Uber Insurance Policies

Compensation from an Uber Lawsuit

Uber’s insurance coverage may allow you to recover various damages and expenses if you were involved in an incident with a driver or if you were hit by another vehicle. The insurance agent handling the case will look at the extent of the injuries you suffered, how much of an impact they had on your daily life and career opportunities, your age, your job type, whether or not you were responsible for the incident in any way, and much more. The value of your case may change depending on many factors, but regardless, our goal is to ensure that you are given the fairest settlement available for your case. Our lawyers will aim to secure you the following:

• Medical expenses for any surgery, ambulatory transportation, anesthesiologist fees, specialist fees, medication and prescription drug costs, physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions, future medical treatments, and more
• Property damage for any personal items that were lost or broken in the incident, replacement of anything you owned that was lost, mechanic’s fees for damages done to your vehicle, and more
• Lost income, like commissions, tips, bonuses, benefits, and wages, due to absence from work or inability to hold a job due to injuries, as well as future reimbursement for income due to medical procedures or recovery time
• Pain and suffering damages for emotional trauma, psychological stress, mental scarring, PTSD, fear, anxiety, and more

We can also pursue punitive damages for your case, which are additional amounts of monetary compensation awarded in the event of gross negligence or when you were intentionally harmed by the defendant. These damages are difficult to acquire, though, as many courts and juries view them as excessive or unnecessary. Only a skilled attorney with experience in Uber cases will be able to win them for you.

You may also be able to receive wrongful death damages in the event of a family member or loved one passed away in the incident. Wrongful death damages can include coverage for the funeral and burial fees, loss of inheritance and savings, loss of expected income, loss of relations and consortium, pre-death medical bills and expenses, pre-death pain and suffering of the deceased, and more.

We will stop at nothing to bring you the coverage you need. Uber’s insurance will be used to pay for the various losses and damages you suffered in the incident.

Statute of Limitations to Pursue a Lawsuit against Uber

There is a statute of limitations, or deadline, that you must abide by if you wish to pursue coverage from Uber’s insurance carrier for expenses or damages. Personal injury lawsuits have a deadline of 2 years from the date of the injury if you are filing a claim in California. The statute of limitations allows the plaintiff sufficient time to gather evidence, and it lets the defendant build his own case. It would be unfair to the plaintiff if the statute were too short, and it would not be fair to the defendant if individuals could file claims a long time in the future. It is generally recommended that individuals file claims quickly, as the evidence will be best preserved and there will be a smaller chance of it being lost or corrupted.

It is possible for the statute of limitations to be extended, which can greatly benefit your case. The most common cause involves minors. Minors cannot sue; they must have parents or legal guardians do so on their behalf. Therefore, the statute of limitations will not start to count down until they turn 18 years old, unless someone represents them ahead of time. Additionally, if an accident left a victim mentally or physically incapacitated, the statute won’t begin to expire until the victim returns to awareness or functionality. It is also required that the defendant be in California – if he has left the state, the statute of limitations will be frozen until the time he returns.

The majority of times that cases do not succeed or get off the ground is because the victims were not aware of the statute of limitations. They believed that they had more time, or they did not know that there was an expiration date on the claim. This is why we recommend reaching out to our attorneys. You will not be in any danger of missing a deadline, and we will ensure that all relevant pieces of evidence and proceedings are submitted to the insurance company well within the allotted time frame.
