Common Causes of Uber Accidents

Similar to other types of car accidents, Uber accidents can have a variety of different causes. When you are dealing with the aftermath of a collision, determining the cause (or causes) of the collision is the first step toward holding the at-fault party (or parties) accountable. Common causes of Uber accidents include:

• Distracted driving (including following GPS directions and using the Uber app)
• Fatigued driving (including due to spending long hours providing rideshares)
• Aggressive driving (including speeding, running red lights and stop signs, and weaving through traffic)
• Careless driving (including merging without looking, turning without looking, and failing to brake in time to avoid a collision)
• Impaired driving (including driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs)

While these are among the most common causes of Uber accidents in Florida, rideshare accidents can result from other factors as well. When you choose Searcy Denney to represent you, an Uber accident lawyer at our firm will examine all possible causes of your accident to ensure that we can fight to hold all responsible parties accountable.

How a Florida Uber Accident Lawyer at Searcy Denney Can Help

If you were injured in an Uber accident, it is important that you do not try to handle your situation on your own. You could be facing substantial losses, and, without an experienced lawyer representing you, there is a very good chance that you will end up with far less than you deserve. Here are just some of the ways an experienced Uber accident lawyer at Searcy Denney can help:

1. Investigating Your Uber Accident

Filing a successful claim after an Uber accident requires proof of what happened and who (or what company) is responsible. This makes it critical to conduct an investigation right away. When you hire an Uber accident lawyer at our firm to represent you, your lawyer will work quickly to collect the evidence needed to prove your legal rights.

While any photos or videos you took with your phone at the scene of the accident will be helpful, this is far from all of the evidence that is needed to file a successful claim. In many cases, in addition to gathering forensic evidence at the scene of the accident, it will be necessary to obtain drivers’ phone records, internal corporate records from Uber, and other forms of documentation as well.

2. Calculating the Losses You Are Entitled to Recover

Filing a successful claim after an Uber accident in Florida also requires proof of the losses you are entitled to recover. This includes not only your medical bills and repair bills, but also your lost earnings (present and future), pain and suffering, and other non-financial and non-financial losses.

Ensuring that you are seeking financial compensation for all of your losses is extremely important—you only get one chance to seek the financial compensation you deserve. When you hire an experienced lawyer to represent you, your lawyer will help make sure that you do not unknowingly leave any money on the table.

3. Determining What Claim (or Claims) You Can File

Victims of Uber accidents can have claims against a variety of parties, depending on the circumstances surrounding their accident. Based on the evidence uncovered during the investigative process, your lawyer will determine what claim (or claims) you are eligible to file.

While seeking just compensation after an Uber accident often involves filing an auto insurance claim, Uber also carries insurance that covers its drivers’ accidents. Vehicle manufacturers, repair shops, road construction contractors, and various other parties can also be held accountable for car accidents in appropriate cases.

4. Dealing with the Insurance Companies for You

After filing your claim (or claims), your Uber accident lawyer will deal with the insurance companies for you. The insurance companies will be fighting to avoid liability by all means available, so it is critical that you have an advocate fighting on your side.

5. Helping You Seek the Full Compensation You Deserve

Ultimately, your lawyer’s job is to help you seek the full compensation you deserve. Most successful Uber accident claims end with insurance settlements, and your lawyer will prioritize working to secure a favorable settlement offer on your behalf.

But your lawyer will also be prepared to take your claim (or claims) to court if necessary. Sometimes, the insurance companies aren’t willing to make settlement offers that victims are willing to accept. If a fair settlement offer isn’t on the table in your case, you will need a lawyer who is prepared to do what it takes to win the compensation you deserve.
