Abbeville Uber Accident Lawyer

We could help if you are involved in a crash with an Uber or while riding in an Uber. When involved in an Uber accident, the expectation is that the compensation process follows the same one as a car accident. However, this may not be so. Rideshare accidents are more complicated, as there are more parties involved.

They include the Uber driver, Uber as the rideshare company, and a potential third party that might be an insurance company. Consequently, you could retain an Abbeville Uber accident lawyer to help you navigate this maze. They could help you avoid any loopholes that may cause you to miss out on compensation.

Who Is Held Liable for an Uber Accident in Abbeville?

An Uber accident is potentially as dangerous as any other car wreck. It also carries the same implications as any other car wreck would. In Louisiana, Uber drivers carry a higher insurance cover. Therefore, a victim of an Uber accident may be liable for a higher damages payout. However, your car accident lawyer needs to first determine the at-fault party in the accident.

Finding out who was at fault following an Uber crash is important towards determining the party liable to pay damages. The at-fault driver could have been distracted, driven under the influence, or generally driven carelessly enough to cause the accident. This could make them liable for your losses, depending on the situation.

The Uber driver’s insurance might not be enough to cover the damages of your injuries, so you could turn to the rideshare company. Your Uber accident lawyer will try to prove the liable party responsible for your losses. Usually, the insurance company will want to avoid paying out compensation, but our lawyers anticipate such scenarios all the time and are ready to counter.

What Are the Recoverable Damages in an Uber Accident Case?

A victim of an Uber accident will naturally want to know how much they can recover from the accident to pay for their damages. Usually, an attorney will guide you by calculating how much your damages are worth. An accident victim could claim two types of damages: economic and non-economic.

Economic Damages

Economic damages have a monetary value fixed to them. For example, victims may suffer traumatic injuries that require medical care, leading to accumulated medical bills. Additionally, loss of income or the ability to work can be calculated and have a figure attached to it. Other economic damages include the following:

  • Costs of rehabilitation after an injury
  • Buying equipment such as wheelchairs
  • Having to renovate one’s home to accommodate structures such as ramps

Non-Economic Damages

These damages are not tangible, and one cannot easily affix a certain monetary value to them. Examples of non-economic damages a victim of an Uber accident could claim include:

  • Pain and anguish occasioned by the accident
  • Loss of support
  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder occasioned by the accident
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Broken relationships

Is There a Deadline to File an Uber Accident Lawsuit?

Following an Uber accident, you should act as soon as possible. This could involve seeking the advice of an Uber accident lawyer. You do not have an indefinite amount of time to file a damages lawsuit, as CC Art. 3492 states.

A statute of limitations is a law that strictly stipulates the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. If you fail to file within this time limit, the judge might dismiss the matter in a court of law.

In Louisiana, certain cases are exempt from the statute of limitations including when the driver is minor in the accident. In this case, the statute of limitations will only start running after they turn 18. This is regardless of the minor’s age at the time of the accident.

The law allows you to file a lawsuit within two years of the accident. Two years may sound like a long time, but it sure goes by pretty fast. Some injuries take a while to manifest; therefore, waiting it out may disqualify you from filing for damages.

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