Compensation You Can Receive After An Uber Accident
The amount of damages you receive will depend largely on the extent of the damages you sustained and the seriousness of your injuries, along with other factors. It is important to work with an experienced Uber and Lyft accident attorney in Atlanta who can help you determine the full extent of your injuries and losses so that you can be sure you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.
After an Uber accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are tangible financial losses that can be easily measured. These losses may include costs for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and more.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are intangible losses that are subjective and not easily quantifiable. These losses may include compensation for things such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and more.
In some rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded. Punitive damages are intended to punish the wrong-doer and deter them or others from acting similarly. Typically these damages are awarded when the defendant acted particularly recklessly or with malicious intent.
Establishing Liability in an Uber Accident in Atlanta
Establishing liability after an Uber accident can be difficult and requires a comprehensive understanding of the laws surrounding rideshare services. Who is found liable will depend on the driver’s actions, the other parties’ behavior, and any issues that may arise with the Uber app and accident insurance coverage. This is why it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side who can conduct a thorough investigation and collect evidence such as witness statements, accident reports, and electronic data that proves who is liable and strengthens your claim.
How Uber Accident Insurance Applies
Uber accident insurance has three tiers, depending on the driver’s status in the app at the time of the accident.
- Driver is offline: If the Uber driver is not logged into the app at the time of the accident their personal insurance will provide coverage.
- Driver is online and available for a ride request: Uber’s third-party liability insurance provides the following coverage
– $50,000/person and $100,000/accident for injuries
– $25,000/accident in property damage - Driver is on a trip or en route to pick up a rider(s): Uber’s insurance will provide the following coverage
– up to $1,000,000 for property damage and injuries to riders and third parties when the driver is at fault
It is important to work with an experienced Atlanta rideshare accident attorney who can help you navigate negotiations with the driver’s insurance or Uber’s insurance to ensure you are treated fairly and your rights are upheld.
