The plaintiff says he’s an Uber driver and the defendant rear-ended him while he was working. Even though the defendant’s insurance covered the repairs, the plaintiff says he lost $1,000 in fares while his car was in the shop, so he’s suing for lost wages. The defendant says the car was drivable and doesn’t believe it was in the shop for four days.
Case #27375

The insurance company did not cover his wages because he likely refused to provide accurate proof of what he typically makes just like he did in court. They are not going to pay out on things people don’t provide proof of. Insurance companies do have network shops but you can decline those and use the one you want anytime. It’s up to the vehicle owner. As far a Uber and Lyft, you have to have insurance that covers you using your car for work /delivery however most rental companies will not allow their vehicles to be used for ride share types of use.

@DonziGT230 Жыл бұрын

He makes more than $65 some days, and 0 on other days. The insurance company and Millian computed his average daily earnings and it came out to $65/day so that's what he got. He wanted to convince her that since he makes $250-300/day once in a while that he deserves that much for every day that his car was in the shop. That's not how it works.

Four days sounds like minimal damage to car. Replace a bumper panel that’s already painted and a taillight. The plaintiff didn’t complain of injury, didn’t even have a picture of damage or cost of repair which says a lot and probably why it wasn’t in shop for a longer time.

$250 a day is a reach, however, depending on the area, it's very possible. $65 a day was really low, even in less demanding areas. I think $100/day would have been fair. What killed him was the sporadic working days, which many uber drivers tend to work. Many like to bang out 2-3 12 hour days and relax the remainder of the week.(again depending on the demand in their specific driving zone) Also, many drivers use multiple apps and bounce back and forth depending on where the money is.

@destinymiller6122 Жыл бұрын

@ButtonsCasey Жыл бұрын

The average pay for an Uber ride is 3-4 dollars per ride. You can drive for 12 hours. A ride usually takes on average 20 minutes, sometimes longer, maybe shorter. If hypothetically someone did it for 12 hours, at 3 rides an hour, it's possible to make 250 a day.

@ButtonsCasey Жыл бұрын

And that's with the pay per ride being 3-4 bucks. They do have higher paid rides that can be over 100, those are out of town rides. They also have surges where they add on some extra money, oh and tips. My husband does Uber when hes not at his regular job. The most hes made in a few hours (he never does 12 hours) is a little over 100.

@kimberlyadorno280 Жыл бұрын

@Destiny Miller the prices riders pay as opposed to what the drivers receive are very different. However, it's still very possible if they're working in a high demand area, especially during peak times.

@kimberlyadorno280 Жыл бұрын

@LaLaLA LaLaLA yes. Uber drivers can make decent money depending on their area and what time they're driving. Where I'm from, if a rider is paying $11, the driver receives about $5 base plus whatever the tip is. I know someone personally who works three 12hr shifts (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) and was able to replace her 9-5. It depends on many factors, but $250 was definitely possible.
