How KRLG Injury Lawyers Can Help After an Uber Accident in Phoenix, AZ
Uber and other rideshare accidents often involve multiple insurance policies and overlapping rules, so it is not always clear which policy applies or how much coverage is available. If you don’t file the right kind of claim, you could walk away with substantially less compensation than you’re entitled to under the law.
At KRLG Injury Lawyers, we’ll work hard to put maximum compensation into your pocket if you hire us.
Some of the steps we can take toward that end include:
- Investigate the accident thoroughly and collect key evidence
- Determining which insurance policies apply to your case
- Working with experts in accident reconstruction and medicine to support your claim
- Calculating the full extent of your damages, both economic and non-economic
- Handling all the negotiations and communications with the insurance companies
- Filing a lawsuit and taking your case to trial if the insurer refuses to pay a fair amount

Insurance Coverage in Uber Accident Cases
Rideshare accident claims differ from standard car accident cases because of Uber’s commercial insurance policies.
Which policy applies depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash:
- Driver is offline: Only the driver’s personal auto insurance applies.
- Driver is logged in but waiting for a ride: Uber provides contingent coverage of up to $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage.
- Driver is en route to pick up a passenger or has a passenger: Uber’s $1 million commercial liability policy applies.
Sorting out these details is crucial because they can directly impact how much your case is worth. Our Uber accident lawyers in Phoenix will identify which policy covers your injuries and pursue claims accordingly.
We’ll Fight for Compensation Based on All of Your Uber Accident Injuries
The force of a car accident can cause lasting harm, especially in rideshare crashes where passengers almost always aren’t prepared for impact.
We can help Uber accident victims recover damages for injuries such as:
- Broken bones
- Crushing injuries
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Catastrophic injuries
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Burn injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Back injuries
- Leg injuries
- Severe lacerations and scarring
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Wrongful death of a loved one
Injuries that seem minor at first can still develop into long-term problems, which is why it is critical to seek medical care immediately and document your injuries for your claim.
What Damages Can I Recover in an Uber Accident Case?
A successful Uber accident claim can provide compensation for both your financial losses and the personal toll of the accident.
In Phoenix, victims may recover economic and non-economic damages for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
Punitive damages may be available in rare cases involving extreme conduct from the at-fault party. Our legal team will carefully calculate all of your damages to make sure no losses are overlooked.
How Much Time Do I Have to File an Uber Accident Lawsuit in Arizona?
In Arizona, the statute of limitations for most car accident lawsuits is two years from the date of the crash. If you fail to file your claim within that time, you may lose the right to recover damages.
There may be exceptions if a government vehicle was involved or if the victim was a minor, but you should not wait to get legal advice. Contacting our personal injury lawyers as soon as possible is the best way to ensure that your claim is filed on time.
