Many are unaware of their rights when involved in an Uber accident. It could have been the Uber drivers fault. Therefore if they are at fault you immediately access the rideshare companies insurance policies. The Ubers share app must be on at the time of the accident in order to apply the insurance policy of the driver. Let’s say the app is off at the time of the accident, then the victim would need to access the driver’s primary insurance. These drivers are like any other drivers. In this case, this will fall under Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist claim towards the rideshare companies insurance. The thing is with this compensation available to the injured passengers the victims of the personal injury have the right to seek financial coverage for the damages suffered.
Therefore it will be calculated to see how the recovery for the damage will be predicated. We will fight for your medical expenses and future medical costs. Even the loss of income you may have lost due to long term and permanent disability. Courts will apply claims where the victims suffered harm due to reckless conduct.

Seek medical attention immediately if you’re injured in any way. Keep all of the records to your medical. You must take down all the information that is important.
