Uber Accident Lawyer Monterey, CA
To win your personal injury claim, our attorney must identify who was at fault for the crash. This individual or entity is called the defendant and is who we seek compensation from. In a rideshare accident, there are usually three different parties who could be held liable: your driver, Uber, or a third-party motorist. To establish blame, our Monterey Uber accident lawyer reviews all the available evidence, including the police report, witness statements, photos of the scene, and traffic or dashcam footage. In complicated crashes, like those involving multiple vehicles, our attorney may consult an accident reconstructionist to get a clear picture of what happened.
Uber holds a third-party liability insurance policy that is designed to protect passengers in a crash. However, Uber is only liable if the driver was active in the app at the time of the collision. Uber considers a driver active if they are in the process of picking up or completing a ride. If the accident happened outside of these duties, your claim for damages will be filed against the driver’s personal insurance unless there is evidence that another car caused the crash.
The value of your claim depends on how badly you were injured and the amount of damages you incurred. In addition to medical bills, our personal injury lawyer may be able to seek compensation for ruined property, missed wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. We make it our mission to get every dollar our client is owed. Our attorney doesn’t just look at immediate losses. We consider whether or not you will need future medical treatments and other expenses that could come up because of the crash.
Why Experience Matters In Uber Accident Cases
Rideshare accidents are more difficult to win because of these liability challenges. Added to that, our attorney may be going against Uber’s legal team, which is going to do everything possible to avoid paying a substantial settlement. Our managing attorney, Jesse Danoff, has a reputation for being a “get-it-done” guy. He never backs down from a fight and zealously represents every client, no matter how powerful the defendant is. When you partner with our personal injury law firm, you can trust that your case is in good hands and that we will do everything possible to win.
