Uber Eats is now a name you’ve probably heard here in Southern California.
This platform was created by Uber to give their huge customer base another option to spend their money on.
The food delivery business has become a big industry as we see companies like Postmates, DoorDash, and others entering the space over the last few years.
Uber Eats basically allows the customer to order food from restaurants that might not offer delivery services themselves, and this way Uber drivers can deliver the food.
Obviously the increase in Uber Eats drivers has created a lot of jobs, but it also has created more and more car accidents and injury victims.
Many of the drivers that work for Uber Eats are in a hurry to deliver the food on time, and this can cause the Uber Eats drivers to drive unsafe.
If you were involved with a car accident with Uber Eats then contact us today.

I am an Uber Eats Driver and I Got into an Accident, What Should I Do?
If you work for Uber Eats (as a driver) and you were injured in a car accident you do have legal rights.
As an Uber Eats driver you can potentially sue the other driver if the accident wasn’t your fault, and in some cases you can file a claim against Uber Eats.
Uber Eats does have underinsured / uninsured motorist coverage that you can go after if the other driver has an insurance policy that is lacking in coverage to cover your damages.
Of course as a driver for Uber Eats you have coverage, but it gets very complicated – were you driving at the time, had you already picked up the food, etc.

What Accident Insurance Policy Does Uber Eats Have
Uber Eats has an insurance policy that is very similar to Uber.
Depending on what the Uber Eats driver is doing, the insurance policy can change.
If the app is on, but the driver is not actually delivering any food, then he/she is covered up to $50k/$100k/$25k (accident per individual, per accident, and property damage).
If the Uber Eats driver is actually on a job and in the process of delivering the food, then the coverage will increase to the $1 Million policy which can also extend to any third parties involved in the crash.
If you are confused after the accident and you want real answers, contact an Uber Eats injury lawyer.
What Causes Uber Eats Car Accidents
Uber Eats drivers are typically in a hurry to make as many deliveries as possible in the shortest amount of time.
Obviously the more food an Uber Eats driver can deliver then the more tips they can make!
The problem with this is that Uber Eats drivers might drive recklessly or very aggressive as they cruise all over town dropping off food.
Here is a list of common reasons for accidents involving Uber Eats drivers:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving (texting, looking at map, etc.)
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Tailgating
- Road Rage
- Driver fatigue (working too many hours)
All of these reasons can cause an accident (or at least partially cause the wreck), so if you have been injured in a recent Uber Eats accident then contact us today for help.
