While ridesharing services provide convenient transportation options, accidents due to the negligence of Uber drivers in McAllen, TX are a harsh reality. Hire the experienced McAllen Uber car accident lawyer at Tijerina Legal Group to get the compensation you need.
Uber provides insurance coverage for its drivers and passengers in McAllen, TX, but the coverage varies depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:
If the Uber driver’s app is turned off, their personal insurance policy is in effect. Uber’s insurance does not apply during this period.
Uber’s contingent liability coverage applies during this period. It provides coverage for third-party injuries and property damage, but coverage limits may be lower compared to when the driver is actively transporting a passenger.
Once an Uber driver accepts a ride request and is traveling to pick up a passenger or has already picked up a passenger, Uber’s commercial insurance policy is in effect. This policy covers liability for third-party injuries, property damage, and uninsured/underinsured motorists.

Yes, you may have the legal right to sue Uber depending on the circumstances. Tijerina Legal Group’s experienced Uber accident lawyers in McAllen will employ the following methods to establish Uber’s liability:
We will obtain and analyze the driver’s qualifications and background check records maintained by Uber. If Uber failed to conduct a thorough background check or allowed an unqualified or unsafe driver onto the platform, it may be held liable for negligence.
If the driver lacked proper training or failed to complete required training programs, we will seek evidence of training records to demonstrate Uber’s potential negligence in ensuring its drivers are adequately prepared for safe driving practices.
Accessing the driver’s history of traffic violations, accidents, or dangerous driving incidents is vital. If the driver had a record of unsafe behavior and Uber still permitted them to operate on the platform, it strengthens the case against Uber for negligence.
