Uber was formed around 2010 in San Francisco, and began as an app for Bay Area residents to get cheap and easily accessible rides. Since then, Uber has spread worldwide and become a multibillion dollar company, with hundreds of thousands of drivers in dozens of countries.
There is no denying that Uber has brought many advantages to the areas in which it operates, including cheaper and higher quality service than most taxi companies, thousands of new jobs created, and decreased rates of drunk driving. But despite these benefits, Uber can also be problematic, particularly with regard to how it handles car accidents.
Unfortunately, Uber has a patchy history of helping its drivers and passengers when they get into car accidents. In theory, all drivers and passengers are insured, and Uber_s insurance is supposed to help you if you get in a crash, but this doesn_t always work out in practice.
If you have been in an Uber accident, Uber will often try to make the problem go away rather than giving you the help you deserve. When you find yourself in such a situation, the best thing you can do is hire a strong and competent personal injury attorney to help you beat the system.
Uber drivers have a tough job. As an Uber driver, you are likely spending long hours every day on the road, frequently going to new and unfamiliar areas where you do not know the layout of the roads, and sometimes dealing with distracting passengers on top of everything.
All of this greatly increases Uber drivers_ risk of accidents.
Unfortunately, Uber drivers are not the only ones who have to worry. Uber screens its drivers before hiring them, but some critics argue that it does not go far enough and allows bad drivers to slip through the cracks.
The vast majority of Uber drivers, of course, are safe and responsible drivers. But there are a few bad eggs who should not be on the road, and these irresponsible drivers can cause a lot of damage. When this happens, and there were previous warning signs that a driver was unfit to drive for Uber, then the company should be held responsible for hiring a bad driver.
but only if it happens during a certain period. Uber recognizes three different periods that apply to its drivers once the app is on, and the level of coverage you will be eligible to receive depends on which period you were in.
The first period is when the app is on and you are waiting for a request. In this period, you are not fully insured by Uber, although you are entitled to liability coverage. Unfortunately, your own insurance policy might not cover you in this period, either, leading to a _gap,_ which many drivers fill by purchasing supplemental rideshare insurance.
The second period occurs when you have accepted a ride request and are on your way to pick up a passenger.
The third period occurs when the passenger is in your car and you are headed to the destination.
During these periods, you are fully covered by Uber.
One important note here: if the accident happens during the second period, then Uber may try to deny that you had actually accepted the rideshare request, because there will be no witnesses. This is why you should take a screenshot of the accepted request immediately after an accident, if you get into an accident in Period 2.
No matter what period you were in when the accident happened, TorkLaw will fight to ensure that you are compensated to the limits of any and all insurance policies available to you. We will ensure that Uber lives up to its stated obligations.
Uber fully ensures all its passengers. If you were injured as a passenger in an Uber vehicle, then you are entitled to compensation. Of course, you might have trouble getting this compensation, which is why it is important that you hire a lawyer to ensure that Uber follows through on its commitments.
