Uber Contingency Fee Cap might sound like a win for everyday consumers—but don’t be fooled. Behind the polished PR language is a dangerous precedent that could hurt the very people who rely on contingency-based legal representation the most: injured victims.
Uber is lobbying to limit the amount a personal injury attorney can collect from a client’s settlement after an Uber-related accident. The proposed cap—reportedly around 20%—is positioned as a consumer protection measure. Uber claims it would prevent lawyers from taking advantage of clients and ensure more money ends up in the pockets of injury victims.
Contingency fees allow injured people—many of whom cannot afford to pay an attorney up front—to access justice. Attorneys take on these cases with no guarantee of being paid unless they win. These cases are often high-risk, time-consuming, and complex—especially when you’re going up against a tech giant like Uber.
By capping fees, Uber isn’t making legal services more affordable—it’s making high-quality legal representation harder to access.
This isn’t about protecting riders. It’s about protecting Uber’s bottom line. The fewer claims that make it to court—or are aggressively negotiated—the less Uber has to pay out. This isn’t just speculation. It’s strategy. Corporations often try to limit lawsuits by reducing legal access to the public.
You deserve a fair shot at justice when you’re injured because of someone else’s negligence. That includes being able to hire a skilled, motivated attorney who will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. A contingency fee cap strips away your options—especially when the other side has unlimited resources.
