If you’re one of the millions experiencing the ‘Uber revolution’, you may notice getting around town is much cheaper in many instances. The rise of ridesharing services has taken California – the first state to allow such activities – by storm. Founded in 2009, the globally accessible app-based cab service shares one common trait with other Golden State motorists: car accidents.
Rideshare accidents aren’t different from taxicab accidents my firm, featuring an aggressive Uber crash lawyer, handled in years past. In fact, the only difference is the name of the company or insurer we’re holding accountable.
Passenger or Passenger Car, We Protect You
Uber drivers do work uncharacteristically long hours. This is because only a small percentage of fares are given to drivers. Long hours, mixed with already congested California traffic, create an imminent disaster for passenger cars and Uber passengers alike. Regardless of the excuse, we’re able to hold these drivers legally responsible for whiplash, breakages, strains, or head injuries caused by their negligence.
Procedurally speaking, we approach Uber-related accidents like any other. We’ll gather all facts surrounding the incident, poll witnesses, gather camera footage, bundle the entire case into a pretty package and present our findings to the insurer and, in extreme cases, Uber themselves. Settle fairly or face the jury, it’s up to them. The Law Offices of Howard Kornberg isn’t picky; we’ve won in either venue.
Pedestrians, you’re also covered by Uber drivers who illegally crossed into a protected area. Bicyclists, too. In fact, anywhere you’re living or existing now is protected when you’re there, provided you have permission to be there. This means an Uber driver who plows into your house is liable for damages there, too.
Uber’s $1 million in liability coverage usually activates when drivers have secured their passengers. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll nail them for that amount; it just means Uber-sponsored liability coverage will cover accidents that cause that much damage. Personal insurers can be held liable, too, but that’s usually only when Uber’s rider doesn’t cover passengers or other vehicles.
Remember, consultation with our San Bernardino Uber accident attorney cost nothing but your time.
