Compensation from The Black Car Fund

Hurt while driving for Uber or Lyft? Get Compensated from The Black Car Fund

If you were hurt in a car accident while driving for Uber, Lyft, or another black car service, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. This applies even if the crash was your fault.
Workers’ compensation can help cover:
  • Doctor and hospital visits
  • Medical bills and treatment
  • Lost income if you cannot work
  • Payments for lasting or permanent injuries
Not all injuries come from crashes. You may still qualify if you were hurt while on the job (your app is on), including:
  • Slip, trip, or fall injuries while getting in or out of your vehicle
  • Falls while walking to or from passengers or between trips
  • Back, neck, or muscle injuries from lifting bags or luggage
  • Repetitive strain from long hours of driving (neck, back, shoulder, or wrist pain)
  • Whiplash or soft-tissue injuries from sudden stops or sharp turns
  • Injuries while helping passengers in or out of the car
  • Slip and fall injuries inside the vehicle
  • Injuries during work-related car care, like fueling or changing a tire
  • Animal bites while picking up or dropping off passengers
  • Injuries from assault or robbery while working
You drive to support your family. We help protect that drive.
