How Common Are Uber Accidents?

While Uber offers convenience and efficiency, it’s not without risk. Uber’s own safety reports have documented hundreds of fatalities and thousands of injuries involving their drivers in recent years. With the continued growth of rideshare platforms, these numbers may rise.

What Causes Uber Accidents in Georgia?

Most Uber accidents are caused by driver error or unsafe conditions. Common contributing factors include:

• Distracted driving (e.g., checking the Uber app or GPS)
• Fatigue due to long driving hours
• Speeding to meet ride quotas
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Driving under the influence
• Poor road or weather conditions
• Unsafe stops for pickups or drop-offs

Each case is unique and may involve multiple contributing causes. We investigate every angle to build a strong case.

What Injuries Occur in Uber Accidents?

Rideshare accidents can cause serious, life-altering injuries. Common Uber accident injuries include:

• Whiplash
• Sprains and strains
• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Broken bones and fractures
• Cuts and abrasions
• Paralysis or spinal cord damage
• Mental health conditions like PTSD or anxiety
• Wrongful death

Regardless of how minor or severe your injuries appear, it’s critical to seek immediate medical care and then contact an attorney.

What Damages Can I Recover After a Georgia Uber Accident?

Victims of Uber accidents may be entitled to compensatory damages, including:

Economic Damages:

• Medical expenses (ER visits, surgery, rehab)
• Lost wages and future earning capacity
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket costs

Non-Economic Damages:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• PTSD, anxiety, depression
• Diminished quality of life
• Loss of consortium

Punitive Damages may also be awarded if the at-fault party’s actions were malicious or grossly negligent.

Our lawyers will evaluate your total losses and fight for maximum compensation.

How Does Insurance Impact My Uber Accident Claim?

Uber provides tiered insurance coverage, depending on the driver’s status during the accident:

• App off: Only the driver’s personal insurance applies
• App on, no ride accepted: Uber provides limited liability coverage
• Ride accepted or passenger on board: Uber provides up to $1 million in liability coverage

Determining which coverage applies can be complex. Our legal team will analyze the accident timeline, driver records, and insurance policies to ensure you access the full benefits available.

How Long Do I Have to File an Uber Accident Lawsuit in Georgia?

Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident.

If you miss the deadline, you could lose your right to recover any compensation. Some exceptions exist, but they are rare. That’s why it’s essential to act quickly and consult with an attorney.
