Las Vegas Uber Accident Attorney

Uber and other rideshare services have become popular to get around Las Vegas. They are practical, especially if you plan to drink and party all night. You do not have to risk driving while impaired.

However, Nevada experiences thousands of road accidents every year. That means there is a chance that you may experience an accident each time you get into an Uber ride.

If you or someone close to you gets into an Uber accident, contact Eric Blank Injury Attorneys for legal assistance on what to do moving forward.

You have several options for damage claims after an Uber accident. They include:

• All the expenses related to your injuries sustained from the accident
• Lost wages
• Losing the ability to work and make a livable income
• Damages because of a decline in your quality of life
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages against the driver or rideshare company

Our experienced Las Vegas Uber accident attorney can help you build your case and receive fair compensation.

After an accident, your health should be your priority. Call 911 and seek medical attention immediately. Delaying this could make your minor injuries worse. Even if everyone seems unharmed, it is best to call for emergency medical personnel.

Do not assume that the driver will call the police, and do this personally. You are required by Las Vegas law to report motor vehicle accidents with injuries, fatalities, or damages of over $750.

Additionally, you must also:

• Gather information such as all drivers’ details
• Take a video or photos of the scene
• Report the accident in the Uber app. Not reporting it could hurt your case in the future.

In the heat of the moment, you can accidentally say things you should not. Try to be calm and think about your answers to the police, insurance companies, and other drivers.

Do not accept a settlement offer before talking to an Uber accident attorney. In order to maximize your claim, you need to speak with an experienced lawyer to discuss your case and plan your strategy.

Liability for an Uber accident can be complex. Several parties are involved, and they will all blame each other. Since you are a passenger, you only need to prove that you are less than 50% at fault. That should be easy because you are not controlling the vehicle unless you distract the driver.

Nevada laws dictate that the liable parties are responsible for their shares in the accident.

Do not talk with insurance company representatives alone. It is best to have your lawyer present during a discussion or at least consult with one first.

Insurance companies will try to reduce or completely remove their liability in the case. Alternatively, they may offer you a settlement amount that does not reflect the sum you are actually entitled to.

Call Eric Blank Injury Attorneys and speak with one of our experienced team members before communicating with insurance companies.
