Uber Accidents

If You Were Hurt in a Rideshare Collision, You Deserve Real Answers and Full Compensation

Uber rides are supposed to be a safer and more convenient way to travel. But when something goes wrong, you may be left with serious injuries and no clear explanation of who is responsible. Whether you were a paying passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, getting answers after an Uber accident can feel impossible.

At Need Justice Now, APC, our Uber accident attorneys in Los Angeles help individuals who were seriously injured in collisions involving Uber drivers. These cases involve overlapping insurance policies, corporate roadblocks, and legal questions that are different from standard car crash claims. We step in quickly, investigate thoroughly, and pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of your injury.

Who We Represent in Uber-Related Crashes

Uber accident claims can involve many different people. Each case is unique, and your rights depend on how and when the crash happened.

We represent:

• Uber passengers injured during a ride
• Pedestrians or cyclists hit by Uber drivers
• Drivers of other vehicles struck by a rideshare car
• Uber drivers injured by another motorist

No matter how you were involved, our firm can determine what coverage applies, who may be responsible, and what compensation you may be owed.

Understanding Uber’s Insurance Structure in California

Uber provides different levels of insurance depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash:

• Driver not logged into the app: Only the driver’s personal insurance applies
• Driver logged in but not yet matched with a rider: Limited coverage applies (typically $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident for injury)
• Driver matched with a passenger or actively transporting one: Uber’s full commercial policy applies, up to $1 million in coverage

We obtain driver logs, trip data, and app records to prove when the crash occurred and which insurance policy should apply. Our goal is to ensure you are not left with unpaid bills because the companies involved want to delay or deflect responsibility.

Why Uber Crashes Happen

Uber drivers are often distracted, rushed, or unfamiliar with the areas they are driving through. The pressure to accept and complete rides quickly increases the risk of poor decision-making behind the wheel.

Common causes of Uber crashes include:

• Texting or interacting with the Uber app
• Unsafe pickups or drop-offs
• Speeding to meet time expectations
• Distracted navigation or missed turns
• Fatigue from long driving hours
• Failing to check blind spots before merging

We work with crash reconstruction specialists, medical experts, and technology consultants to understand exactly how the crash happened and build a strong case for recovery.

Serious Injuries Deserve Full Compensation

Uber collisions can result in life-changing injuries. Whether you were inside the rideshare or hit by one, the damage is often severe. Our firm represents clients suffering from:

• Brain injuries and concussions
• Neck and spine trauma
• Broken bones
• Organ damage and internal bleeding
• Disfigurement or scarring
• Long-term disability

We also represent families in fatal Uber crash claims.

What Damages Can You Recover?

Depending on your situation, you may be able to recover compensation for:

• Ambulance and hospital bills
• Surgery, rehabilitation, and therapy
• Lost wages and reduced future income
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma and anxiety

In serious injury cases, we also consult with economists and life care planners to ensure your future needs are properly calculated.

What Makes Uber Claims Different?

Uber drivers are not classified as employees in most situations. That means Uber often tries to deny responsibility when a crash happens. Even when their commercial insurance applies, adjusters may delay payment or argue the driver was not “on the clock.” We know how these companies operate and how to respond.

Our team acts fast to preserve trip records, request key data, and push back when insurers try to reduce your claim. If needed, we prepare your case for litigation.
