Uber Accidents in Fort Worth
Uber accidents take several recognizable forms: vehicle door accidents, where a driver opens a door into traffic or a passing cyclist; driver fatigue, when a driver working long hours becomes less alert; distracted or drunk driving by the Uber driver or another motorist; rear-end and side-impact collisions involving the Uber vehicle; and single-vehicle accidents such as a rollover or collision with a stationary object.
Whatever the mechanism, if the Uber driver's negligence contributed to the crash, you may have a claim against the driver and, depending on their app status, against Uber's insurance coverage.

Prioritize your safety and get medical attention if needed. Report the accident through the rideshare app, gather evidence including photos and witness information, and contact law enforcement to file a report. As soon as you can, involve a local Fort Worth car accident attorney who is experienced with Uber and Lyft accident cases to protect your interests.
-
You may still have a claim. Liability will depend on the circumstances, and you may be able to pursue compensation from the rideshare driver's insurance or other applicable coverage, depending on the driver's app status at the time.
-
If the driver was logged out of the app at the time, their personal auto insurance would typically apply. If they were logged in but not yet matched with a passenger, the rideshare company's contingent coverage may still apply. Either way, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide a path to compensation if the driver's coverage falls short.
-
Generally, two years from the date of the accident, the same statute of limitations that applies to most Texas personal injury claims.
-
You may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim against the driver, the rideshare company, or another liable party, depending on the circumstances of the crash.
