Uber and other rideshare services have become essential services for many people in their daily lives. Uber provides a lot of convenience for users and income prospects for entrepreneurial-minded drivers. Uber also provides several other delivery services, such as food and package delivery services and even helicopter services in certain cities. Uber accident claims are complex cases since there are multiple parties involved in these types of crashes, including the Uber driver, Uber, and the Uber passenger(s). When Uber accidents or assaults transpire in these situations, obtaining compensation for those hurt is not always clear. This is precisely the reason accident victims should contact an experienced Uber accident attorney to understand the appropriate steps to take and how to maximize their economic recovery. The trial lawyers at Montlick Injury Attorneys are here to help. If you or a loved one have been hurt due to the negligent actions of someone else, call us for your Free Consultation.

Another type of legal case that our national law firm handles is incidents involving Uber drivers who are injured while working for Uber and who find themselves being denied workers' compensation benefits when Uber denies their claim or classifies them as independent contractors.
One issue that is becoming more common is private insurance companies denying injury claims that arise from Uber drivers. The accident claims are often denied because the auto accident insurance company asserts that the Uber driver's personal car is being used for commercial purposes, and this was not disclosed when the Uber driver purchased or renewed their auto accident insurance policy. This legal issue can leave injured Uber drivers, passengers, and pedestrians without the insurance coverage they need to pay for their medical bills and other damages.
Workers' compensation law, rideshare service coverages and responsibilities, and insurance law are complicated. If you are an Uber driver who was injured in any type of accident caused by someone else's negligence, call Montlick Injury Attorneys today for your free consultation and speak to one of our qualified Uber accident attorneys who can advise you on your situation.
One additional serious legal issue concerning rideshare services is that some rideshare companies do not provide auto accident insurance coverage for their drivers. Moreover, private insurance companies will try to avoid paying on auto accident injury claims when their policyholder fails to disclose that they would be using their personal vehicle as a rideshare or delivery service.
While Uber drivers should buy the proper business auto insurance coverage, most Uber drivers fail to purchase this type of auto collision insurance coverage, putting themselves, their passengers, and pedestrians at risk. Auto insurance coverage issues like these often pose significant legal and financial hardships when victims are hurt or killed in accidents involving rideshare drivers, especially when there is no auto accident insurance coverage to pay the accident victims' claims.
If you or a member of your family has been harmed in an Uber accident, our experienced Uber Accident attorneys are here to help. We fight hard and work hard to recover the maximum financial compensation possible under state law.

Uber is the largest and fastest-growing rideshare business in the United States. Uber's rideshare service allows users to download its app and "order" an Uber driver on demand. Uber passengers may also choose the type of motor vehicle and review a driver's rating before accepting the ride. Uber drivers typically use their own personal motor vehicles to pick up passengers. As ridesharing services grow in popularity, new legal issues involving workers' compensation issues, insurance gaps, and low insurance coverage limits will arise. Some passengers involved in crashes while riding in Uber driver vehicles may be at risk of not being sufficiently compensated for their injuries, lost wages, medical bills, and other compensatory damages.
In one Uber wrongful death case, an Uber driver hit three pedestrians, sadly killing a six-year-old child. Uber allegedly tried to avoid paying claims explaining that it was not liable for the fatal accident since the Uber driver did not have an Uber customer in the car at the time of the collision, although the Uber driver was using the Uber app at the time of the crash and the driver was waiting to be dispatched to a job. The victim's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit asserting that Uber ignored the driver's prior reckless driving conviction. There are many other facts and circumstances that can be presented to the court that make Uber a party to an accident case.
This Uber accident case shows the troubling legal issues that surround rideshare company liability and insurance coverage matters. Moreover, rideshare apps' terms of service often require rideshare passengers to agree that they will not file a lawsuit against the company in the event of a collision during the ride. In another Uber crash with injuries, the passenger who was injured sought monetary compensation for medical expenses from Uber, and Uber's auto accident insurance company denied the claim because the rider agreed not to file suit against Uber, and the driver was held solely responsible.

After you or your loved one have been harmed in a traffic accident or assault, it is essential that you follow these important steps. In some situations, a victim might not be able to follow these steps due to their medical condition. The most critical action victims should take is to seek medical attention immediately following the incident to treat and document their injuries.
The following actions can help you protect your valuable legal rights:
Uber is a recent and revolutionary business concept that matches people who want to earn income using their privately-owned vehicles.
Although Uber has greatly benefited society, rideshare services have also created several legal issues. For example, some Uber drivers are a danger to other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and their passengers.
One noteworthy concern with Uber rideshare services is that Uber has a history of sloppy criminal background checks on its drivers, potentially putting passengers in danger. Contrarily, Uber's apps does not require background checks on its riders, potentially placing Uber drivers in danger. Moreover, Uber do not require any specialized driver training.
It is essential to identify these potential drawbacks before using Uber or other rideshare services.
