Getting Uber’s Insurance to Pay

Getting into an accident when Uber is involved makes your case a little more different than if you had been injured in a collision with a regular driver in Nashville. This is because Uber itself is insured, but so is the Uber driver.

You’ll go through Uber’s $1,000,000 auto insurance policy if you were injured while the Uber driver was on the clock and either was waiting to pick up a passenger, was actively transporting a passenger, or had just dropped off a passenger and was preparing for their next trip.

If an Uber driver struck you under any other circumstances, your Nashville Uber accident attorney would help you claim through the Uber driver’s auto insurer.

Claims against Uber Drivers

Uber drivers are obligated to carry auto insurance in addition to the coverage they have through Uber itself. This is for two reasons. One, Uber’s coverage does not extend protections to the driver in the event of an accident. Two, the driver isn’t going to be driving for Uber everywhere they go, so their own auto coverage will come into effect if they are ever involved in an accident while off the clock.

If Uber’s auto insurer refuses to pay out on your Nashville claim, you’ll file a claim with the driver’s insurance company to recover your damages. When your rideshare lawyer establishes liability, the insurer will be required to cover your damages up to the limits of the Uber driver’s insurance policy.

In layman’s terms, if your total losses exceed the limits of the auto policy, we’ll need to file a civil lawsuit against the driver in order for you to be fully repaid.
