This is the most complete guide to Uber car accident claims and settlements online.

Here, you’ll get detailed answers to these questions such as:

  • What happens if you are in an accident with Uber?
  • How much does Uber pay for accidents?
  • How do I contact Uber after an accident?
  • Can you sue Uber for an accident?
  • Does Uber insurance cover a collision?

And many more questions.

I also explain how to calculate the settlement amount of an Uber car accident claim.

Better yet, you will see some mistakes that Uber accident victims are likely to make. These mistakes can cost Uber accident victims thousands of dollars in compensation! Don’t make these mistakes.

That’s not it.

You’ll get to see how insurance works in Uber accident claims. This includes collision coverage, property damage liability coverage, PIP, bodily injury liability (BIL), and uninsured motorist coverage.

Moreover, you’ll learn how to sue Uber. I also talk about several real lawsuits (and Uber car accident settlements).

You’ll get to hear about Uber accidents involving a one car, two cars, three cars and more. The number of cars involved can change the way that you (or your Uber injury lawyer) needs to handle the Uber claim.

I won’t stop there.

You’ll get to read about Uber rear end accidents, left turn accidents and other types of wrecks. I’ll show you how to determine who is at fault in an Uber accident.

When to Get an Attorney for a Car Accident (in 2021)

When should I hire an attorney after a car accident? If you are asking this question, you are not alone. Thousands of people ask it every month.

I’m going to tell you when to get a lawyer after a car accident. I will also reveal when you do not need one.

I’ll share with you the benefits of hiring a lawyer for your car accident claim. You will also see what to watch out for when hiring a lawyer. You’ll see what questions to ask the attorney for a car accident case.

The average cost of medical bills is increasing quickly each year. According to the IRC, claimed medical costs (and payments) relating to car accidents is growing faster than inflation.

Just look at this graph:

You don’t want to just hope that insurance company will pay for your bills. Only to find out that they later deny or delay your case. You don’t want bad credit if you can’t pay your medical bills.

Perhaps you are afraid that after paying attorney’s fees you are going to get a smaller payout. Don’t be. You’ll be happy that you hired a lawyer.

A study found that claimants with an attorney received an average total bodily injury payment of 3.5x more than those without a lawyer!

That is big news.

Source: 2014 Insurance research council study “Attorney Involvement In Auto Injury Claims”

Specifically, the study found that people with attorneys in car accidents got an average of bodily injury payment of $16,658.

Without an attorney, the average bodily injury payment was $4,699.

Take a look:

average total bodily injury payment in an auto accident with attorney was $16,658. without a lawyer it was $4,699

The $16,658 amount is before deduction of attorney’s fees and costs. However, there is another big benefit to hiring a lawyer that the study does not mention. I will talk about it in detail below.

You’ll also get to hear about 13 reasons to hire a lawyer if you are hurt in an accident caused by someone else.  However, I won’t stop there.

You’re going to see actual examples (using real settlements) of the benefits of hiring a lawyer.

First Party Insurance Benefits in an Injury Case (and Paying Back Liens)

First Party Coverage : Health Insurance, Medicare, Medicaid

If someone caused your injury, you’re typically focused on getting a big settlement.

But here’s the kicker:

What is just as important is the amount that you’ll have to pay back for any first party benefits that you’ve received for accident related injuries.

“First party” means that you are an insured or member of a plan.  You do not need to purchase first party benefits to be considered a plan member or an insured.  You may be an insured if someone else purchased an insurance or health plan in which you are covered.
