Ridesharing is on the rise \u2013 all the convenience with none of the responsibility!\u00a0 But accidents happen, and when they do, do you really have NO responsibility if you\u2019re the passenger in an Uber vehicle?\u00a0 The answer is YES*.\u00a0 Because the passenger is not in control of the vehicle, any accident that Uber may experience is not the passenger\u2019s fault.\u00a0 [Whether the accident is the fault of the Uber driver or another party, any expenses that exceed the compensatory amount would be the responsibility of the at-fault driver.]\u00a0 While this gives great peace of mind to Uber consumers, the consequences of accidents during these rides can be anything other than peaceful, and the results of them can have devastating lasting effects.<\/p>\n
Just as with any accident, the first and most important thing to do is seek medical attention.\u00a0 Often, injuries sustained in an automobile accident present hours, days, or even weeks following the accident itself.\u00a0 By then, the damage could well have been diminished or completely alleviated if it had only been immediately addressed.\u00a0 Additionally, injuries resulting from a traffic accident can seriously impede your ability to function in your daily tasks \u2013 work, home life, school, and recreation.\u00a0 Receiving medical assistance will ensure your best medical outcome.<\/p>\n
If there were eyewitnesses, other drivers, or passengers who observed the collision, their testimonies could be invaluable in proving your case.\u00a0 If you are able, take photographs of the scene of the accident; ask those nearby to do so if you are unable.\u00a0 Photos of the area from the time and place of the event, evidence of the conditions at the time of impact such as traffic congestion, time of day, already-existing accidents in the immediate area \u2013 any information you can collect can be helpful in contributing to the successful outcome of your Uber accident lawsuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n Your next phone call should be to Daniella Levi and Associates, P.C.\u00a0 Automobile accidents, including those involving an Uber, are often the result of negligence on the part of either another motorist or your Uber driver.\u00a0 Regardless of the at-fault party, the outcome is clear:\u00a0 the negligent party did not drive safely and responsibly.\u00a0 It is for this reason that you may be entitled to seek compensation for damages.\u00a0 Our dedicated team of legal professionals will communicate with your medical staff, the insurance companies, Uber, and any other parties involved to resolve your case in a timely and uncomplicated manner, garnering you the compensation you deserve.\u00a0 We take into consideration the long-term ramifications of auto injuries and their effects on your work life, home life, and earning ability, and we fight on your behalf to recover damages which could include:<\/p>\n Dealing with car insurance companies can be confusing and overwhelming.\u00a0 Rideshare companies have complex and intricate insurance coverages designed to address every aspect of accident liability coverage.\u00a0 This coverage requirement is $1 million for eligible pedestrians, passengers, motorists, motorcycle riders, and bicyclists.\u00a0 The stipulation to this – for passengers – is that they must first submit a claim to their own personal injury protection insurance.\u00a0 These personal insurance policies typically cover medical expense reimbursement at 80%, up to $10,000.00, barring any restrictions.\u00a0 The remaining 20% does not take into account extended medical expenses, pain & suffering, or employment losses (like lost wages), and would then be submitted to the insurance company of the at-fault driver or Uber.\u00a0 Passengers may be entitled to award damages, should they exceed the coverage of these policies.<\/p>\n Navigating the muddy waters of all of these policies through to complete clarity is what we do best.\u00a0 While the sole pursuit of insurance companies is quick, low-cost settlement, seldom are these settlements in the best interest of those injured.\u00a0 At Daniella Levi and Associates, P.C., we\u2019re available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.\u00a0 If you are unable to come to us, we\u2019ll come to you, whether at home or the hospital \u2013 whatever is convenient for you.<\/p>\n If you or a family member have been an injured passenger in an Uber automobile accident<\/a> and are looking for fair, honest, and aggressive representation, Daniella Levi and her team will ensure that you are painstakingly represented.\u00a0 We will make certain that you receive the full compensation you deserve.\u00a0 You pay nothing upfront, and before we take your case we will provide a free, thorough, no-obligation consultation.\u00a0 Our fee is only collected after you and your family have been awarded the compensation you deserve.\u00a0 If you are an injured passenger following an Uber accident, Daniella Levi and Associates, P.C. can help you.\u00a0 Call us today.<\/p>\n *Currently there is no legal precedent set for accident lawsuits caused by interference or disruption due to unruly, intoxicated, or otherwise impaired passengers.<\/p>\n After a serious accident, many people are in desperate need of the financial support that comes from a successful result of their personal injury claim.
