Slidell Uber Accident Lawyer

Your day is going fine when suddenly you get into an Uber accident. This is particularly difficult if you are the passenger. What are the next steps when an Uber accident occurs? Who is responsible for the wreck? Do you know what forms to file or who to contact? With the aid of a Slidell Uber accident lawyer, you can get the help you need to move to the first step in recovering the damages from your accident.

A Slidell Uber accident lawyer will assist you with all the filing deadlines and communicating with third parties, so you can focus on resting. With a lawyer by your side, you can obtain compensatory damages from the accident.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim

When filing a personal injury claim, you have to adhere to the state’s laws and timeline. Each state follows its own guidelines for filing and processing personal injury claims. Louisiana’s CC Art. 2315 allows for personal injury claims in car accident situations. And, according to CC Art. 3492, you need to file the claim without two years of the accident. In some situations, there may be exceptions to this rule, so check with a Slidell Uber accident lawyer if you’re past the timeframe but still need to file a claim.

A Slidell accident attorney can file the appropriate paperwork for you so that things move through smoothly. There is no need for you to be stressed during the process of recovering damages.

Injuries and Damages in an Uber Accident

After getting into an Uber accident, you may be in pain. It’s vital to seek medical attention for your injuries right away. Some people neglect this step because they think they’re ok. However, there may be hidden injuries you’re unaware of that need attention. The physician may see problems on an X-ray that you didn’t know were there.

Also, whiplash can show up a bit later after the accident. So, when you seek medical attention, be sure to describe exactly what happened, so the doctor can assess whether you may have whiplash. They can also tell you what to look for in the upcoming days.

Another important reason to seek medical attention right away is that this will provide a clear record of treatment for your Slidell Uber accident lawyer.

Some of the more common injuries you may incur from an Uber accident include:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Hairline fracture or broken bones
  • Neck injury
  • Facial or dental injury
  • Concussion
  • Whiplash
  • Lacerations, bruises, and burns

An attorney will calculate the costs of these injuries. Some of the costs will be straightforward because you pay for it out of your own pocket. Some of these damages could include:

  • Medical bills
  • Income loss or reduction
  • Other costs associated with the accident

Other damages need to be calculated using a special formula accepted by the courts because they involve noneconomic costs. Noneconomic costs have a value to your life. Some of these include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment, pleasure, or happiness
  • Loss of consortium

Negligence and Liability Laws in Louisiana

Louisiana is a pure comparative fault state. This means that a party in an accident can be up to 99 percent at fault and still pursue damages. However, the award will be reduced by the percentage of blame the driver had. How do negligence laws apply to a person in an Uber accident? Since you were a passenger, you don’t have any of the blame, so this law doesn’t affect you. The only thing it’s helpful for is knowing which insurer to communicate with to recover damages. A Slidell Uber accident lawyer will assess the accident report and determine which is the proper insurance provider to contact.

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