Who Is Responsible or at Fault for an Uber or Lyft Accident?

Why You Need the Uber Accident Lawyers at 1-800-HURT-911®

If the Uber driver is at fault for your accident, you need personal injury lawyers who know how to make Uber comply with court orders to turn over information about the car accident.

It has been alleged that Uber fails to provide information even when it was required by a court order. An Uber contractor whose job was to provide the information pursuant to subpoenas, search warrants, and court orders, claimed in a lawsuit that Uber violated federal law by systematically providing “as little information as possible.”

It’s really not surprising because we have caught insurance companies lying about how much insurance there was to cover a car accident.

What if the Uber or Lyft Driver Didn’t Cause the Accident?

But Uber and Lyft have substantial uninsured and underinsured insurance coverage to pay you above what the other car has, so you will get the money you deserve.

How Much Insurance Do Uber or Lyft Drivers Have?

New York taxis are only insured for $100,000, but while working, Uber and Lyft drivers have far more insurance to pay you for your pain and suffering.

New York taxis are usually insured by American Transit Insurance and Hereford Insurance or are self-insured with a bond. Even Uber and Lyft are covered for the first $100,000 with American Transit Insurance or Hereford Insurance.

Uber and Lyft cars are ride-sharing companies, not taxis, and when logged into the Uber or Lyft app, they are insured for a lot more money than a taxi.

If you had an Uber or Lyft accident, we know how to find all the insurance money. We may even be able to get you much more than the insurance limits listed below.

Tool to Read the Correct Time in Uber App Data Reports

A common way that Uber can try to defend a personal injury lawsuit against them in a hit-and-run accident is to prove that the car involved in the hit-and-run accident wasn’t an Uber. Uber will provide a copy of the Uber App Data Report to show that the Uber car was nowhere near the accident at the time of the accident.

The Uber App Data Report shows time in UTC which is Coordinated Universal Time. Additionally, the Uber App report shows time on a 24-hour clock. To read the App report, you need to convert UTC to New York time (Eastern time) or your time wherever you are. This is a useful calculator tool to convert UTC to New York time which shows time in both 12 and 24 hours.

Do You Need a Lawyer if You Were Assaulted by an Uber Driver?

It’s very, very rare that someone is assaulted by an Uber driver or Lyft driver, but it does happen. According to the CBS video below, Uber says in 2020, there were 141 rapes and 998 sexual assaults between Uber drivers and passengers reported during the COVID lockdown when far fewer people were using Uber.

If you were assaulted by an Uber driver, you are entitled to be compensated.

You will need a lawyer who can file a lawsuit against Uber to obtain money damages for you. In fact, in this CBS interview (at 3:56), Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says, “But we want to be held accountable, which is why we were the first company to publish a comprehensive safety report.”

1-800-HURT-911 NY lawyers will hold Uber accountable if you were raped, sexually assaulted, or physically assaulted by an Uber driver.
