[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"When Uber drivers cause accidents, injured victims should not be left holding the bag. Uber accident victims usually fall into one of three categories:  1) Rideshare passengers 2) Drivers and passengers in other vehicles 3) Pedestrians or bicyclists If you were injured in an Uber accident, you can file an injury claim against the Uber driver's personal auto insurance. However, most personal auto insurance policies do not cover accidents that occur while operating a vehicle for a \"business use\" like ridesharing. In these cases, you can file a claim against Uber's company-provided auto insurance.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"In many cases, yes. However, an Uber sticker on a driver's car does not automatically mean that Uber will be liable for accidents involving that vehicle. Uber's liability for auto accidents involving one of its drivers depends on whether or not the Uber driver was on the clock at the time of the accident.  The easiest route to compensation is normally through an insurance claim. If the Uber driver was off the clock at the time of the accident, you can file a claim against the driver's personal auto insurance. If they were on the clock, you can file a claim against Uber's company-provided auto insurance.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"Though mandatory minimums and coverage types vary, almost every state requires drivers to carry some form of personal auto insurance.\u00a0Georgia law\u00a0mandates the following minimums: $25,000 in bodily injury liability per person ($50,000 per incident) and $25,000 in property damage liability.  Again, however, most personal auto insurance policies do not cover accidents that occur while the insured driver operates their vehicle for \u201cbusiness use.\u201d This means that Uber drivers are rarely covered by their personal auto insurance when accidents happen on the job.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Who Can Sue for Accidents Caused by Uber Drivers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I Sue Uber If Hit by One of Its Drivers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Insurance Does Uber Provide for Its Drivers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#Question2"}],"name":"Can You Sue Uber if You're Injured in a Georgia Rideshare Accident?","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Can You Sue Uber if You\u2019re Injured in a Georgia Rideshare Accident?","item":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/can-you-sue-uber-if-youre-injured\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
