If you’ve been hurt while riding in, driving for, or struck by an Uber or other rideshare vehicle in Houston or nearby communities like Cypress, Pasadena, or Spring, you may be wondering what your rights are under Texas law. Rideshare accidents can be confusing, especially when multiple insurance policies are involved. At Gustin Law Firm PLLC, we help people like you get clarity, answers, and results.

Who's Responsible After an Uber Crash in Texas?

Texas law treats Uber accidents differently depending on what phase the driver was in at the time of the crash:

• Driver Not Logged In: This is treated like any normal car accident, and the driver’s personal insurance applies.
• Driver Logged In, Waiting for a Ride: Uber’s contingent liability coverage may apply.
• Driver En Route or With Passenger: Uber carries up to $1 million in liability coverage during this period.

We assess these factors quickly and thoroughly so you’re not left guessing who should be held accountable.

What Should You Do After an Uber Accident?

If you’ve been involved in an Uber accident in the Houston area, we recommend you:

1. Call 911 and get medical attention.
2. Gather as much information as possible, including names, contact info, and screenshots of your Uber trip.
3. Avoid giving a recorded statement to insurance companies before you talk to us.

Even if you’re unsure whether you have a case, a short conversation can help clear that up.
