Uber has exploded in popularity in the Metroplex. The rideshare service is perfect to get you safely home after a night out, great when your car is in the shop, or convenient if you don’t drive. Uber drivers have a serious responsibility for the safety of their passengers and others on the road. They also have more distractions than other drivers, from navigating an unfamiliar area to seeking new fares on the Uber app or trying to deal with unruly passengers, and distractions easily lead to injurious accidents. If you’ve been hurt in a rideshare accident, whether you were the other driver or a passenger, our Dallas, TX Uber accident lawyer can help you get compensation for your losses.

Uber Accident Lawyer Dallas, TX
The injuries you sustain in an Uber accident can be just as bad as those in a “regular” car accident. From spinal cord damage and bone fractures to facial lacerations from flying glass, car accident injuries hurt and can take a long time to heal. As the other driver, you may now have tens of thousands of dollars in property damage, as well. With serious injuries also comes the possibility of missing a considerable amount of work to heal and recover.
Who is going to pay to fix your wrecked car? How are you going to pay for the tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills you incurred? Uber extends a $1 million insurance coverage plan for its drivers, but only when they are actively transporting a fare. The company has a smaller insurance policy covering drivers logged in to the app but not driving someone. But, getting that full $1 million can be difficult without the help and advice of our experienced Dallas Uber accident lawyer.
Proving fault in an Uber accident is similar to proving fault in any other type of traffic collision. You must prove that the driver was negligent (which includes distracted driving, like using their phone while operating the vehicle) and that their negligence caused the wreck. Then, you and your lawyer must link the wreck to your injuries and the financial losses you sustained (medical bills, property damage, replenishing lost wages, etc.). Our firm handles all the legal matters necessary to advance your claim, and we’re committed to securing fair compensation for all your losses.
