Common Causes of Uber Accidents in Redmond
Many Uber accidents in Redmond happen for the same reasons as other motor vehicle crashes, including:
- Distracted driving (e.g., checking the Uber app)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Fatigue, especially during long shifts
- Failure to yield or follow traffic laws
- Poor weather or road conditions
- Impaired driving
No matter the cause, our attorneys will dig deep to establish fault and build a strong case for financial recovery.
Who Can a Redmond Uber Accident Lawyer Hold Liable?
Liability in Uber accident cases depends heavily on the status of the rideshare driver at the time of the accident, such as:
- App off: If the Uber app was off, the driver’s personal auto insurance is responsible.
- App on, no passenger: Uber provides limited liability coverage.
- On a trip or with a passenger: Uber offers up to $1 million in liability coverage.
This layered system can be confusing. That’s why hiring an experienced Redmond Uber accident lawyer is critical. At Lerner and Rowe, we help you navigate these complexities to hold the right party accountable.

- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In Washington, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically three years from the date of the accident. It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Uber drivers are considered independent contractors, not employees. In most cases, you’ll file a claim through Uber’s insurance policy, not against Uber directly, though exceptions may apply in cases of gross negligence or app-related failures.
If the Uber driver was at fault, you may be covered under Uber’s liability insurance depending on their status at the time. Our team can investigate and determine which insurance policy applies.
