DEALING WITH UBER AFTER AN ACCIDENT IN ALABAMA

If you aren’t familiar with how rideshare apps limit liability in accident cases, it can be a confusing system to navigate. Uber designates its drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, which means they can restrict the benefits provided and have drivers carry their own type of insurance. Here are the different scenarios possible when it comes to an Uber driver’s responsibility after an accident:

DRIVER NOT LOGGED INTO THE UBER APP

In this case, Uber cannot be held accountable for the driver’s actions. The driver’s personal insurance will be used. If your damages exceed the limits of the driver’s insurance, you can file a lawsuit to recover the compensation you deserve.

DRIVER LOGGED INTO THE UBER APP, BUT NO RIDE ACCEPTED

Here, Uber will provide a limited amount of coverage for the accident. Your first source of compensation will still be the driver’s personal insurance, however. If your damages exceed both the driver’s insurance and the additional limited coverage provided by Uber, you have the option of filing a lawsuit to ensure all your losses are properly addressed.

DRIVER LOGGED INTO THE UBER APP AND ACCEPTED A RIDE

In this scenario, Uber’s full insurance policy is activated. After you file a claim with the driver’s insurance company, you will also be able to file a claim with Uber’s insurer for up to $1,000,000. If this combined amount still doesn’t cover your damages, you can file a lawsuit to recoup the maximum amount you need to address your losses.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO FILE AN UBER ACCIDENT LAWSUIT?

The statute of limitations in Alabama dictates that you have two years from the date of your accident to file your claim. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the opportunity to claim the damages you need to take care of yourself and your family after a serious Uber accident. Regardless of when your accident occurred, however, it’s a good idea to reach out to an experienced personal injury attorney who can file paperwork and communicate with insurance companies and third parties on your behalf, all of which can be overwhelming when you have been injured. Our team at Heninger Garrison Davis is on your side and will stand up for your rights.
