Rideshare services like Uber make getting around San Diego convenient — until an accident turns that convenience into chaos. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, you deserve accountability and a path to recovery. For more than 75 years, CaseyGerry has helped injured clients across California hold corporations and negligent drivers responsible.

After a rideshare collision, every decision you make can affect your claim and recovery.

  1. Check for injuries and call 911. Safety always comes first.
  2. Document the scene. Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and injuries.
  3. Get contact details. Collect driver, passenger, and witness information.
  4. Report the crash in the Uber app — but avoid admitting fault or speculating.
  5. Call an experienced attorney before speaking to insurance adjusters.

Liability in Uber crashes can be complex because multiple parties may share responsibility:

  • The Uber driver
  • Uber’s corporate insurance carrier
  • Another negligent driver
  • Vehicle manufacturers or third parties

The applicable insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status in the app at the time of the accident:

  • Offline: Only the driver’s personal insurance applies.
  • Available / waiting for a ride: Uber provides limited liability coverage.
  • En route or during a trip: Uber currently provides up to $1 million in liability coverage for passengers and others injured — coverage limits and terms may change under new state or company policies taking effect in 2026.

To help the public understand these coverage changes, CaseyGerry attorney David Casey III explains this in more details about the upcoming 2026 Uber insurance changes in this video: https://youtu.be/i8ggBcZ1RsM
