I figured as much. I assume it would likely be difficult with the Taxi companies as well, but at least I know they have coverage and there's something there for my lawyers to go after.

So I'm curious, those who are so adamant about Uber and excited to use it, why are you OK with accepting the risk involved as a passenger? Just to be able to stick it to the "Taxi Cartel"?
