Uber Accident Attorney

Uber Accident Attorney Los Angeles, CA

Uber is a great alternative to public transportation to a traditional taxi, but on the highways around LA, there’s just as much risk of getting into a wreck as other drivers—sometimes more, as Uber drivers may have more distractions than other drivers, like rowdy passengers, their GPS, or checking their app for fares. If you were in an accident involving an Uber vehicle, as a passenger or the other driver, you have the right to compensation for your injuries. In fact, Uber extends a $1 million policy for drivers who are transporting fares. But, Uber isn’t going to hand over a million-dollar settlement without a strong case. Our Los Angeles, CA Uber accident lawyer familiar with litigating rideshare accident claims can help you get the highest possible settlement from the rideshare driver and Uber.

We’ve been closely following changes in federal and California laws governing rideshare operations and liability, and we put this experience and knowledge to work for you. Call us today for a free consultation.

Take the Guesswork Out Of Your Claim

Your settlement and the maximum policy amount available to you in an Uber collision depends on what the Uber driver was doing at the time of the collision. If they aren’t logged into the app or transporting a fare, they’re covered by their own auto policy, and your attorney will treat the claim just like one between two private drivers.

If the Uber driver is logged into the Uber app and transporting a fare, they’re covered by Uber’s $1 million liability policy. That’s the maximum coverage; if your injuries are moderate and there is no lasting disability, the insurance company isn’t likely to extend a seven-figure settlement. If the Uber driver is logged into the app but isn’t carrying a passenger, Uber still extends liability coverage, but it’s less than $1 million.

Simply sorting through issues of liability and insurance coverage can be overwhelming, especially if you haven’t dealt with an auto accident claim before. As your legal advocate, our role is to ascertain liability and build a strong case to secure as high of a settlement as possible.
