Uber is one of the largest rideshare companies in the world. Hundreds of thousands of drivers have transported millions of people for a decade, but not all trips have gone smoothly and without incident. There have been various accidents ad situations that resulted in people getting injured – from drivers and workers to riders and guests to other drivers and pedestrians on the street. In the wake of accidents, Uber may choose to deactivate the driver’s account and lock him out of transporting anyone for a period of time. These lock outs may be indefinite depending on the context of the situation, the fault of the driver, and much more. If your Uber account was locked or if you want to know more about reactivating your Uber account, you can contact the Downtown LA Law Group today. We’ll inform you about the inner workings of Uber’s process, and if you feel the need to take legal action, we will readily assist you.
Reasons for Uber Deactivation
Uber deactivation can occur for various reasons. One of the most common is simply getting into an accident for which you are at fault, especially if you end up costing the company a large amount of money in an insurance settlement. They may not want to take the risk of insuring you and allowing you to potentially endanger others anymore, and they could opt to cancel your account. Some of the reasons for Uber deactivation include:
You will get some kind of message when your account has been disabled or deactivated. Examples include “The partner account you drive under has been disabled” or “Your account has been placed on hold.”
Reactivating your Uber Account
We often receive a lot of questions from drivers who have been deactivated and wish to return to their jobs. Examples of the questions we get asked are:
The most important aspect of reactivating is understanding that you should be respectful and polite to any representative, simply because they can choose not to reactivate you if you show a problem. Further, depending on the reason for deactivation, you will have to follow a specific procedure. For example, if your documents expired, simply renew them and upload proof.
If you were in accidents or your safety level was in question, you can take Uber-sponsored courses and receive a certificate that you can upload. For any other violations, you will need to contact the company or go to a hub for remediation.
Traffic accidents should always be dealt with, and if your license is suspended, you should go through the necessary channels and probation to get it renewed.
Some situations will not result in reactivation, such as those involving serious complaints or fraud.
Important Uber Insurance Information
Uber’s insurance policy dictates that you will be covered from the time you turn on the app to the time you turn it off. While the app is on but you have not accepted a ride, your coverage is $50,000 in bodily injury per person, $100,000 in bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 in property damage per accident. When you accept a ride, the policy increases to $1,000,000 third-party liability, Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury, and contingent comprehensive and collision (with a $1,000 deductible).
If you were in an Uber accident that resulted in a lot of damages, you could potentially receive a large settlement. However, if a long, drawn out battle with Uber does occur, you may find yourself released from the program, as you could present an accident risk.
Compensation from Uber Accidents
If you were injured in an Uber accident, you may find it difficult to contact the company due to a locked account. Our goal is to ensure that your account is reactivated and that you are given the fairest compensation available for your damages. We’ll strive to win you the following coverage:
