Uber may be held liable depending on the circumstances.
How much is my Uber accident claim worth? ▼
Settlement values vary widely based on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other factors. Minor injury claims may settle for $10,000-$50,000, while serious injury cases can reach $500,000 or more. Fatal accident claims may exceed $1 million.
How long do I have to file an Uber accident lawsuit? ▼
The statute of limitations varies by state, ranging from 1 year (Louisiana, Tennessee) to 6 years (Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota). Most states have 2-3 year limits. It's critical to act quickly to preserve evidence and meet legal deadlines.
Do I need a lawyer for an Uber accident claim? ▼
While not required, hiring an experienced rideshare accident attorney significantly increases your chances of fair compensation. Uber's insurance company has teams of lawyers—you should too. Most rideshare accident attorneys work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless you win.
What if the Uber driver was not at fault? ▼
If another driver caused the accident, you can file a claim against that driver's insurance. Additionally, if you were an Uber passenger, Uber's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may apply if the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance.
