Help Holding Uber and Its Agents Accountable for Accidents
Rideshare services are flourishing, with Uber, specifically, reporting record quarter after record quarter. Along with this business growth, Uber accidents and the injuries resulting from them have gained prominence across the country. When you have suffered harm in a collision that involves an Uber driver, our Uber accident attorneys can help you stand up to the powerful corporation and insurance companies and recover the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Uber Accidents
Uber accidents occur for many of the same reasons that collisions involving private motorists do, including speeding, tailgating, failing to obey traffic signs and signals, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, Uber drivers’ conduct behind the wheel can pose additional risks.
For Uber drivers, time is money, as earnings generally depend on the number of rides they provide during a shift. Rushing can give rise to reckless driving and behaviors such as running red lights, engaging in “rolling” stops, and making aggressive maneuvers.
Many Uber drivers work long hours to make extra money or use this opportunity as a side hustle, beginning their shift as Uber drivers already exhausted from working another job. Driver fatigue poses significant risks to everyone on the road, and given the nature of Uber driving work, many motorists operating Uber vehicles aren’t at their peak alertness.
Another factor that contributes to collisions involving Uber drivers is distracted driving. While distracted driving occurs among private motorists as well, for Uber drivers, the necessary use of the app while driving can add to distraction. Uber drivers who aren’t familiar with the routes they’re taking or the destinations they’re approaching can make mistakes behind the wheel due to this unfamiliarity—but looking at a GPS app to guide them can also be distracting.
Depending on the circumstances, there may be additional causes of action and additional defendants, such as the manufacturer of defective vehicle parts or entities responsible for improper road maintenance. More than one motorist could share fault for a crash involving an Uber driver, which makes claims even more complicated. By identifying all possible theories of liability and defendants involved in your case, your attorneys can ensure your claim addresses the situation from all angles.
It’s important that in an Uber or Lyft accident, in addition to the drivers being held accountable for what’s occurred, the corporate entities are also held responsible for the injuries they’ve caused to their customers.
The Impact of Uber Crashes
For all of the ways Uber accidents affect our clients, Drazin & Warshaw seek to hold Uber companies and their agents accountable. We fight to secure maximum compensation for our clients’ economic and non-economic losses, ensuring their claims cover all of the ways the injuries have influenced their lives.
Injuries
The injuries that result from an Uber-related crash range from temporary and comparably less serious to completely catastrophic.
Cuts, lacerations, whiplash, sprains, and strains—while less severe than many injuries that result in life-altering harm—can still be significant enough to bring about medical bills and keep you temporarily out of work. Soft tissue injuries like herniated discs can be significant enough to require surgery and have long-term consequences.
Among the more severe forms of damage are internal injuries and bone fractures that necessitate surgery. Head injuries may cause severe traumatic brain injury, impacting mobility, sensation, and cognitive function. Damage to the spinal cord can lead to permanent paralysis. Limb loss can result when the force of the impact spontaneously severs a limb or when a crushing injury or other forms of damage require amputations.
Effects on Your Life
How your injury impacts your life depends on the severity of the physical damage and the symptoms and consequences it causes. Uber accident injuries can lead to pain, physical impairments, emotional stress, and financial burdens. The more extensive and long-lasting your injuries, the greater their potential to affect your future.
At UberHurtMe.com, we’ve seen firsthand the devastating effects that injuries in Ubers can have on you and your family. We will be there every step of the way to make sure that you’re treated fairly and get maximum compensation for the injuries that you’ve sustained.
Your Right to Compensation After an Uber Accident
When you have been injured due to the negligence of another person or party, you have the right to pursue financial compensation. However, you need to establish liability and insurance coverage.
Generally, this means you need to identify any parties that owed you a duty of care and breached that duty, causing the accident and resulting damages. In Uber accidents in which the Uber driver is determined to be (completely or at least partially) at fault, you may be able to recover compensation from Uber’s insurance coverage.
