With the advent of the smartphone, rideshare apps such as Uber have eliminated the need for making a phone call for a taxi, to a simple tap-on-your-app to obtain a ride within minutes at a reduced cost of a taxi.
The Uber app is simple to use and is an easy way to obtain a low-cost ride across town. Uber has many different vehicles available for instant transportation with a simple tap of a smartphone.
Undoubtedly, Uber and other rideshare services have reduced the number of DWI accidents in the city of Houston by simply making available low-cost and instant transportation for those who may have been drinking.
Uber classifies its vehicles as UberX, Uber XL, UberSELECT, UberBLACK, UberSUV, and even UberLUX. Regardless of the class of vehicle you choose, if you were involved and seriously injured in an accident as a passenger in an Uber vehicle or in an accident caused by an Uber driver, you may need the help of an Uber car accident lawyer.

Whichever liability insurance policy kicks in to cover an accident caused by an Uber driver depends on the driver’s status at the time of the wreck. In practice, if the wreck occurs when the rideshare app is off, the driver’s personal auto policy should apply.
If the wreck happens when the app is on, the driver’s personal auto policy may apply as primary, and his commercial policy may apply as secondary insurance. Finally, the commercial Uber policy should apply to the crash if the accident happens during a ride.
Filing a personal injury claim from an Uber wreck can be tricky because some auto policies may provide more coverage for personal injuries than others. Fortunately, at the Baumgartner Law Firm, we know the insurance coverage issues involved with ridesharing crashes. We have an incredible track record of success in helping our clients obtain maximum compensation.
If you are injured in a rideshare accident with an Uber driver, you have a right to pursue legal damages for your injuries. Many different automobile insurance policies may apply.

Personal Injury Claims Against Uber Drivers:
One of the complexities of an Uber accident is the insurance coverage available for personal injury damages. There is a legal question on which insurance policy applies to the Uber driver. Uber considers its drivers as “contracted partners.” There has been some ongoing litigation in other states regarding the drivers’ employment status.
Accordingly, Uber’s position after an accident caused by their driver is that Uber is not liable for the accident. However, that driver may be covered under the Uber commercial insurance policy if they were booked during the crash. Talking with one of Houston’s best personal injury lawyers soon after an Uber accident is highly recommended.
Insurance Issues in Uber Cases:
Nevertheless, Uber requires its drivers to obtain a commercial policy that may or may not apply in an accident caused by the Uber driver’s negligence. In short, the accident caused by the Uber driver may be covered by one of three different policies. The driver’s auto policy. An Uber commercial policy and even the passenger’s own auto insurance policy if the passenger had underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage at the time of the wreck.
