If you or a loved one was injured in an Uber accident, our Spring Hill ride can help. After an accident involving a rideshare vehicle, you can seek recovery for your medical bills, lost income, and other damages.
A Spring Hill Uber accident lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will be by your side every step of the legal process. We offer free consultations and work on a contingency-fee basis. You don’t pay for our legal services unless we are successful in recovering compensation.
You Have a Limited Time to File Your Accident Lawsuit
Per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a), you generally have a four-year period to file your injury lawsuit. If you’re filing a wrongful death lawsuit, you have even less time to file––typically two years from the date of your loved one’s passing.
It’s critical to take action within this allotted period. Failing to file your lawsuit on time could affect your ability to recover damages.
Can I Receive Compensation If I Have Been Injured in an Uber Accident?
Recovering damages after an Uber accident can be difficult. The driver or Uber itself may not be cooperative. This is where an Uber accident attorney could help.
Our Spring Hill personal injury lawyers will fight for the maximum amount of compensation possible, including reimbursement for: Medical Bills
You can recover any out-of-pocket costs you incurred because of your Uber accident, including emergency room care, the ambulance ride, surgeries, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and medications.
Compensation for your medical bills should account for your past, present, and future injury-related losses. You shouldn’t have to forsake any aspect of your treatment plan because of concerns about cost.
Lost Earnings
It may take months before you can return to work. If you had to be out of work for any amount of time, you can include lost earnings in your claim. You could also seek damages for diminished earning capacity.
Your Uber accident lawyer in Spring Hill will use your employment records and testimony from experts in your field to determine what you need. If you cannot work at all because of your condition, we can seek compensation for disability. This non-economic damage reflects the hardship of living with a long-term disabling condition.
Property Damage Expenses
If you collided with an Uber vehicle, your car could need serious repairs. If your vehicle was totaled, you may be without transportation. Our team can seek compensation for the cost of replacing or repairing your car, as well as temporary transportation arrangements.
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering accounts for the overall hardship of your situation. How much you can recover for this expense depends on your unique situation, including the severity of your condition and your expected recovery period.
Emotional Distress
After being in a car accident, you could be fearful of riding in a car or show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. You may suffer from other psychological problems, as well. If you are dealing with negative mental health issues because of the accident or your injuries, we can pursue damages for emotional distress.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
In some cases, your injuries may affect your quality of life. You may find yourself unable to partake in your favorite hobbies or move with the same range of motion.
If you can no longer participate in hobbies, sports, or other activities you used to, you can include loss of enjoyment of life in your case.
Loss of Consortium
If a loved one passed away because of the injuries they sustained in an Uber accident, you can seek loss of consortium. This expense accounts for the deprivation of companionship and affection.
In a wrongful death case, you could also pursue funeral expenses, end-of-life care costs, and other hardships.
Uber’s Insurance Policy May Cover Your Damages
Uber accident cases can be complicated because there could be several insurance carriers involved. For instance, you may first file a claim with your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage to seek damages. However, if your damages exceed your policy limits, you can pursue Uber for compensation.
Consider the following:
- If the Uber app is off and the Uber driver gets in an accident, their personal insurance policy coverage will apply. You could also file a claim with your own PIP coverage.
- If the Uber driver was waiting for a request, then Uber offers $50,000 in bodily injury per person, $100,000 in bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 in property damage per accident.
- If the Uber driver was en route to pick up a passenger, then Uber offers $1,000,000 third-party liability coverage, among other benefits.
Our attorneys will determine who is liable for your injuries.
