Yes. As long as the accident was caused by the Uber driver’s negligence, you may file a claim to recover damages. However, the process of recovering compensation for injuries and other losses that are sustained in an accident with a rideshare company such as Uber can be particularly challenging. Uber accident claims are far more complicated than standard vehicle accident claims, because of the business relationship between Uber drivers and Uber. Uber drivers are not Uber employees -- they are independent contractors. You must first file a claim against the Uber driver’s personal car insurance policy. However, if the driver was working and earning money when the accident occurred, the insurance company will deny the claim because personal car insurance policies only provide coverage for times when the vehicle is operated for personal use, not for paid work. And while Uber does provide car insurance, the coverage varies depending upon the situation. If you were injured in an accident with an Uber driver, it is best to consult with an experienced car accident attorney.
