Uber is easily the most recognized rideshare service company in the U.S. and in many other countries around the world. Uber was founded in March 2009 in San Francisco, California by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick. For its first two years (2009 through 2011) the rideshare company was known as UberCab. Uber has consistently provided its millions of riders with a convenient transportation option while simultaneously providing drivers with a source of income. Although the majority of Uber drivers and passengers have positive experiences with the rideshare company, there have been many instances of negative experiences that result in serious injuries.
With the increase of both Uber drivers and Uber passengers, the instances of injuries caused by Uber accidents have also increased. Uber accidents occur for a variety of reasons. The Uber driver could be at fault just like other unaffiliated drivers could be at fault. Whatever the case, the parties harmed in Uber accidents can be certain that they have the right to file a claim against Uber to be compensated after an accident.

Uber’s One Million Dollar Insurance Policy
Do you have the right to do anything after an Uber accident? Yes, you have the right to sue Uber for the accident and receive compensation. Unfortunately, many people believe that they cannot take action against Uber after suffering an accident. However, you could benefit from Uber’s one million dollar insurance policy. Uber’s one million dollar policy could apply to their drivers and passengers in case of an accident. Passengers are always covered by Uber’s one million dollar policy. However, Uber drivers are only covered if they are logged into the service or on an active ride. Uber’s insurance policy is also contingent on any other policies that might apply (such as the liable party’s insurance policy). Whether you suffered an Uber passenger injury or a driver injury, you could be eligible to receive compensation if you file a claim.

You should always file an accident report with the police.
