Uber Rider and Driver Safety Tips

Involved in an Uber accident in Miami? Whether you were a passenger, driver, pedestrian, or third party, your next move matters—and The Perazzo Law Firm is here to make sure it’s the right one. With a team of experienced personal injury attorneys, we’ve helped countless Uber accident victims throughout Miami-Dade recover the compensation they deserve—without paying a cent out of pocket.

Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

  • You were riding in an Uber when the driver got into an accident
  • You were hit by an Uber while driving, walking, or biking
  • You’re an Uber driver who was struck while your app was on
  • You want to know how much Uber’s insurance will actually pay for your injuries or damage
  • You’re unsure whether your accident qualifies for compensation

If you nodded “yes” to any of these, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. Our Miami Uber Accident Lawyers are ready to help you understand your rights and pursue a claim.

What Makes Uber Accidents Unique?

Unlike traditional car accidents, Uber accidents come with a whole layer of insurance complexities. Here’s why:

  • Uber has a $1 million liability policy for accidents that happen during a trip or when a passenger is in the car.
  • If the Uber driver had their app on but wasn’t yet on a ride, $50,000 in bodily injury coverage per person may apply.
  • If the app was off, the driver’s personal insurance is responsible.

Understanding where you fall in this structure is crucial—and that’s exactly where our lawyers step in.

What Should You Do After an Uber Crash?

We know accidents happen fast and can leave you in a daze. If you’re ever involved in an Uber accident—no matter your role—here’s what you should do:

  1. Call 911 immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
  2. Tell the officer about any pain or impact to your body—even small hits can lead to serious conditions.
  3. Take photos and video of the scene, vehicles, and your injuries.
  4. Ask witnesses for contact info—this can strengthen your case.
  5. Seek medical care ASAP, and make sure your injuries are properly documented.
  6. Do not sign anything or make official statements without legal counsel.
  7. Call your insurance company—but speak to an attorney first.
  8. Contact The Perazzo Law Firm to evaluate your case and help with your insurance claim.

Uber Riders: Stay Safe Before, During, and After a Ride

In Miami, Uber is convenient—but that doesn’t mean it’s risk-free. Always:

  • Confirm the Uber driver’s identity before getting in
  • Share your trip status with a friend or family member via the app
  • End the ride through the app as soon as you exit
  • Avoid paying with cash—stick to the app for safety and recordkeeping

These simple habits could help protect you from scams, accidents, or worse.
