    Understanding Who Pays \u2014 and Who to Call \u2014 After an Atlanta Uber Crash<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    An Uber accident in Atlanta puts you in one of the most complicated insurance situations in personal injury law. The coverage that applies \u2014 and the party responsible for paying \u2014 depends entirely on what the Uber driver was doing at the exact moment of impact. Was the app off? On but waiting? Mid-trip?<\/p>

    Georgia’s Transportation Network Company law, codified at O.C.G.A. \u00a7 40-1-190 through \u00a7 40-1-200<\/strong>, creates a tiered coverage framework that changes in real time based on the driver’s status. Lonnie Law LLC, an Atlanta personal injury law firm<\/a> licensed by the State Bar of Georgia, helps injured people understand how that framework applies to their situation and what options Georgia law may provide.<\/p>

    If you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or a cyclist \u2014 and an Uber driver was involved in your crash \u2014 the information below explains the coverage landscape. For questions specific to your situation, contact us at (404) 424-3878 for a free initial consultation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Who Pays After an Uber Accident in Atlanta?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The answer depends on a three-period coverage model that Georgia law requires Uber to maintain under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 40-1-190 et seq.<\/strong> \u2014 the state’s Transportation Network Company (TNC) regulatory framework. Here is how it works:<\/p>
    Period<\/th>Driver Status<\/th>Coverage in Effect<\/th>Who Pays<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    Period 0<\/strong><\/td>App is offline<\/td>Driver’s personal auto policy only<\/td>Driver’s personal insurer<\/td><\/tr>
    Period 1<\/strong><\/td>App on, waiting for a ride request<\/td>Uber’s contingent liability: $50,000 per person \/ $100,000 per accident \/ $25,000 property damage<\/td>Uber’s commercial policy (Allstate, as of 2022) if driver’s personal policy denies<\/td><\/tr>
    Period 2<\/strong><\/td>Ride accepted \u2014 en route to pickup<\/td>Uber’s $1,000,000 third-party liability + $1,000,000 UM\/UIM coverage<\/td>Uber’s commercial policy (Allstate)<\/td><\/tr>
    Period 3<\/strong><\/td>Passenger in the vehicle<\/td>Uber’s $1,000,000 third-party liability + $1,000,000 UM\/UIM coverage<\/td>Uber’s commercial policy (Allstate)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

    Georgia law requires minimum $1,000,000 in liability coverage during prearranged trips (Periods 2 and 3). Period 1 is the most disputed phase \u2014 insurers frequently contest whether the driver’s personal policy or Uber’s contingent coverage applies.
