Determining Fault in an Uber Accident
Rideshare companies may or may not be responsible for your injuries if their driver caused the accident. This depends on what is occurring at the time of the accident. Here are some examples.
- You are a passenger. If you booked a ride and the driver picked up the ride, and then caused an accident, Uber maintains at least some responsibility for your injuries. That opens the door to a much larger liability claim potential.
- You are hurt by a driver. If you are a pedestrian, a driver in another car, or any other party, you can only seek compensation against Uber if the driver was logged into the app and providing a service. If they were not, then only the driver maintains responsibility.
There are many other situations at play. For example, a truck driver may have been at fault in the accident, or another vehicle struck the Uber car. Exploring all of these potential avenues to compensation can be complex. Your Newnan Uber accident lawyer at our firm can help.

What We Do to Build Your Case
After an accident like this, take full care of yourself and your safety. Request medical care, take photos, and document everything you can. Then, let us go to work for you. Our legal team will build a claim for you that incorporates all losses you have.
To do this, we start with a comprehensive investigation. That process will include working one-on-one with you to gather evidence, request data from the Uber app, and seek out witness statements. We want to know what was happening and why.
We then look at all of the losses you have to build your claim. That includes medical bills from the incident, lost wages from time missed at work, and pain and suffering. Expect our team to be aggressive in pursuing full compensation for you.
We then seek a claim against the at-fault parties, addressing any questions they have. Most of the time, we engage in a fair level of communication with our clients, resulting in a settlement that covers your losses. If not, we will seek legal action in a court of law. The statute of limitations in cases like this typically provides you with up to two years to seek a lawsuit. We make sure you know what your rights are.
What Your Claim May Be Worth
The value of your Uber car accident claim depends on the type of injuries you have, whether you will fully recover, and any losses we can prove beyond that for pain and suffering. We work closely with you to uncover all potential damages and then fight for fair treatment.
