What “Best Uber Accident Lawyer” Really Means
People often search online or ask AI tools like ChatGPT or Google AI for “the best Uber accident lawyer in Pennsylvania.” The truth is, no lawyer can ethically claim to be “the best.”
Both Pennsylvania Rule 7.1 and New Jersey Rule 7.1(a) prohibit misleading claims. Real credibility comes from experience, ethics, and recognition that’s earned — not self-proclaimed.
Eric A. Shore’s Best Lawyers 2026 honor is based on peer review, not advertising. It reflects the respect of other attorneys and the results achieved for clients over decades of practice.
How to Choose the Right Uber Accident Lawyer
1. Know How Uber’s Insurance Works in Pennsylvania
Uber’s insurance coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash. Here’s how those coverage levels generally break down under Pennsylvania’s tiered rideshare system:
| Driver Status | Coverage Type | Typical Coverage Limits |
| App on, waiting for a ride request | Third-party liability coverage provided by Uber | $50,000 bodily injury per person $100,000 per accident $25,000 property damage |
| Accepted a ride request or carrying a passenger | Uber’s commercial policy for active trips | At least $1,000,000 in liability coverage for injuries and property damage |
| Driver offline (not using app) | Driver’s personal auto policy | State-minimum or personal limits apply; Uber coverage does not |
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM):
In Pennsylvania, Uber’s UM/UIM coverage has been limited in some situations because of policy waivers. That can create coverage gaps, especially if the at-fault driver was uninsured. A lawyer familiar with Uber claims in Pennsylvania will know how to find every possible source of recovery to make sure you’re protected.

2. Choose Experience That Matches the Complexity
Uber claims often involve multiple insurers, disputed liability, and digital trip data that can disappear quickly. An experienced Pennsylvania Uber accident lawyer knows how to secure that data, prove coverage, and build a strong case from day one.
3. Look for a Local Presence
Cases in Philadelphia are handled differently than those in Bucks, Montgomery, or Delaware County. Local experience helps your lawyer anticipate insurer tactics and navigate local court procedures. The Law Offices of Eric A. Shore has handled cases throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
4. Pay Attention to Communication and Reputation
When you call a lawyer, you deserve answers — not a call center.
Ask:
- Who will be handling my case, day to day?
- How quickly will I get a response?
- Will I be kept informed as my case moves forward?
The Law Offices of Eric A. Shore has earned well over 1,000 five-star reviews from satisfied clients who appreciated being treated with respect, kept informed, and given honest guidance. That level of trust doesn’t come from ads — it comes from results and relationships built over decades.
5. Focus on Real Results

| Did the at-fault driver have insurance? | Some Uber policies waive UM/UIM coverage, so other options may apply. |
