When you take a ride in an Uber, Lyft, or other ridesharing service car, you are owed a duty of care by the company with which you took the ride. A duty of care means that the company must do everything in their power to ensure the safety and health of their customers. So when you get in to an Uber, Uber must ensure that no harm falls upon you while you are in their care – from the time you step in one of their vehicles to the time you step out.

Accidents occur every single day, and so while (some) Uber drivers play it safe when they drive you from point A to B, an accident is all but inevitable. It’s just a matter of when. Perhaps that question of when is answered during your ride and you are involved in an accident. What are passengers to do in the event of an accident? We break down what passengers must do after they are involved in an Uber accident.

Detalles del seguro Uber

Uber is an app that allows you to be paired with nearby drivers so you can be chauffeured to your destination. Drivers can elect to pick up other people along the route if the option is enabled, as well. The company allows normal, everyday citizens to drive and earn money; this practice was initially viewed as worthwhile, as it meant people could set their own hours and drive as often as they’d like. However, as more and more drivers began to sign up, it became apparent that there were liability issues. Because drivers are classified as independent contractors and not employees, Uber claimed that it was not responsible for their actions, and thus, for any damages resulting from accidents. The status of drivers was changed after an accident occurred involving the death of a young girl; she was hit by an Uber driver and Uber refused to take responsibility. Courts eventually ruled that Uber was liable for the actions of its drivers because of the insurance troubles.

In order to sign up for Uber, drivers must possess valid auto insurance. However, personal auto insurance policies do not cover accidents that occur during commercial driving, or driving that happens for money. Add to the fact that Uber was washing its hands of accidents, and you get the results of many incidents with no insurance payouts whatsoever. After the ruling, Uber began providing its drivers with insurance through James River Insurance Company. The insurance policies will change in the amount of coverage depending on the status of the ride. For example, an individual who has the app on but has not accepted any rides is covered for $50,000 en pasivo (daños por lesiones personales) y $30,000 daños materialesUna vez que el conductor acepta la solicitud de viaje de un cliente y se dirige hacia el cliente, la cobertura aumenta a $1,000,000 en cobertura de responsabilidad civil contra conductores no asegurados, y cobertura para conductores con seguro insuficiente. Esta cobertura continúa cuando se recoge al conductor y el monto se extiende también a él. Una vez que se deja al conductor, la póliza de seguro vuelve a la cobertura de la póliza de seguro. límite original $50,000. Upon closing the app and ending a shift, the driver is covered by his own personal auto insurance again. Esta información es muy importante. Según su situación en el accidente, podría haber distintos tipos de cobertura a considerar.

After an accident with an Uber driver, it is important that you follow these steps to ensure that you will receive the fairest compensation for your injuries. You should make sure that you receive some kind of medical assistance, whether at the scene of the accident or at a hospital. The Paramedics can examine you to determine if you need additional help. It is highly recommended that you look to them for assistance anyway instead of letting adrenaline mask your injuries. If you do not seek any medical help, the insurance company can claim that you were not injured in the accident and that you are using it as a way to pay for injuries you sustained elsewhere. Upon getting checked out, you should ask for a copy of the medical notes. Next, you should take photos of everything you can: your injuries, the damage to your vehicle, the other car, the scene of the accident, anyone involved, and more. This evidence will show that you were not exaggerating your claim. Eyewitnesses can also provide statements and testimonies on video if you have a smart phone. The personal information and details of the Uber driver should be recorded. If you were a customer in an Uber car, you should screenshot the trip and make a note of the trip details. You can then file a complaint with Uber, who can handle it internally if there were any other issues (for example, the driver may have been negligently hired, which would place all of the responsibility on Uber and make room for additional legal action). Lastly, you should seek the legal counsel of a qualified Uber accident lawyer in Los Angeles. Our law firm can connect you with an attorney para ayudarle con su caso.

ACCIDENTES DE LYFT, UBERX Y SIDECAR

With the use of mobile applications and ride sharing programs our office has seen a sharp rise in accidents caused by these drivers. Whether the driver was at fault or not, passengers in such cases are entitled recovery for injuries. However, in many such cases limited insurance coverage can prevent those hurt from recovering. In such cases it is important to pursue alternative or supplemental types of insurance to recover for your injuries.

Viajes compartidos y seguros: ¿puedo demandar si fui pasajero en un accidente de Lyft, Sidecar o UberX?

In short, yes.  You are permitted to sue for your injuries, however the main question becomes whether sufficient insurance coverage exist. Generally a common carrier is required to carry a commercial insurance policy. Commercial policies are usually in excess of $1 million dollars. However, ridesharing programs do not offer commercial policies and many injured parties are left with insufficient coverage. In California drivers are only required to carry minimum insurance policies. These policies are for $15,000 per injured party, with a maximum of $30,000 total regardless of the number of injured parties. Considering ridesharing programs generally carry multiple parties, recovery is often very limited based on insurance coverage. If you were involved in a car accident as a passenger in any one of these services makes sure to get a copy of insurance certificates. Obtain a copy of all insurance policies including that of the driver and at fault party. Depending on how the accident took place both parties can be at fault for the accident, therefore allowing you to recover from both parties.

¿Cuándo se puede responsabilizar a las empresas de viajes compartidos? ¿Son responsables las empresas?

A commonly asked question is whether the companies who developed the ride sharing program are liable. Depending on how the entities are formed liability can be reduced or avoided. However, ride sharing companies can be liable if they allow a driver who has negligent driving record to operate on the platform. In such cases the liability can be extended to them vicariously when they allow such parties to carry around passengers. Showing that companies are liable will require extensive litigation and will be warranted in the event that sufficient policies are not in pace. Companies who advertise a service and collect payment on behalf of the drivers are responsible for injuries. Often times passengers are not aware that these types of issues can occur. In fact they may not have any knowledge that insufficient insurance coverage can exist. In such cases it is important to understand your rights and properly navigate the system to ensure recovery for your injuries.

Responsabilidad del conductor: ¿Puede un pasajero demandar?

Yes, if you are passenger in a car accident regardless of fault, you are permitted to sue for your injuries. If for example you were in a ride sharing vehicle and an accident occurred, you would be permitted to file suit regardless of fault. Passengers are not considered to carry any fault in an accident, absent certain exceptions. Generally if you were involved in an accident as a passenger you are permitted to file suit against both the driver of the vehicle in which you were a passenger and the at fault party. If you were involved in an accident keep the following in mind: 1. Do not make any statements to the insurance company if they contact you; 2. Seek immediate medical attention for your injuries; and 3. Speak with a lawyer about your case. If you were injured you are entitled to compensation for your injuries.
