Types of Uber Accident Cases We Handle in Lawrenceville
We can help you file claims or pursue a lawsuit against multiple relevant parties in your Uber accident. We can even help you figure out who those liable parties are. Parties that may be responsible for your accident include:
- An Uber driver
- Uber
- Another motorist
Depending on the circumstances of your Uber accident, we may be able to hold third parties accountable, too. For instance, you may have a claim against a municipality responsible for addressing road hazards that contributed to your accident. Or, you may have a claim against a motorist’s employer if the accident occurred while they were on the clock, completing job duties, or in a company vehicle.
Common Causes of Uber Accidents
Another important factor in your accident is why it happened, the cause. We will investigate your case to determine all the contributing factors and identify all liable parties. Some of the most common causes of Uber accidents around Lawrenceville include:
- Distracted driving, such as texting, using the phone, or talking excessively to passengers
- Fatigued driving, which Uber drivers may do to get as many trips as possible
- Driving while intoxicated, such as tipsy, drunk, or after consuming drugs
- Speeding
- Disobeying traffic signs and signals
We can gather and review evidence like witness testimony, video footage of the accident, and more to determine how the accident occurred and who’s at fault.

Recovering Compensation in an Uber Accident Case
Uber and their insurance provider — as well as any other auto insurance company — may only consider obvious costs after an accident, like medical bills, lost income during recovery, and property damage costs for a vehicle. But there are many other damages you deserve compensation for, including:
- All medical expenses from your accident, including outstanding medical bills, reimbursing paid health insurance claims, future medical expenses for ongoing treatment, and more
- All lost income now and in the future, such as salary, wages and tips, benefits, career advancement, and changes in work status due to disability
- All property damage costs for a vehicle and property inside it that was damaged during the accident, like a cell phone, gifts, and other personal property
- Pain and suffering for physical pain, emotional anguish, and psychological damage like PTSD
- Diminished quality of life due to pain and discomfort, scarring or disfigurement, or disability
- Wrongful death benefits on behalf of the loved one you lost during the Uber accident, for whom you can receive compensation for funeral and burial costs, lost household income support, lost emotional support, and more
In general, we pursue compensation through an at-fault party’s insurance policy, such as a negligent non-Uber driver’s auto insurance policy, Uber’s auto insurance coverage for third-party accidents during an Uber ride, or a company’s liability insurance for accidents caused by employees.
If we can’t negotiate for a settlement that works for you and your family, we can also file a lawsuit against the at-fault party and their relevant insurance company to fight for compensation you deserve.
How Uber’s Insurance Policy Affects Your Potential Compensation
Whether we’re able to file a claim through Uber’s auto insurance coverage depends on when the accident happens. In general, an Uber driver must be actively using the app for Uber’s coverage to kick in. But the amount you may have access to depends on whether they were:
- Waiting for a trip or on their way to pick up a rider
- Waiting to pick up a rider or had a rider in their vehicle
Your Lawrenceville Uber accident lawyer can help you understand how Uber’s insurance policy works and whether you have a claim with their insurance.

Can I Sue Uber for My Uber Accident?
In some cases, we can file a lawsuit against Uber if they are liable for their driver’s actions. We may file a lawsuit against Uber for negligent hiring. For instance, if they failed to terminate a driver whose behavior or driving was deemed unsafe and that driver causes an accident.
Kaine Law Is Here to Help You After an Uber Accident
Per O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have two years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit against liable parties in your case. This also applies to Uber accidents. Two years may seem like a long time, but the more time a lawyer has to build your case, the better.
