Allen Uber Accident Attorneys

Experienced Representation for Uber Accident Cases in Allen, TX

When someone books a rideshare service, they usually do so for reasons having to do with safety and/or convenience. Unfortunately, not all rideshare passengers reach their destinations safely. If this scenario is all too familiar to you because you have recently been injured in a rideshare accident while traveling as an Uber passenger, or if you have been injured by an Uber driver in a collision, it is important to understand that you have rights and that you may be entitled to compensation.

Do You Have Grounds to File an Uber Accident Lawsuit?

In many respects, Uber accident cases unfold in the same ways that other motor vehicle accident cases do. In order to be compensated, a victim must generally prove that an at-fault party owed them a duty of care, breached that duty by behaving negligently, and caused them physical harm.

How Much Compensation Are You Rightfully Owed?

Your Burress Injury Law team will help maximize the value of your damages caused by an Uber accident by fully developing each damage element. Generally speaking, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are those that are easier to calculate because they have specific monetary values. For example, you can point to the total amount you have spent on medical expenses, and you can project the cost of future medical care that will be required. Your medical costs, lost wages, lost earning potential, and other measurable financial losses will be the subject of any economic damages award to which you are entitled. However, these damages (especially when future damages will be present) can be far more complex to determine. Often, the Burress Injury Law team leverages the best economists and life care planners to maximize these damage elements for our clients.

By contrast, non-economic damages are subjective, and therefore, they can be harder to quantify. In many cases, non-economic losses caused by a rideshare accident will involve physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of parental and/or spousal consortium, loss of services, and bodily disfigurement. There is no question that this is a significant burden for any accident victim to bear. However, calculating what that loss is worth is not as easy as pointing to a medical bill. You need a qualified personal injury attorney to help you fully develop these non-economic damage elements. In fact, the Texas Supreme Court recently issued a watershed ruling on non-economic damages. Proving these types of damages so that an award is not reversed on appeal is now much more complex. The attorneys at Burress Injury Law have the knowledge and experience to help you obtain a full value recovery.
