A car accident can be physically, mentally, and financially traumatic. If you were injured, you may be in pain or unable to perform certain daily functions. If your vehicle was damaged, you’ll need to repair or replace it. There’s also the matter of insurance. If you were in an accident involving an Uber vehicle, this could complicate matters even further.

Cory Watson Attorneys is well-equipped to handle your Uber accident case. We can use our legal knowledge and savvy to fight for all the damages you deserve. This can make the process significantly less painful for you and ease your concerns during this troublesome time.
Compensation You Can Recover After an Uber Accident
If you’ve been in an accident involving an Uber vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation. The statute of limitations for a civil lawsuit is two years, per AL Code § 6-2-38. It’s recommended that you file a lawsuit as soon as possible.
If you’ve never been in a car accident, you may not know what type of compensation you’re entitled to. Even if you have, you may be unaware of many potentially recoverable damages. Depending on the nature of the accident, you may be entitled to compensation. This includes but is not limited to:
- Medical bills, such as ambulance transport, emergency care, prescriptions, assistive devices, physical therapy, and ongoing care
- Vehicle damage
- Lost wages due to missed work
- Lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
You may also be entitled to compensation if you’ve suffered mental and emotional anguish like post-traumatic stress disorder. If your injuries leave you with a disability, you can recover compensation for future care you will need. If you need surgery, physical therapy, or special disability accommodations because of your Uber car accident, our professionals at Cory Watson Attorneys will include those costs in your claim.
At Cory Watson Attorneys, our lawyers will help you fight to recover compensation because we understand how difficult life can be after a significant car accident.
How Uber Insurance Works After a Car Accident
Car insurance policies on their face aren’t always easy to understand. Policies are often intricate and contain several exceptions and loopholes when it comes to coverage. When you get into an accident involving an Uber driver, things can get even more complex.
According to Uber’s website, the company offers liability coverage in specific circumstances. If the driver is signed into the app and waiting to match with a rider when they cause an accident, their own policy should cover the accident. If the insurer refuses, Uber offers:
- $50,000 in bodily injury per person
- $100,000 in bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 in property damage per accident
If the Uber driver is on their way to pick up riders or in the middle of a trip when they cause an accident, Uber offers $1,000,000 liability coverage.
If another party caused the accident, such as the driver of another vehicle, you would hold that party liable.
