Secaucus Uber Accident Lawyer

Some years back, a 6-year-old girl was killed in an Uber accident in San Francisco. The incident served to highlight the lack of clear rules on who should be held liable for a rideshare accident, leading to the 2017 insurance law implementation.

Have you been injured in an Uber accident? Anthony Carbone, an experienced Secaucus Uber Accident Lawyer, is ready to defend your rights passionately and aggressively until you get the compensation you deserve for your losses.

 

Common Uber Accident Injuries

While your body is designed to endure reasonable trauma, the impact of an auto collision can jar and injure you in more ways than one. These injuries will often require treatment and some time off work for recovery, and in some cases, could be permanent or fatal.

Common Uber accident injuries we see at the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone include:

  • Head or brain injuries
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Neck or shoulder injuries
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Back injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
  • Burns
  • Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
  • Amputations
  • Internal bleeding
  • Internal organ damage

Because of the adrenaline and shock that follows an accident, you may not experience any pain or symptoms after your accident. It is crucial that you still see a doctor as soon as possible for a professional assessment. Doing so will protect your chances of recovery, both health-wise and financially, as any delays can be construed as a sign that you were not injured in the accident.

 

Uber’s $1 Million Insurance Policy

Uber has a $1 million insurance policy for its drivers that applies in some instances, such as when the Uber app is on, or a driver is carrying a passenger. The coverage works in the following ways:

  • Unavailable driver – Uber does not cover a driver if their Uber app is off, they are unavailable to accept passengers, or are using the vehicle to run personal errands. Here, the driver’s policy covers any damages in the event of an accident.
  • Available driver without a passenger – If the Uber app is on, and the driver is available to accept passengers, their policy is the primary coverage. Uber may provide additional coverage of $50,000 bodily injury per injury to a maximum of $100,000 per accident.
  • Available driver with a passenger – The $1 million Uber policy covers a driver who is transporting a passenger.
  • Uninsured/underinsured driver – When an insured driver causes an accident, Uber provides a $1 million UIM coverage.

There is no guarantee that Uber will accept and process your injury claim. If you wish to ensure your rights are protected at all times, hire a Secaucus Uber Accident Lawyer to represent you.
