If you are an Uber driver, the best time to find an Uber accident lawyer could be before you have an accident. That way, if you wreck the car or something else happens, you’ll know exactly what to do. Plus, you will know who to call and when.
When an accident happens, it is an emotional time. You might think there is no need for an attorney if you have insurance. The fact is, each accident is unique, and there are considerations you probably will not think of during or after your Uber accident.
So, the best thing to do when there is an accident is to contact a personal injury attorney that specializes in getting maximum compensation for injuries while driving for Uber.
That said, there are different circumstances surrounding accidents. Some require an attorney’s help, and some do not. You will only know the difference if you ask an experienced lawyer.
Do You Need a Lawyer?
Since Uber provides insurance, you might not need an attorney in a minor accident. This is especially true if you fully recover from injuries and insurance covers all your costs.
In that case, an Uber accident lawyer will not likely get you much more in damages.
But here’s the tricky part: You might think you’ve recovered, and the accident was minor, but what if that minor injury has an unexpected, lasting effect?
You will not necessarily know the extent of your injuries. You want an attorney on your side should you have difficulty down the road.
“Even with minor injuries, consult an attorney. Initial consultations are often free.”
So, even though you believe your accident was minor, and you suffered small injuries, you still might benefit from talking to an attorney. After all, most initial consultations are free, so you have nothing to lose by speaking with one.
Attorneys have the industry knowledge to guide you with helpful advice tailored to your situation.
Speak with a Lawyer in These Scenarios
Although it is difficult to tell if you need an Uber accident lawyer when the accident is minor, there are times when calling an attorney is the obvious choice.
An injury that may lead to long-term hospitalization
Expensive treatment not covered by insurance
Missed work
When there is a disagreement about the seriousness of your injury
Although this is not an extensive list, the instances here might seem obvious. However, there are times when the choice is not so black and white.
Here is a rule to remember: If you question whether or not you need an attorney, then get one.
Choose the Lawyer Who Fits Your Needs
“These attorneys help Uber drivers get compensation and navigate the post-accident process.“
All attorneys go through similar classes and take the same bar exam, but it is their experience that sets them apart. As an Uber driver, if you have an accident and have sustained injuries, you want an Uber accident lawyer.
These attorneys have experience helping Uber drivers get the compensation they deserve. They evaluate each case for cause, and they know how to guide you through the post-accident process.
Even if you are not certain if you need a lawyer, an Uber accident attorney can answer that question for you at little or no cost.
