Uber Accident Cases We Handle

An Uber crash can leave a passenger hurt in the back seat, a driver struck by an Uber vehicle making an unsafe turn, or a pedestrian hit during a rushed pickup. Each situation raises different questions about who is responsible and which insurance applies, and the answer often turns on what the Uber driver was doing in the app when the crash happened. As part of our car accident practice, Hulburt Law Firm handles serious injury and wrongful death cases involving Uber and Uber Eats collisions throughout San Diego County, including those listed here.

Meet Your Uber Accident Attorneys

Conor and Leslie Hulburt founded Hulburt Law Firm to give serious injury and wrongful death cases the attention, preparation, and experience they deserve. The firm is intentionally selective, accepting a limited number of cases so clients work directly with the attorneys handling their case.

Conor Hulburt has spent his career representing people in serious crash cases and has recovered more than $150 million for injured clients, including a $28.16 million jury verdict. His vehicle collision results include a $5.25 million settlement for a client who suffered brain and spinal injuries in an Interstate 5 freeway collision and a $3.5 million recovery for the family of a student killed by a speeding campus security vehicle. Conor holds a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent peer rating, and Best Lawyers named him the 2027 San Diego Lawyer of the Year for plaintiffs’ product liability litigation.

Leslie Hulburt brings extensive litigation and trial experience to the firm. She has represented clients through discovery, mediation, trial, and appeal, and plays a central role in developing the facts, legal strategy, and presentation of complex cases. Conor and Leslie were both recognized by Super Lawyers in 2026.

In an Uber case, that experience means testing the insurer’s account of the trip against the evidence, identifying every policy that may apply, and documenting the full consequences of the injuries before any settlement is evaluated. Questions about competing coverage, future treatment, or an early offer go directly to the lawyer responsible for your case.

How an Uber Accident Case Works

01

Free Case Review

We start with what happened, the treatment you have received, and the questions you need answered. You do not need to identify the correct insurer before contacting us. If available, a ride receipt, crash report number, or photographs can help us begin evaluating the claim.

02

Preserving Trip Records

We seek preservation of relevant trip information, app activity, location data, and communications. We also look for witnesses, dashcam recordings, nearby surveillance, and vehicle evidence. A preservation request helps protect records from routine deletion; obtaining them may require cooperation from the holder or formal legal proceedings.

03

Investigating Fault

We compare the trip timeline with the evidence of the crash, identify potentially responsible parties, and obtain the relevant insurance information. When insurers disagree about which policy applies, the underlying records can be critical. We also assess whether other conduct, a vehicle defect, or a dangerous road contributed.

04

Documenting the Full Injury

Medical bills tell only part of the story. We examine the recovery ahead, the work you can no longer do, and the help you need at home. When appropriate, medical, vocational, and financial experts help explain future care and the effect on your ability to earn a living.

05

Evaluating Settlement

We present the evidence supporting the claim and negotiate with the insurers involved. Before you decide whether to settle, we explain the proposed payment, the rights you would release, and any unresolved questions about future losses. You make the settlement decision with a clear understanding of the terms.

06

Litigation and Trial

If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we prepare to pursue the claim through the appropriate legal process. That may involve a lawsuit, discovery, expert testimony, mediation, and trial. If an arbitration agreement may apply to a claim against Uber, we evaluate it before deciding how to proceed.

California Law and Insurance After an Uber Accident

An Uber accident raises two related questions: who is legally responsible, and what insurance is available to cover that responsibility. The answer depends on the crash evidence, the trip status, and the policies in effect on the date of the collision.
