Lyft Accident Attorney in Tustin, CA

If you suffered an accident in an Uber car as a passenger, you should know that these entities have third-party civil liability insurance coverage, which pays for personal injuries and property damage, although for this to be possible, one of the essential conditions is that the driver is to blame for the accident.

You should know that Uber drivers are independent self-employed, this is so that Uber declines any negligence that its drivers may commit, although there are exceptions.
Uber applies a series of requirements when choosing a driver, if mistakes have been made in that process, there may be the possibility of claiming Uber. For example, if a driver has had a history of alcoholism or a criminal record, and these factors were overlooked during the driver selection process, then we may say that Uber was negligent in allowing that driver to take rides with passengers.

If you have been injured after an accident with Uber either as a pedestrian or as a passenger, you should know that you can claim your rights. Uber accident lawyers are specialists in this type of case, providing all the relevant evidence, mediating with insurers and helping the victim to repair the damage caused.

1. Call 911 immediately.

File a police report, because it will be an important tool in the handling of your case.

2. Gather information.

Be sure to get the name, phone number, license number, and insurance information for every driver involved in the collision.

3. Collect evidence.

Take photos of the scene, any visible injuries, and the damage on each vehicle. If there are any witnesses present, write down their contact details. This could all strengthen your case.
