Uber Accident Lawyer Winchester, NV
Uber accidents can often involve multiple parties, which makes determining liability an issue. Depending on the situation, the liable party can include the driver, another driver, the driver’s auto insurance policy, or Uber’s insurance coverage. The law requires Uber to provide varying levels of coverage that depend on whether the driver was logged into the app at the time of the accident. Whether the driver was logged into the app, waiting for a ride request, or actively transporting a passenger can affect how much insurance coverage is available.
While the issue of liability complicates an Uber accident case, most of the case shares the same similarities with other automobile accidents. Causes can range from distracted driving, speeding or reckless driving, impaired driving, failing to obey traffic laws, and more. The fact that Winchester features many busy roads near shopping centers and is near Las Vegas further increases the chances of an accident.
Following an automobile accident of any kind, a victim can pursue compensation for various reasons. The most immediate expense includes medical bills.

Our team will also factor in pain and suffering and emotional distress into your settlement.
