        "text": "If the Uber driver was at fault, your ability to recover compensation depends on the driver's status at the time of the accident. If the driver was actively engaged in an Uber ride (en route to pick up a passenger or transporting one), Uber's robust commercial insurance policy, typically up to $1 million, may apply. If the driver was offline or waiting for a ride request, their personal auto insurance would likely be primary. An attorney can help determine the correct insurance policy to pursue your claim against.",
