You’ve probably heard about UberEats by now. It’s a food delivery service that allows you to get a huge variety of food delivered to your doorstep. Much like the Uber rideshare service, it has taken the world by storm and is providing thousands of people jobs across New York. But what happens if you have an accident with an UberEats driver? Will Uber insurance cover your car?

If you have these concerns, you’re in luck. Our attorneys assure you that the same coverage that exists for Uber accidents applies for any accidents involving UberEats.

Uber Insurance

• Insurance with Passengers or after acceptance of Ride: Uber and provides $1,000,000 of liability insurance for each accident and $1,000,000 of uninsured driver insurance for each accident available to the driver and passengers
• Insurance when App is on but before or after Acceptance of Ride Request: Uber provides $50,000 for each person and $100,000 for each accident in addition to $25,000 of property damage coverage to other cars
• Comprehensive/Collision Insurance: Uber offers $50,000 for this but only when customers are in the car
• Collision/Comprehensive Deductibles: Uber asks for a $1,000 deductible in most cases.

UberEats Coverage

• If the UberEats driver accepts a food request or is making a delivery, the $1,000,000 coverage should apply
• If the UberEats driver is injured by an uninsured driver, the UberEats driver should be covered by $1,000,000 coverage
• If the UberEats driver is using the app but not currently delivering or accepting a request, the $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident policy should apply in addition to the $25,000 of property coverage

However, sometimes even if the person is working for UberEats and is covered by their insurance, they will lie about it because they don’t want to make UberEats aware of the accident so that they aren’t suspended from future work there or pay their deductible. The attorneys at The Law Office of Richard Kenny can help with this problem. Our attorneys can communicate directly with Uber and formally request their records to determine whether the involved driver was working during the time of the accident. Ultimately, the driver should understand that it is in their best interest to have the insurance coverage from UberEats.
