$615K Awarded for Rear End Collision as an Uber Passenger

Our client was a backseat passenger in a rideshare car. The car was traveling southbound in the #2 lane of Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles, California. Suddenly, the defendant’s vehicle, which was traveling directly behind the Uber’s vehicle, struck the rear of the car in which our client was riding. The severity of this LA Uber car crash collision caused immediate serious injuries to our defendant, who quickly contacted our accident lawyers.

Despite being restrained in the back seat, our client hit their head and began vomiting immediately after the accident. Although the rear-end crash involved significant injuries, our client’s LA Uber driver did not want to call the police.

Due to the severity of the head injuries, our client sought medical attention. The LAFD visually examined our client, observed head swelling, and documented their neck pain symptoms. Then, they applied a C-collar and took them to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center without incident.

At the emergency room, the doctor performed a physical examination that revealed neck pain and mild left hemiparesis. Following a CT scan of our client’s spine, the results revealed multiple injuries from the accident.

The California Uber accident lawyers at Adamson Ahdoot recovered $615K for the injuries and emotional damages suffered by the victim after the incident.
