Dallas Uber Accident Attorney

Uber is a common rideshare service that thousands of people in and around the Dallas area use each day.

Our Dallas Uber accident attorney understand these cases and are ready to help if you or a loved one have been injured in a rideshare incident.

Uber accidents can lead to serious injuries

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, nearly 250,000 people were injured, and 3,639 were killed in crashes during the latest reporting year. While we do not have exact statistics for how many of these incidents involved rideshare vehicles like Uber, we do know that these incidents occur.

Uber drivers are no different from any other driver on the roadway. These are regular people using their personal vehicles to make money. Uber drivers generally have no particular driver training and are prone to the same mistakes on the roadway as anybody else.

Who pays for Uber accident expenses?

One of the most common questions about an accident involving an Uber vehicle is who is responsible for paying injury and property damage expenses. This could be a complicated question, and it depends on the Uber driver’s status at the time of the crash.

  • If an Uber driver is on their personal time and not signed in to work on the Uber app, then the driver’s personal insurance carrier will be responsible for accident damages and expenses.
  • If the Uber driver is signed in to work on the app but does not have a passenger, then the driver’s personal insurance carrier still provides primary coverage. Limited Uber insurance coverage is available if a claim is denied or if coverage limits are exhausted.
  • If an Uber driver has a passenger or is on the way to get one when a crash occurs, Uber’s one million dollar liability policy kicks in and covers expenses.

Just like any other car accident, insurance carriers in these cases will be notoriously difficult to deal with. Insurance companies are for-profit entities that will do what they can to limit any settlement they make.
