Injured in an Uber Accident? We’ll Help You Navigate the Complexities and Secure the Compensation You Deserve.
Whether you were an Uber passenger, a pedestrian, or driving your own vehicle, getting injured in a rideshare accident raises immediate questions, like who is at fault, whose insurance applies, and how do you claim a billion-dollar company like Uber? The process is rarely straightforward, especially when multiple parties and policies are involved.
Golden State Lawyers represents individuals across San Jose and the Bay Area who’ve been hurt in collisions involving Uber vehicles. We resolve your claim quickly, clearly, and with maximum financial recovery, so you don’t have to battle corporate insurance adjusters alone.
Specialized Legal Attention to Uber Accidents
Uber drivers are independent contractors using personal vehicles, but Uber provides supplemental insurance depending on the trip status. That means the moment your crash occurs, and what the driver was doing at the time, can drastically affect your compensation.
Risks and Case Scenarios We Handle:
- Uber Driver Hits Your Vehicle: You suffer injuries, but fault and insurance responsibilities are disputed.
- You’re an Uber Passenger in a Crash: Another vehicle causes the collision, or your Uber driver is at fault.
- Uber Driver Was Between Trips: Insurance may shift between personal and commercial coverage, causing claim delays.
- Pedestrian or Cyclist Struck by Uber Vehicle: You're left with injuries, and Uber’s policy may or may not apply.
- Driver’s App Activity is Disputed: Without legal intervention, you may not get access to key trip status data.
- Multiple Claimants in Same Crash: Uber’s policy limits are shared, reducing the payout if you're not represented.
In every scenario, Uber’s involvement complicates the insurance structure. These claims require fast evidence collection and aggressive negotiation to secure a fair settlement.
How Golden State Lawyers Manages Uber Injury Claims from Start to Finish
We know how to build, present, and resolve rideshare-related injury claims because we’ve handled them at every level. Our team takes control of the process and keeps you informed at every stage.
Trip Status Investigation
We determine the precise moment of the crash and whether the Uber driver was active, en route, or completing a ride. This process dictates insurance eligibility.
Claim Structuring
Our team files direct claims with Uber’s third-party administrators and the driver’s personal carrier where appropriate.
Accessing Digital Platform Evidence
We request electronic records from Uber, including app activity, ride timestamps, and communication logs to support your case.
No Fee Unless We Recover
You don’t pay anything upfront. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. Every consultation is completely free.
Medical Record Coordination
We prove the full extent of your losses by compiling all diagnostic reports, hospital documentation, and injury assessments.
Negotiating Multi-Party Liability
We work with insurers, including Uber, the other driver, and sometimes even third parties, to ensure that every aspect of your compensation is covered.
Guiding Reliable Eligibility for an Uber Injury Claim
If your injuries were caused by an Uber ride, as a passenger, pedestrian, or driver, you may qualify for compensation under commercial insurance. However, Uber’s policy doesn’t automatically apply in every case. Golden State Lawyers can help determine eligibility and guide you through the process.
File an Uber Injury Claim if:
- You were a passenger in an Uber ride during the time of the crash
- You were struck by an Uber vehicle as a pedestrian, cyclist, or driver
- You were injured while driving for Uber with the app turned on
- The Uber driver was at fault or partially responsible for the crash
- You were involved in a hit-and-run and later found the other driver was operating as an Uber
- Your claim was delayed or denied by the insurer due to trip status or unclear fault
Even if you’re unsure of the app status or insurance situation, our attorneys can investigate and determine where your claim stands and who is financially responsible.
You deserve full compensation, not confusion and delays. Let Golden State Lawyers identify the responsible party and take over negotiations.
