Handling the Insurance Company

Our Uber accident lawyers will handle every aspect of your claim, including negotiating with the driver’s insurance company or Uber’s insurer. Our legal team has extensive experience negotiating with insurance companies and is familiar with the tactics they will use to delay a claim, minimize payout, or deny a claim. Our legal team will not back down and will work tirelessly to help you recover the compensation you’re owed. If the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, our trial-tested attorneys can file a lawsuit on your behalf. As they prepare for trial, they will continue to negotiate with the other party. Typically, these cases do not make it to trial and are often settled out of court. An insurance company does not want to risk paying more or wasting valuable resources going to trial.
