How Liability Works in a Cambria Heights Uber Accident
If you were injured in an Uber accident as a passenger, your medical bills and related economic losses are first covered under the no-fault insurance policy carried on the vehicle you were riding in, up to $50,000. Beyond no-fault, Uber maintains tiered liability coverage that depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash.
Limited coverage applies when a driver is logged into the app but waiting for a request, while up to $1 million in liability coverage may apply when the driver is en route to or actively transporting a passenger. Abaev Law Firm investigates the full extent of your injuries and the driver’s app status at the time of your accident to determine which coverage applies.
Can You Sue Uber Directly After an Accident in Cambria Heights?
Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors, which can complicate efforts to hold the company itself liable. However, that doesn’t mean Uber escapes responsibility entirely. If Uber failed to properly vet a driver with a history of reckless driving, allowed a driver to remain on the platform despite prior complaints, or if a flaw in the app itself contributed to the accident, there may be grounds to pursue a claim against the company.
