Can You Sue Uber for an Accident? - Keetick L. Sanchez

From K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. – Can You Sue Uber for an Accident? explores the complex world of rideshare liability, insurance coverage, and how legal frameworks can support those impacted by an accident involving the rideshare giant Uber. In this podcast, we’ll dive into the ins and outs of TNC insurance obligations in New York, how the Vehicle & Traffic Law (VTL) Article 44‑B sets out liability standards, and what every rider, driver or other motorist should know when the unexpected happens.

In our second segment we break down who can be held responsible in a rideshare accident. Is it the Uber driver? Another motorist? The ride-hailing company itself? What happens if the driver is offline, logged into the app but waiting, or actively transporting a passenger — the insurance coverage changes in each phase. We’ll also look at the roles of third parties such as vehicle manufacturers, construction companies, or road maintenance entities in contributing to liability.

Next, we’ll unpack the specifics of Uber’s coverage: from third-party liability limits, uninsured/underinsured motorist protection, to the big $1 million liability policy for rides during a trip. What does personal insurance cover when the driver is offline? When logged in but not on a trip? What rights do passengers, pedestrians and other drivers have under New York law? You’ll hear real-world scenarios and actionable insight into how these legal protections apply in rideshare accidents in Queens, Jackson Heights and beyond.

Finally, we’ll guide you through the process of deciding whether to pursue a claim, and how the team at K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. supports individuals in Queens, New York—helping them untangle insurance issues, establish liability, and access compensation. Whether you’re a passenger injured in an Uber accident, a pedestrian struck near a rideshare vehicle, or a driver dealing with the aftermath of a crash, this podcast will help you understand your rights and the legal landscape governing rideshare accidents in the modern era.
