What Should I Do If I’m Involved in an Uber Accident While Riding as a Passenger in an Uber Car?

  • Prioritize safety above all else. Ensure your driver moves the vehicle to a secure location away from traffic. Check for injuries promptly, but only if it's safe to do so and you feel well enough.
  • Contact emergency services immediately by dialing 911, especially if there are serious injuries. Even if injuries aren't apparent, seek medical attention promptly as shock can mask symptoms. Insist on filing a police report as it's crucial for any legal actions.
  • Collect evidence by gathering accurate information about your Uber driver, including their name, license number, and insurance details. Additionally, document the accident scene with photographs and note down the time and location.
  • Seek legal advice promptly. Consult with an Uber accident lawyer from PILF Law to understand your legal options and the necessary steps to take, especially if you've been injured in the accident.

What Compensation Can I Receive for an Uber Accident?

Accident victims have the right to compensatory damages for their injuries. In exceptional cases, they may also receive punitive damages if the defendant's actions were intentionally harmful or extremely reckless. Hiring an experienced Uber accident lawyer at PILF Law ensures you receive the maximum compensation.

Compensation in a personal injury lawsuit can be divided into two categories:

  1. Economic Damages: Intended to cover out-of-pocket expenses related to injuries, such as medical bills, property damage, lost income, and loss of earning capacity.

  2. Non-economic Damages: These compensate for subjective losses, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability-related losses, permanent disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Unlike some states, California has no cap on compensation amounts in personal injury cases. The jury decides a reasonable amount based on evidence and estimated losses. However, California follows comparative fault rules. If you're found partially responsible for the accident, your compensation may be reduced proportionately. Nonetheless, shared blame doesn't prevent you from filing a personal injury claim.

What Kind of Injury Will I Need to Prove for Additional Compensation?

If you're injured in an accident involving an Uber vehicle, it's crucial to contact PILF Law's Uber accident attorneys immediately. Handling a rideshare accident alone can be daunting due to its complexity and evolving laws. With multiple parties involved, including insurance companies, effective communication becomes paramount. Moreover, Uber's interests may not align with yours.

Our attorneys are equipped to handle all communication with Uber and other parties efficiently. They have access to valuable information, like Uber's driver monitoring data, which tracks driving behavior such as speed, braking, and turns. While Uber may be reluctant to share this data with accident victims, our Uber accident lawyers can compel them to do so.
