In most cases, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the accident, but many complicating factors can either shorten or lengthen the time a victim has to file a claim following an accident. To protect their claim, accident victims should retain the services of the exceptional personal injury lawyers at Wilshire Law Firm to ensure they receive the maximum compensation they are entitled to.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: UBER’S POLICY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE

Uber classifies its drivers as “independent contractors” and not employees in an attempt to deflect liability for any injuries sustained in a crash. However, passengers are covered by up to $1 million per ride in commercial liability insurance.

Unlike taxi cab companies, Uber defines itself as a technology provider, not a transportation company or car service, allowing the company to deflect blame onto its drivers and making it more difficult for accident victims to make complaints or file claims against Uber.

Uber is notorious for being hard to reach by phone. Our attorneys have the knowledge and resources to touch base with Uber and its drivers.

California law sets insurance coverage requirements for all Transportation TNCs, including Uber. The company now provides $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 of contingent coverage between trips. However, the question of what happens when a driver has multiple ridesharing apps open simultaneously remains.

Injured pedestrians, bicyclists, and other motorists are also entitled to substantial compensation. Victims who are not passengers can still recover from the driver’s insurance policy in addition to Uber’s excess policy.
