The Benefits of Having an Attorney Throughout the Uber Accident Claims Process

Throughout the process of pursuing compensation in Uber accident claims, experienced attorneys bring value by facilitating a smoother path forward. At every stage, we handle all aspects of the legal process so that you can focus all your attention on getting better.

The Immediate Aftermath of the Accident

Immediately after an accident, you must get to safety and call for emergency help. As you’re waiting for first responders to arrive, document the accident as thoroughly as possible. One of the most important things that someone can do after an Uber accident is take photographs of the accident scene and the damage to the cars. You should also gather the contact information of any witnesses. From the first moments after an accident, you need to start thinking about what kind of evidence you might need to successfully pursue a lawsuit against Uber.

Injured customers can report the crash to Uber using the rideshare app, but be careful how much information you provide. Uber isn’t gathering data to help you, but to help the corporation fight any future claim you pursue. It’s best to stick to the basic facts of when and where the accident occurred and avoid discussing fault or injuries at this time.

Steps After Leaving the Scene

Once you leave the accident scene, you should seek a thorough medical evaluation at a hospital, urgent care facility, or doctor’s office. You need to notify relevant insurers (including your own auto insurance carrier, if you have one) of the accident, but you also need to use caution. Insurance companies benefit from reducing your compensation, and they may use your own words against you.

Promptly retaining an attorney is one of the most important steps to take at this time. It isn’t too early to consult a lawyer—it’s exactly the right point in the process to bring on professional legal counsel for maximum benefit. There’s evidence that needs to be collected and communications that need to be properly managed to prevent Uber from taking advantage of you. Our attorneys begin building the strong foundation your claim needs from the very beginning.

Investigation and Claims Filing

By devoting our full resources and attention to your case, our team conducts in-depth investigations to gather the full evidence required to pursue claims against Uber and all relevant defendants. We develop your claim, prepare paperwork, and manage all necessary documentation.

Settlement Negotiations

Many personal injury cases settle through negotiations. Negotiating a settlement can save time, court costs, and hassle, but only if the amount of compensation you’re offered fairly addresses the full extent of your losses. When possible, our attorneys for Uber accident claims skillfully negotiate fair settlements. We use our extensive medical knowledge to demonstrate the full extent of our clients’ injuries. Our firm handles everything from documenting your economic and non-economic damages to determining a fair value that not only compensates you for the losses you have already sustained but also addresses future impacts of your injuries.

Litigation

As experienced litigators and trial attorneys, our team doesn’t shy away from suing Uber and standing up to the multi-billion-dollar corporation in court. We determine when it’s advantageous to initiate a lawsuit by filing a complaint, the legal document that commences litigation.

Throughout the litigation process, we handle every deadline, document, procedural requirement, and proceeding. We understand the unique challenges involved in Uber litigation, having successfully litigated claims against the corporation before, and we’re prepared to present your case in formal settlement conferences and arbitration proceedings.
