Scott Uber Accident Lawyer

Whenever you get into an accident involving an Uber driver, you might be wondering what your options are to recover damages. Although getting into a wreck involving an Uber is a bit more complicated, you can still recover the damages you’ve incurred. If you have a Scott Uber accident lawyer by your side, we will guide you through the legal process and help you recover the damages that are owed to you.

Insurance Coverage for Ridesharing Accidents

An Uber is classified as a ridesharing vehicle, and people who ride in one are subject to various protections. The Uber organization keeps drivers insured using Allstate, Farmers Insurance, Liberty Mutual, and Progressive. The insurance covers third-party liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury, and contingent comprehensive and collision. These coverages are enacted under certain conditions maintained by Uber and may not be adequate for all the injuries sustained by you. That’s why it’s helpful to have a Scott Uber accident lawyer to help negotiate any accident claims.

In addition to the above insurance, the Transportation Network Company Motor Vehicle Responsibility Law provides some gap insurance.

Personal Injury Claims

In some instances, personal injury claims go beyond the realm of what is covered by the insurance. In this case, you will want to talk to an attorney about filing a personal claim for injuries. The Louisiana Civil Code CC Art. 2315 states that residents can file a personal injury claim in the case of an Uber accident. Also, they must do so within two years from the accident. This is called the statute of limitations (CC Art. 3492).

When working with a Scott Uber accident lawyer, we will ensure your claim gets filed on time, and you move forward expeditiously.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Who Is to Blame for Negligence in Uber Accidents?

When there is a collision with an Uber, the negligence laws of Louisiana will apply. Most states use the modified comparative fault rule for determining negligence. There are three variations to this rule. One of the rules states that if the person is 50 percent or less to blame, they can reclaim damages. Another rule says that whatever person has the higher blame cannot file, and the other person is eligible to file. Finally, the pure comparative rule states that you can be up to 99 percent to blame and still file a claim. However, your award will be reduced by the amount of blame you have.

For example, if a driver is found to be 40 percent at fault and the total award is $100,000, then the amount they would have for damages would be $60,000. However, since you are not an Uber driver, your personal injury claims may not be reduced.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

What Should You Do After an Uber Accident?

After an Uber accident, you may be flustered and confused about what to do. First, remain calm so that you can take the appropriate steps to help your attorney with your case in the future.

Write a Record of What Happened

While your mind is still fresh, take time to jot down some notes about what happened. If you wait a long time, you may have fewer memories or details of the incident.

Take Some Pictures

Sometimes it’s helpful for the record to take pictures. Since you were not one of the drivers, it may not be as relevant to get pictures of the vehicles, but you could get pictures of any injuries or personal damages you sustained.

Obtain a Police Report

The parties will file a police report about what occurred. Be sure to get a copy of the report, so you can give it to a Scott Uber accident lawyer.

Get Medical Help

It’s very important to seek out a medical professional for your injuries. It’s best to have documentation about the treatment you received for your injuries. Even if you feel fine, you want to have a check-up to ensure there are no internal injuries.

Talk to an Attorney

After an accident, it’s a good idea to talk to an attorney to find out your options and what steps you might want to take moving forward.
