While any car crash can be scary, accidents involving Uber vehicles can also be confusing. If you suffered injuries, you might not know where to turn for help. You probably have some questions, such as should you pursue a claim against the Uber driver and is Uber also legally responsible for your injuries and other losses?
A seasoned rideshare accident attorney could answer your questions and guide you through the process of an injury lawsuit. We have successfully negotiated Miami Uber accident settlements and could use our skills, experience, and knowledge to fight for the settlement you need.
Unfortunately, there is no set, predetermined amount that people obtain in Uber accident settlements in Miami. Instead, the amount that an injured party recovers in a settlement depends on several factors, such as the strength of the proof of liability, the severity of the injuries, and the impact the injuries have had and will have on their life. For instance, if someone’s injuries prevent them from working again or if the accident leaves them with long-term disabilities or disfigurement, they would likely be eligible for a more substantial settlement than someone whose injuries fully healed.
To have a likelihood of success with a legal claim after suffering harm in an Uber accident, it is critical to work with an attorney who not only knows how to fight aggressively and tirelessly for justice and fair results, but also understands the medicine. Our extensive medical malpractice knowledge gives us and you an unparalleled advantage.
A person harmed in a Miami Uber collision could seek compensation in a settlement for their damages, which are their losses relating to the accident.
Economic damages represent a person’s out-of-pocket expenses relating to the Uber accident. The largest economic damage is often medical costs relating to physical and emotional injuries from an accident and can include emergency treatment, ambulance fees, X-rays and other diagnostic testing, medication, doctors’ visits, surgeries, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and mental health counseling. Economic damages can also include caregiver expenses and remodeling costs to renovate a home to make it more disability accessible, as well as incidental costs such as taxi and parking fees for hospital visits.
Economic damages also cover past and future lost income, wages, and earning expenses. If someone is unable to return to the same job and needs to pursue a lower paying job, they could seek a settlement to cover the difference. If they are permanently unable to work, they could pursue future lost earnings that they would have earned over their lifetime.
Our practiced legal team could help an injured party gather bills, pay stubs, and other evidence to prove the extent of their economic losses.
An injured party can also pursue recovery of non-economic damages, which are their more subjective losses. Economic damages can include pain and suffering, depression, anxiety, decreased enjoyment of life, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and disfigurement. These losses are harder to calculate and prove because there are no direct numbers that correlate to them. However, our seasoned legal team will use our experience to calculate a fair and reasonable figure.
A skilled local lawyer understands how to assess and provide the requisite evidence to justify damages in order to get a full recovery.
After an Uber accident, you could face a challenging recovery. As you fight to get better, you should not need to worry about how you will find the money to pay for your medical treatment and other expenses.
