How an Uber Accident Attorney Can Help

If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident with an Uber driver, you can seek compensation for your injuries. It can be complicated to deal with insurance companies after an accident, and having an experienced Uber accident attorney on your side can help.

The insurance company will look at the circumstances of the accident and determine who is at fault. In most cases, the passengers of an Uber are not at fault in a collision. However, there are a few instances where a third party may be at fault.

As an example, Syed Muzzafar, a rideshare driver in San Francisco, was not carrying a passenger when he hit a six-year-old girl. She was walking across a crosswalk with her mother. This sparked a debate over liability for rideshare services.  

When an accident occurs, the injured party must first file a claim with their own personal injury protection policy. In addition, they must also file a claim with the other at-fault driver's insurance.

The insurance companies will likely try to settle for a lump sum before knowing the full extent of the damages. They will be less willing to negotiate a fair settlement if the injured party does not provide them with information on their own. An Uber accident attorney can assist the injured party in getting all the information they need to pursue compensation.

Regardless of whether an accident is caused by another Uber driver or a negligent third party, it is important to obtain the contact information of any witnesses. These witnesses can help to determine who is at fault in the crash and can be a key part of the case.
