Two options to sue Uber

Consumer arbitration is an opportunity to take legal action with the help of an officially-designated, independent dispute process. Nevertheless, it’s not a court and won’t require showing up in person. It’s an ideal option for a lot of people.

If you want to avoid an arbitration system, use small claims court. However, it’s a long procedure that requires showing up in person and filling out legal forms.

How to prove Uber is responsible for your accident?

To get an Uber Accident lawsuit, you need to confirm the following:

  • The driver breached their duty of care.
  • The driver’s negligence caused the injuries or damages.

The average settlement for Uber accident

The average settlement for an Uber accident is $15,000. This is because most car accidents don’t result in bad injuries. A minor injury will result in a small Uber car accident settlement.

However, if you are badly injured, you can easily get more than Uber’s insurance limit. The physical injury liability limit is $50,000 per person. Nevertheless, if the Uber driver was at fault and the injured victim had surgery for his or her injury, the victim can get more than $50,000.

You will likely need to have a brain injury or any major injury to get Uber’s insurance company to pay you the $1 million limit. The death cases are often worth more than the $1 million liability limit.

Undeniable reasons to hire a Uber Accident Lawyer

It’s important to build the best possible case on your behalf. However, the process is quite intricate and requires some expertise. Speak with an experienced attorney who can walk you through it. Here are the top reasons to hire a lawyer. 

  • It’s vital to speak with a lawyer about how you feel you have been wronged by Uber. However, if you choose to sue Uber on your own, you have to pay a huge filing fee and other court costs in your local jurisdiction.
  • In addition, your case will most likely go through small claims court. When you hire a lawyer, there will be a greater probability that you won’t have to pay upfront. 
  • An experienced lawyer will advise you when you file your claims. In addition, whom you should file against to ensure you will get appropriate compensation for your Uber Accident lawsuit
