As a Passenger in an Uber Accident
In Victoria, passengers injured in an Uber are entitled to claim under the TAC.
Legal and Insurance Complications in Uber Accidents
Unlike traditional employers, Uber treats drivers as independent contractors, so drivers cannot access workers’ compensation.
However, passengers can claim against their CTP insurance when an Uber driver is at fault. They can also claim under the Transport Accident Commission if the accident occurred in Victoria.
If there is another at-fault driver involved, claims are made through that driver’s insurance. Fittipaldi Injury Lawyers will explain the differences and guide you through the claim if a Nominal Defendant scheme applies (for uninsured or unregistered vehicles).
Whatever the circumstance, Fittipaldi’s car accident attorneys are here to help explain your legal rights.
