What Is My West Palm Beach Uber Accident Worth?
Uber accidents can involve different scenarios. You may have been a passenger in an Uber that crashed. Or, you might have been struck by an Uber while riding your bike.
You may be entitled to compensation for your damages based on the circumstances of your accident. The severity of your injuries and the impact on your future will determine how much settlement money you could receive. Damages may include:
- Present or future medical expenses (e.g., physical therapy, rehabilitation)
- Emotional duress
- Lost wages, or the inability to continue earning a wage
- Medication costs
- Loss of consortium, if a loved one was severely injured or passed away in an Uber accident
These are some of the most common types of damages associated with rideshare accidents. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list.
Our attorney, familiar with Uber accident cases in West Palm Beach, can help you make a comprehensive list of your damages and ensure we pursue the full and fair compensation you need to move forward.

Who Is Liable for My Uber Accident?
Typically, there are two possible liable parties in an Uber accident:
- An Uber driver
- Another third-party driver that caused the accident
Determining Liability
Liability rests on assigning negligence. To assign liability, your lawyer must show the following:
- That the liable party owed you a duty of care.
- They breached this duty of care.
- This failure caused your Uber accident and your injuries.
- This accident resulted in you suffering damages.
To establish this breach of care, our team can analyze the following pieces of evidence:
- Police and crash reports
- Traffic camera footage
- Phone camera footage
- Eyewitness statements
- Medical invoices
- Medical reports that explain the extent of your accident-related injuries
Our West Palm Beach Uber accident lawyer will compile any evidence relevant to your case and use it to fight for fair compensation.
How does Uber’s Insurance Work?
Uber’s insurance coverage varies depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:
- If the driver’s app was turned off: Only the driver’s personal insurance will be involved in the settlement.
- If the driver’s app was turned on and they were waiting for a ride: In this case, Uber offers a maximum of $100,000 worth of third-party liability coverage.
- If the driver was en-route to a passenger or carrying passengers: Uber provides coverage of $1 million if the driver was carrying passengers or on the way to pick up passengers.
If you’re unsure how these coverage limits will impact your case, we can help.
