All motor vehicle operators on the road at a given time owe a duty of care to other motor vehicle drivers and pedestrians. Specifically, these drivers owe a duty of reasonable care to operate their vehicles in a safe, careful, and prudent manner at all times, to obey the applicable Georgia Rules of the Road, and to refrain from distractions (such as cell phones, tablets, and other electronic devices) while driving. When an Uber driver breaks the law or engages in distracted driving, and that behavior causes the Uber vehicle to collide with another motor vehicle, several insurance policies might come into play to provide the necessary coverage for the accident.
In some instances, the driver’s own policy of motor vehicle insurance coverage may be primary. Depending upon the time when the accident occurs, the Uber corporate policy may be secondary. The experienced Lawrenceville Uber accident attorneys at Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC will help you pursue all available avenues of recovery when you pursue damages in your Uber accident case.
