If you were injured as a passenger in an Uber vehicle, your recovery is not limited to your current and future medical care (including procedures and surgeries).  You may also be able to recover for medication, medical devices, lost wages and income potential, emotional distress, lost enjoyment of life and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone has died, the victim’s family may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.  Such claims may include loss of financial support, medical expenses related to the accident, lost companionship, funeral and burial costs, pain and suffering, and other intangible losses like guidance and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I Need to Hire A Lawyer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes.  Uber and insurance companies will fight tooth and nail to deny your claims, minimize coverage, and deny the extent of your injuries.  Just because Uber and other ride-share companies are required to maintain $1 million in insurance does not mean that you will receive the maximum amount to which you’re entitled.  The mission of every insurance company is to deny or limit your claim as much as possible.  Insurance companies will hire doctors and other experts to testify in court that your injuries are not as severe as you say.  From our experience, insurance companies will not offer you anywhere near the full value of your claim unless you are represented by a proven personal injury lawyer.  This is why it’s necessary to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer without delay if you wish to achieve a fair result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
