UberEats is a food delivery service created by Uber—the ridesharing giant. Before food delivery services like UberEats, getting your food delivered to wherever you were depended on whether the restaurant offered delivery. UberEats has allowed millions of people to order food from various restaurants. So how does UberEats work? UberEats partners with all type of restaurants—including fast food chains and local small-scale restaurants. Consumers order through the UberEats app, and an UberEats driver picks up the food for delivery once the order has been fulfilled. After the UberEats driver picks up the order, the consumer can track the driver through the app and see where their order is at all times.
UberEats is convenient for consumers—they never have to leave their homes to get food anymore. UberEats also created income opportunities for drivers. Drivers deliver for UberEats whenever they have spare time, or when they need some extra cash. UberEats drivers are constantly on the road, driving from place to place. With the increase of UberEats drivers on the road, there has been an increase of accidents involving UberEats drivers on active deliveries. Auto accidents can happen to anyone—and UberEats drivers are no exception.
What are your rights if you are involved in an accident with an UberEats driver or if you are injured while making a delivery? Can you file a lawsuit against UberEats? Can you sue Uber? Will Uber be liable for your injuries? Although the legal aspects of UberEats accidents can be complicated, you can file a lawsuit and be compensated for your injuries.

Uber’s Liability
All Uber drivers—including UberEats drivers—are independent contractors. As such, Uber does not carry any liability in the case of an accident. Therefore, if you are involved in an accident with an UberEats driver, the driver that caused the accident and your injuries will be liable. Any claims must be made against this liable party—which can be the UberEats driver or another party. You cannot sue UberEats directly, but you might be able to benefit from Uber’s insurance policy. For more information on how you might benefit from Uber’s insurance policy, you should contact an UberEats injury lawyer in Los Angeles, California as soon as possible.
Uber’s One Million Dollar Policy
Uber is known for the one million dollar policy it offers for drivers, passengers, and other parties in the case of accidents and injuries. This insurance policy also applies to accidents involving UberEats drivers. Uber’s one million dollar policy only applies under specific circumstances. Below, you will find information on how the one million dollar insurance policy applies to UberEats accidents:
- If the UberEats driver is logged onto the app and he or she is available for food requests, the insurance policy will partially apply in the case of an accident. Under the partial one million dollar policy coverage, there is up to $50,000 coverage per person, $100,000 per accidents, and $25,000 for property damage.
- If the UberEats driver has accepted a food request—and is in the delivery process while the accident happens—the one million dollar policy would apply. Under this insurance policy, any injured victims would be covered by a $1 million uninsured and underinsured and a $1 million liability policy.
From the points above, it is clear that the insurance policy only applies when the UberEats driver is on duty. If the UberEats driver is not on duty at the time of the accident, Uber’s one million dollar insurance policy will not apply, and all injured victims would need to make claims to the liable party’s personal insurance policy—victims would only be able to receive the amount of the driver’s policy.
Filing a Claim
If you were injured in an UberEats accident, the first thing you should do is identify the liable party. It does not matter if the driver who caused the accident was the UberEats driver or another driver—you must file a claim against their personal insurance policies. If the liable driver is uninsured or underinsured, you might be eligible to receive compensation under Uber’s million dollar insurance policy. If your UberEats accident occurred under the circumstances mentioned above, you should immediately file a claim with Uber’s insurance policy. Unfortunately, insurance companies will do anything to deny a claim; therefore, you should contact an experienced attorney for accidents involving UberEats as soon as possible. Our attorneys will fight for your right to compensation and will do everything within their reach to ensure that you recover the maximum compensation you deserve.
Compensation Available
If you are injured in an accident involving an UberEats driver, you need to contact our Los Angeles UberEats accident attorneys immediately. Our attorneys will guide you towards filing your claim and receiving the compensation that you deserve. What compensation might you receive if you file a claim? Below, you will find the different type of compensation you might receive:
- Medical expenses—if you acquired medical bills because of your injuries, you might be eligible to receive compensation for all medical bills related to your injuries.
- Lost income—if your injuries left you unable to work, you might receive compensation for the income you lost and will continue to lose.
- Pain and suffering—besides physical pain, injuries can lead to mental and emotional distress. If your injuries lead to depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress, for example, you might be eligible to receive compensation for pain and suffering.
- Property damage—if your vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, you might be eligible to receive compensation for property damage.
- Punitive damages—if the liable driver intentionally and maliciously caused your injuries, punitive damages might be awarded.
As you can see, there are a few types of compensation that you might receive. However, you should not expect to receive every type of compensation mentioned above. Instead, you should immediately contact our attorneys for an evaluation of your claim. Our attorneys will give you more information on the type of compensation you might be eligible to receive based on the details of your claim.s
