Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have revolutionized the world. With a quick flick of a button, you can call a car to get to where you need to go, often at a price that’s cheaper than your traditional street taxi. However, accidents can still happen, and when they happen, it’s important to seek compensation. Seeking this compensation isn’t always a straightforward process, but our Cottonwood Heights, UT Uber accident lawyer can ease the process when you call us today!
Cottonwood Heights, UT Uber Accident Lawyer
Uber accidents differ from standard car crashes because the issue of liability can be complicated. Liability can depend on if the driver was actively using the app, waiting to pick up a passenger, or if they were transporting a passenger. When the driver is off-duty, it’s typically their or their insurance company’s responsibility to foot the bill. However, if they are logged into the app or on an active ride, Uber’s commercial policy may cover injuries and damages—sometimes up to $1 million in coverage.
This issue of liability isn’t always straightforward. Trying to handle negotiations on your own while dealing with recovery can be overwhelming. Insurance adjusters are often incentivized to limit or outright refuse coverage. They can also pressure you into taking a lower settlement. Our team can help you fight back to secure you a better settlement.
Most victims are aware that a settlement can cover medical expenses, but a settlement can cover many other areas as well. Besides paying for immediate and future medical needs, a settlement can also cover lost wages, job rehabilitation, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and more. When we meet with you, we’ll listen to your story and determine what a fair and just settlement would look like.
Uber accident cases are usually resolved outside of the courtroom, but we’re not afraid to take a case to trial when necessary.
