Bothell Uber Accident Lawyer

Can you hold Uber liable for a recent collision? Under certain circumstances, yes. Our Bothell Uber accident lawyers want to help you break down:

• What negligence caused your accident
• What contracts liable parties work on
• How those contracts impact your recovery
• How you can hold Uber, its drivers, and other affiliated parties responsible for your financial losses

In that time, we’ve served over 20k clients and secured hundreds of millions of dollars. You can trust our team to take your Uber losses seriously and to stand with you throughout your recovery.

Should You Accept a Settlement From Uber After an Accident?

Uber doesn’t like to dwell on the accidents that its drivers get in. Most of the time, Uber drivers and representatives will reach out to accident victims and offer them settlements, ostensibly so all parties can move on from the stress of the accident. Unfortunately, those initial settlement offers rarely account for the real value of a victim’s losses and recovery.

With that in mind, our Bothell car accident lawyers do not recommend that Uber accident victims like you accept the initial offer you receive from Uber or its affiliates.

If you receive an offer, we instead recommend that you share that offer with an attorney. We can contrast it against the total value of your losses, including your upcoming costs.

Fortunately, turning down the first settlement offer you receive won’t bar you from receiving other offers made in the future. You can even turn an offer around and work with an attorney to open negotiations.

As long as you don’t accept that first offer, it may be easier for you to get the support you actually need to recover from your losses.

How Can You Financially Recover From an Uber Accident?

If you want help paying your bills in the wake of a collision with an Uber, our Bothell personal injury lawyers recommend that you:

File an Insurance Claim

Uber provides all of its on-duty, app-using drivers with insurance. The company also requires all of its drivers to purchase individual coverage before they can ferry passengers from one location to another.

In other words, the driver responsible for your recent collision will have insurance, meaning you can file for support in the wake of a collision.

However, it’s not always easy to hold an insurer accountable for your losses. Most insurers will argue that you played a role in your accident or that your losses aren’t as severe as you say they are.

If you want to challenge those accusations and preserve your right to a claim, we recommend working with an Uber accident attorney in Bothell when speaking with insurers.

File a Personal Injury Claim

There’s a chance that the settlement an insurer offers you won’t cover your losses. Alternatively, insurers may outright deny your request for support or get your claim stuck in limbo between multiple providers. In these cases, it may be easier for you to secure accident compensation by filing a personal injury claim.

Filing a personal injury claim doesn’t require you to go to trial to fight for Uber accident compensation. Rather, a claim gives you the right to summon a liable driver or Uber representative to settlement negotiations. If these parties further refuse to acknowledge your right to support, then you can take your fight for support to trial.

When Should You Contact a Bothell Uber Accident Lawyer?

Experienced Bothell Uber accident attorneys can offer you a wide array of services in the wake of a serious collision. We can work with you to speak with insurers, at which point we can:

• Provide the evidence needed to prove your right to compensation
• Argue for your right to comprehensive support
• Turn down insufficient offers and challenge attempts to deny your claim 

If you decide you want to pursue a personal injury claim, we can help you file your appropriate paperwork before representing you in and out of court. Most importantly, we can keep you one step ahead of Washington State’s personal injury statute of limitations. 

According to Washington law, you only have three years to file a claim against Uber or its affiliated drivers. As such, you should contact an attorney well before your statute of limitations expires. We usually recommend that survivors get in touch within a few weeks of their accident.
