 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With LLN attorneys Harry and Gerardo I never had to worry. I never had to worry about whether LLN is going get me the best settlement possible…or rollover at the first offer. Harry and Gerardo have a simple action plan. Present the case for negotiation. If that’s not respected then go to trial. After I signed up with LLN I was introduced to the entire team on a Zoom call. I was told who was responsible for what. I was told where things happen, when things happen, and how they happen. I downloaded the LLN app, and if I needed to reach anyone I simply messaged them and someone got back to me in a timely manner. I always had the option to call if necessary. What I didn’t have to deal with is a guy on a billboard telling me how cool and tough they are. The same guy that calls right away when the slightest pushback happens telling me I need to settle. LLN are trial attorneys who actually go to trial against the opposition. It seems like most other law firms only go to trial when they’re suing their own law partner. How many billboards have I driven past? How many buses with advertisement on the side? How many TV commercials telling me how “they’re gonna fight for my whatever”. It doesn’t happen… and it’s all smoke and mirrors with a majority of the attorneys out there. I believe the attorneys at LLN didn’t do this just for me. LLN operates the way they do because they have pride in their work and self-respect. They have a reputation to uphold, not only with their clients but also with their colleagues and their peers. How do I know this? Because I saw them interact with mediators and judges. I saw how they were treated by the people making the decisions. They have their respect. It’s critical to note that I had realistic expectations for my settlement. For me it was all about finding the sweet spot. The trade-off between a long trial and a verdict, or taking what quite possibly is just as close an offer and settling much earlier while minimizing risk. Once I made a decision I did not look back. The attorneys at LLN are realistic. They stated ‘this is what we have’ , ‘this is what we don’t have’, and ‘this is what we might be able to achieve’ . I made a decision with as much informed consent as possible. I can live with that.

Client Success: $950,000 After Rideshare Driver Hit Another Vehicle

Who Is Legally Responsible for an Uber Accident?

As with most car accident cases, Uber accident claims will generally be based on negligence. For a driver to be negligent, they need to have had a duty to behave in a certain way, failed to uphold that duty, and caused the other person’s injuries by doing this. For example, drivers have a duty to follow the rules of the road, and state law does not allow drivers to have their cell phones in their hands. An Uber driver who picks up their phone to check the Uber app, looks away from the road, and hits another vehicle could be negligent. This means they, or their insurance company, would be responsible for any injuries the accident caused.

In some cases, when an employee is negligent while doing their job, their employer could actually be liable for any accidents they cause. However, since Uber drivers are currently considered independent contractors, this rule does not apply to them. If the driver causes an accident, they are usually personally liable. If another driver outside of the Uber vehicle caused the accident, that person would be responsible for any resulting injuries, and the rideshare situation would not affect a claim. Our attorneys in Bakersfield could help an injured Uber rider determine the cause of a crash.

Common Uber Accident Causes and Injuries

Checking the Uber app while driving is just one example of negligence. Many other negligent behaviors could cause an Uber driver or the driver of another vehicle to cause a collision.

Other examples of negligent driving include:

Texting and driving and other forms of distracted driving, such as eating, or looking in the mirror
Illegally passing, cutting another driver off, or crowding another driver’s lane
Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs
Running red lights or stop signs
Making improper turns
Tailgating
Failing to yield
Speeding

When negligent driving leads to a crash, victims can sustain serious injuries, such as whiplash, back and shoulder injuries, broken bones, facial injuries, and severe cuts and bruising. Catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage, also commonly occur in car accidents.

If an Uber driver or another motorist injured you or someone you love, our Bakersfield Uber accident attorneys could help you prove negligence and seek compensation from the responsible parties.

Does Uber Have Any Liability for an Accident?

In most Uber accidents, a negligent driver is responsible for the collision, not Uber. However, car accident claims go through the negligent driver’s insurance company, and Uber does provide additional insurance for its drivers. The coverage limits on these policies are much higher than the requirements for personal driving. California drivers need $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident in injury liability coverage, as well as $15,000 for property damage. Medical expenses after a serious accident can easily exceed these limits.

If an Uber driver is either on a trip or on their way to pick up a passenger, they are covered for up to $1 million in injuries or property damage to passengers or third parties. If the driver is logged into the app and ready to accept trips, they are covered for injuries up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident and up to $25,000 in property damage. Drivers use their personal auto insurance coverage when they are not signed into the Uber app. For those involved in a Bakersfield Uber accident as a pedestrian or other driver, whether the Uber driver was on their way to pick up a passenger or waiting for their next assignment can make a substantial difference in the amount of insurance coverage available.

Who Can File a Claim?

Anyone injured in an accident involving an Uber in Bakersfield could seek compensation from the party at fault for the crash. Potential claimants include:

- Uber passengers – Injured Uber passengers could file claims against liable Uber drivers and the liable drivers of other involved vehicles.
- Uber drivers – If you are an Uber driver and you sustained injuries in a crash caused by another motorist, you could seek compensation from that motorist.
- Other motorists – If you were the driver or passenger of a vehicle that an Uber hit, you could seek compensation from the Uber driver.
- Bicyclists and pedestrians – If an Uber hit you while you were cycling or walking, you could have a claim against the Uber driver.

Families of fatally injured loved ones – The family members of fatally injured parties may have wrongful death claims against the at-fault Uber driver or other at-fault motorists.

Our Bakersfield lawyers assist all types of Uber accident claimants with seeking compensation. We could help injured parties pursue damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Our goal is to help those harmed by negligence obtain full and fair settlements or verdicts.

What to Do After an Uber Accident

The first thing you should do after an Uber accident is stop your vehicle (or ensure your Uber driver stops). Do not leave the scene because doing so could be considered a hit and run.

Next, seek medical treatment for yourself or anyone else who needs assistance. If you do not get medical aid at the time of the crash, see a doctor as soon as possible to assess your injuries and create a medical record for your accident claim.

You should also call an officer from the Bakersfield Police Department to the scene. Reporting accidents involving injuries or death is the law, and the officer will make a report that you will need for your claim.

While at the crash site, gather as much information as you can, including contact information, insurance information, license plate numbers, and driver’s license numbers from all those involved.

Finally, file your insurance claims promptly. Insurance policy deadlines can be short. If you must take legal action, there are also strict deadlines for filing a lawsuit. Our Uber accident lawyers in Bakersfield could help you get started right away.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.

DO I NEED TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.

After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent.

Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident.

WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM GO TO TRIAL?

Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses.
