        "text": "As an Uber passenger, you generally cannot sue Uber directly as if they were a traditional taxi company. Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors, which often limits their direct liability. Instead, claims are typically made against the at-fault driver's insurance and Uber's commercial insurance policy, which provides coverage for accidents during rides. An attorney can help you navigate these complex insurance claims to ensure you pursue compensation from the appropriate parties, which may include the driver, their personal insurance, and Uber's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or third-party liability policy.",
