Let Us Navigate Uber’s Insurance Policy for You
Accidents that involve Uber vehicles are more complex than a typical car accident case. Uber’s insurance policy might cover the accident, but coverage depends on who caused the accident, as well as the Uber driver’s status at the time of the crash. If you work with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we will sort through the insurance and legal issues for you. Here is a quick run-down of how Uber’s insurance policy works in New York State*:- If the Uber driver caused the accident, while “on the app” (i.e., actually conducting Uber business), Uber’s insurance policy might provide liability coverage. It covers injuries and property damage to third parties, including other drivers and pedestrians, as well as occupants of the Uber vehicle.
- Uber also maintains personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. It covers occupants of the Uber vehicle as well as pedestrians or bicyclists struck by the insured Uber vehicle.
- If the Uber driver was not transporting or looking for a passenger at the time, then the Uber driver’s personal insurance policy applies, and Uber would not be responsible for covering damages.
- A third-party driver’s insurance policy might also apply, depending on fault.

Like all states, New York has a set limit on the amount of time you have to file a car accident case in civil court:- Per New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, if you are filing a personal injury suit, the clock starts ticking the day the accident occurred.
- Per Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1, the statute of limitations to bring a wrongful death action begins on the day of the decedent’s (your loved one’s) death.
