What Should an Injured Passenger Do After an Uber Accident?

uber-accident

Ridesharing is a popular way to get to your destination quickly and affordably, unless you’re critically hurt due to the negligence of a driver in an Uber accident. Passengers in ridesharing vehicles do have rights, but you must be prepared to know how to proceed if you end up in an accident. Since these cases are handled differently than a traditional car crash, you need an experienced Uber accident lawyer by your side immediately.

In addition to the auto insurance coverage that many drivers carry for themselves, Uber has their own liability insurance at a much higher rate. This extra coverage may be necessary because the Uber driver’s personal carrier may deny claims if the driver was working for Uber at the time of the incident. This is due to the fact that most driver insurance policies are personal in nature and are not intended to be used for commercial use.

This means that when you’re hurt, you should get compensation for your injuries and associated expenses under the liability policies maintained by Uber. Uber insurance should also cover you if you’re injured in a crash with an uninsured or underinsured motorist. Uber, however, may try to deny your claim if you try to obtain insurance payments through their coverage. Which is why you must take action quickly if you think that you should be covered by Uber’s liability policy by retaining an experienced personal injury lawyer who will take your case seriously.

You have a right to fight for compensation after any accident or injury has left you with the cost of paying for medical bills, providing for your family during and after your recuperation, and for the pain and suffering it has caused. With a qualified attorney from CourtLaw at your side, your chances of collecting the compensation you deserve are much higher.
