Uber Accidents Aren’t Like Other Car Accidents.
You got in—or were struck by—an Uber, and now you’re injured, dealing with medical bills, missed work, and a claims process that feels designed to confuse you. Was the driver “on the app”? Which insurance policy applies? Is it Uber’s coverage, the driver’s personal policy, or both?
Uber’s insurers are large, well-funded, and experienced at minimizing payouts. You need someone on your side who understands exactly how rideshare claims work in California—and San Francisco’s dense streets, where Uber traffic is part of daily life.
How Uber Accident Claims Work
Understanding California’s Rideshare Insurance Rules
Uber accident claims depend heavily on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash:
App Off The Uber driver’s personal auto insurance applies, just like any other car accident.
App On, Waiting for a Ride Request: Uber provides limited liability coverage—typically $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident / $25,000 property damage—if the driver’s personal policy doesn’t cover it.
En Route to Pick Up a Rider or During a Trip Uber’s $1 million liability policy generally applies, covering injuries to passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, or occupants of other vehicles.
Figuring out which coverage applies—and getting the insurer to honor it—is where a rideshare-experienced attorney makes the difference. We pull trip data, app records, and driver information to prove exactly what happened and which policy is on the hook.
Section: Who We Represent
If You Were Hurt in an Uber Accident, We’re on Your Side
Uber Passengers Injured while riding in an Uber? You’re typically covered by Uber’s $1 million policy regardless of who caused the crash—but insurers still fight claims. We make sure you get full value.
Other Drivers Hit by an Uber If an Uber driver hit your vehicle, we pursue the applicable Uber policy or the driver’s personal insurance on your behalf.
Pedestrians & Cyclists Struck by an Uber driver while walking or biking in San Francisco? We build your claim against the correct insurance policy from day one.
Uber Drivers Themselves Injured while driving for Uber—whether hit by another vehicle or in a single-car accident? We help you understand your coverage options and pursue compensation.

Section: How It Works
4 Steps to Getting Compensated
- Free Consultation Tell us what happened—who you were (passenger, driver, pedestrian) and details of the crash. We’ll explain your options at no cost.
- Investigation We pull Uber trip data, app status records, police reports, and witness statements to establish exactly what happened and which insurance applies.
- Negotiation We deal directly with Uber’s insurer or the driver’s insurer, pushing for a settlement that covers your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Resolution Most claims settle, but we’re prepared to litigate if the insurer won’t offer a fair outcome.
Uber Accident Claims Move Fast — You Should Too.
Uber’s insurers begin working the claim immediately, often reaching out to accident victims before they’ve even seen a doctor. App and trip data can also be harder to obtain the longer you wait. California generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a claim, but the sooner you get legal representation, the stronger your case.
Section: FAQ
Does it matter if I was a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian? Yes—it affects which insurance policy applies and how the claim is filed, but in all cases you may be entitled to compensation if the Uber driver was at fault.
What if the Uber driver wasn’t at fault — another car hit us? You can still pursue a claim, either against the at-fault driver’s insurance, Uber’s policy, or both, depending on the coverage available.
How much does it cost to hire Tien Law Firm? Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so we only get paid if we win your case.
Will Uber deactivate the driver or affect my ride history? That’s outside our role—our focus is solely on recovering compensation for your injuries. We can discuss any concerns during your consultation.
What if I already talked to Uber’s insurance company? That’s okay—but be cautious about giving recorded statements or accepting settlement offers before speaking with an attorney. We can step in at any stage.
