Serving millions of passengers every year, there is no doubt that Uber is a popular service for people when they need a ride. With that said, not every Uber ride goes as expected. Uber accidents are common and they can lead to serious injuries.
Uber Accidents in West Palm Beach
If you have been in a West Palm Beach Uber accident, you should consider seeking compensation for any losses. Since these claims can be more complex than those that involve regular drivers, hiring a personal injury lawyer in West Palm Beach will offer the best chance of recovering fair compensation.
Elstein Legal is an Uber accident law firm in West Palm Beach. We have the experience to handle the complicated issues that may come into play in ridesharing accident claims and our West Palm Beach Uber accident attorneys will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
Causes of Uber Accidents
Just like with other car accidents, Uber accidents can result from a range of causes or contributing factors. Furthermore, an Uber driver can only be held liable if you can prove that he or she was negligent. The following are some of the causes that might be grounds for a lawsuit against an Uber driver:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Failure to observe a traffic signal or sign
- Improper turns
- Driver fatigue
- Intoxicated driving
- Distracted driving
- Poor vehicle maintenance
Even if you were in a West Palm Beach Uber accident, that does not always mean that the accident was the fault of the Uber driver. Another motorist could be at fault. In some cases, it might be the fault of multiple parties. In that case, you would need to rely on Florida’s contributory fault laws.
Uber Accident Damages
Having a West Palm Beach Uber accident lawyer will be important for helping you determine your damages and for putting a value on your claim. If you were in an Uber accident or any other type of car accident in West Palm Beach, you might be entitled to compensation for the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Expected future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation
- Medical equipment or supplies
- Diminished earning potential
- Pain and suffering
Understanding the value of a claim can be one of the most complex parts of a personal injury claim. Insurance companies often use this fact against injury victims that do not have representation.
At Elstein Legal, we understand the complex nature of valuing a claim and we have the expertise to perform an accurate valuation for damages after an Uber accident.
