Uber Accident Lawyer

Uber is a popular rideshare company that has made it easy and convenient for people to get around. However, the increasing popularity of ridesharing services has also led to an increase in Uber vehicles on the road and more collisions. Uber car accidents are often complex and confusing. Many rideshare accident victims are unsure of who should be held responsible, another motorist, the Uber driver, or the rideshare company. At the Hines Law Firm, our Uber accident lawyers can help guide you through the legal process, investigate the accident, and determine who should be held responsible for your accident-related financial losses.

Should I Hire An Uber Accident Attorney?

Unlike an accident involving two passenger vehicles, Uber car accidents can be extremely complex and prove to be a harder time.

Our attorneys have extensive experience handling complex rideshare accident claims and know how to investigate an accident to identify all liable parties and hold them accountable for your economic and non-economic damages.

Multiple parties can be held liable in rideshare accidents. A personal injury attorney can investigate your accident to determine whose insurance policy was active at the time of the accident, and which party should be held liable for your damages.

Uber Insurance Coverage

Georgia requires Uber to carry liability insurance coverage up to one million dollars on their independent contractors. This insurance coverage will only apply if the Uber driver was the fault party for the collision and they were either on their way to pick up a passenger or transporting a passenger. Limited liability coverage can take effect if the driver was active on the app at the time of the car crash.

Handling the Insurance Company

Our personal injury lawyers will handle every aspect of your claims process, including negotiating with the driver’s insurance company or Uber’s insurer. Our experienced attorneys have extensive experience negotiating with insurance companies and are familiar with the tactics they will use to delay a personal injury claim, minimize payout, or deny a claim completely. Our experienced rideshare accident lawyers 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.
