Accidents involving rideshare vehicles can be complicated. Whether Uber’s insurance covers your claim depends on the nature of the accident. If your car was involved in a collision with an Uber driver, but they weren’t logged into the Uber rideshare app, you likely will only be dealing with the driver’s insurance coverage.
If you were a passenger in their vehicle, or the rideshare driver was picking up a passenger or actively transporting someone, then Uber will likely be one of the liable parties in your accident claim. Our lawyers will investigate the accident and pinpoint which parties we should take action against, and how negligence played a role in your crash.
Proving negligence is the key to successfully recovering compensation after your rideshare accident. Your Uber accident lawyer will do so through gathering evidence like:
Uber may try to delay the insurance claims process and timely evidence can be lost. It’s essential that you reach out to our lawyers as soon as you can so they can get started on the investigation.
There are a few laws to consider that may affect your accident case. These include:
Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), you generally only have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania. Failing to do so may bar you from recovering compensation.
In Pennsylvania, injury victims can recover compensation even when they are partially at fault for their injuries per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 7102. However, you cannot be more than 50% responsible. Additionally, your compensation will be limited by your percentage of fault.
Our Philadelphia Uber accident attorneys understand how state laws affect your case and will work to ensure that your amount of fault is not exaggerated, and your case meets all legal deadlines.
Uber accidents are stressful, and their aftermath of physical pain and medical bills can be a nightmare.
