Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is liable in an Uber accident in Los Angeles?
- Liability depends on driver status: (1) App off: driver's personal insurance, (2) App on, waiting for ride: Uber's contingent coverage ($50K/$100K), (3) En route or transporting passenger: Uber's $1 million policy. Our LA Uber accident lawyers investigate driver status to maximize your recovery.
- Does Uber's $1 million policy always apply?
- Only when the driver is actively transporting passengers or en route to pick up. If the app was off or the driver was waiting for ride requests, different coverage applies. Insurance disputes are common, which is why you need an experienced LA rideshare accident attorney.
- Can I sue Uber directly for my accident injuries?
- Uber classifies drivers as independent contractors, limiting direct liability. However, you may sue Uber if they negligently hired a driver with a poor record or failed to maintain safety standards. Our Los Angeles attorneys explore all liability theories.
- What if the Uber driver was at fault for my accident?
- If the Uber driver caused the accident while transporting you or en route, Uber's $1 million liability policy applies. We file claims against both the driver and Uber's insurance to ensure maximum compensation for your LA accident injuries.
- What compensation can I recover from an Uber accident?
- You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. Serious injuries like TBI or spinal cord damage can result in settlements of $500K to over $1 million given Uber's high policy limits.
- How long do I have to file an Uber accident claim in California?
- California's statute of limitations is 2 years for personal injury. However, you should act quickly because evidence disappears and Uber's records may be difficult to obtain later. Contact our LA Uber accident lawyers immediately after your crash.
- What if I was a passenger in an Uber that crashed?
- As a passenger, you bear no fault. You can file claims against the Uber driver, any other at-fault driver, and potentially multiple insurance policies. Passengers often have the strongest claims because they cannot be blamed for the accident.
- Do I need a lawyer for an Uber accident in LA?
- Yes. Uber accidents involve complex insurance issues, corporate legal teams, and multiple liable parties. Insurance companies routinely undervalue rideshare claims. Our experienced LA Uber accident lawyers navigate these complexities to maximize your settlement.
