Every day, people are injured while riding in Uber vehicles—either as passengers or bystanders. When those injuries are serious, the aftermath is overwhelming. The good news is that Uber carries a $1 million liability policy that can provide substantial compensation in the right circumstances. The personal injury lawyers at Miller & Zois know how to navigate these cases and fight to get our clients the full value of their claims.
Why Uber Accidents Happen
Uber drivers are not professionals. They are everyday drivers using their own vehicles, often without specialized training or commercial licenses. They are under pressure to take more trips, follow GPS directions, and keep passengers happy. That combination leads to mistakes, and those mistakes ultimately result in crashes. Because Uber passengers are frequently not wearing seatbelts, we see higher rates of ejection and severe injury.
