Pretty much. It's not if the driver's insurance denies him, because they will. But let's say Uber finds a loophole and nothing's covered. Let's now say that you've sustained an injury that requires months of physio, or you to be off work, or both, or you can't go back to working at your same job due to your injury. There's no-one to cover your lost wages or medical costs. You can sue the driver, but that's usually akin to getting blood from a stone, and if you get anything, it'll be much too late.
