Gretna Uber Accident Lawyer

Rideshare apps like Uber make it easier to travel throughout Gretna, but riders can still find themselves in a car accident when someone else is driving. These stressful events can affect one’s health, finances, and well-being for a long time. If you have been in an Uber collision, we can help you.

A Gretna Uber accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can seek financial recovery from the at-fault or liable parties. An insurance claim or lawsuit can give you the money you need to cover your accident-related injuries and losses. You can consider your options for compensation during a free consultation with our team today. 

Who Is Responsible for My Gretna Uber Accident Injuries?

Multiple parties can be liable for your damages In a Gretna Uber accident.

  • If you were a passenger, the Uber driver or other motorists could be liable for the accident.
  • If you were the Uber driver, someone else’s negligence may have caused your accident. For example, another driver may have collided with your vehicle.
  • If you were not an Uber passenger or an Uber driver, the liable party could be the Uber driver. This scenario can also include other drivers in the crash.

Regardless of which party you are, figuring out which driver is responsible for your damages can be confusing. Our lawyers are ready to get to the bottom of your Uber accident and figure out who is liable so that you can know who to request damages from.

Uber Insurance Policies

One key part of an Uber accident is figuring out which policy or policies come into play. Uber drivers who do not have the app on, are not waiting for riders, or not picking up or traveling with a passenger must use their own insurance coverage.

If the Uber driver is on the app and waiting for a passenger to request a ride, a third-party liability policy from Uber is available. It covers $50,000 for injuries per person or $100,00 for injuries per accident. This also covers $25,000 in property damage for every accident.

For Uber drivers riding with passengers or traveling to pick up riders, a different Uber insurance policy takes over. Uber covers these active drivers with a $1,000,000 third-party liability policy. Uninsured motorist coverage and comprehensive collision coverage may also be available.

Is It Costly to Hire a Gretna Injury Lawyer for an Uber Accident?

At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we work on contingency, which eases our clients’ financial concerns and helps us start on their cases right away. We charge no upfront fees or costs. We receive payment only if our clients win their cases. If they do, we receive a percentage we mutually agreed on only after settling the case. Therefore, our fees depend on our work and the collection of your compensation.

Will My Gretna Uber Case Move to Court?

Many Uber car accident cases in Gretna end with settlements rather than court trials. “Settlement” refers to a mutual agreement between two parties (out of court) to drop a pending lawsuit and award specified damages.

The moment you file your claim with the relevant insurer, the company often evaluates the damages and proceeds to make a settlement offer. However, it’s essential to know you are not under obligation to accept an insurer’s initial settlement offer.

We can help you review any offers and proceed with a trial if we cannot recover compensation for you via a settlement.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.

Is There a Deadline to File a Gretna Uber Accident Lawsuit?

Louisiana law sets a two-year deadline for injury lawsuits (CC Art. 3492), starting on the accident date. If you are filing a wrongful death action, you also have two years from the date the person died, per CC Art. 2315.2. When you speak to our Gretna Uber accident lawyer, we can advise you on your specific timeline and any exceptions that may apply to your case.

We suggest contacting a lawyer as soon as possible after your Uber accident. This will give us ample opportunity to speak to witnesses, gather the police report and other key evidence, and file your lawsuit with the court.
