# Uber Accident Attorney in Atlanta

Passengers, drivers, and other victims injured in Uber accidents are often reluctant to hire an attorney to help them seek compensation for their injuries. They fear the process of dealing with a large rideshare corporation will be too complicated to handle alone. Unfortunately, Uber accident claims can quickly become overwhelming due to layered insurance coverage and aggressive corporate legal teams.

You need assistance from someone who understands Georgia law as it applies to Uber and other rideshare companies, has years of experience with these types of collisions, and knows how to determine which insurance policy applies based on the driver's status at the time of the crash. At E. Albert Law, our contingency fee billing method ensures that you can afford our services because you will not pay us anything unless we successfully resolve your Uber accident case.

Attorney Esther Mesidor has helped recover over $2 million for injured clients. With over 10 years of experience, she brings a strategic, negotiation-driven approach to every Uber accident case, working diligently to hold negligent drivers and Uber's insurance carriers accountable.

We also represent clients injured in rideshare (https://excessfundslawyer.com/rideshare-accident-claims) accidents more broadly, victims of car (https://excessfundslawyer.com/car-accident-claims) accidents generally, and anyone harmed as a pedestrian struck by a vehicle (https://excessfundslawyer.com/pedestrian-accident-lawyer) throughout metro Atlanta.

## What Causes Uber Accidents in Atlanta?

Most Uber accidents result from a driver's careless or reckless behavior while working for or picking up passengers through the app. Understanding the common causes can help you recognize when negligence has put you at risk.

### Distracted Driving from the Uber App

Uber drivers frequently glance at their phones to accept ride requests, follow GPS navigation, or message passengers, taking their attention off the road at critical moments.

### Speeding Between Rides

Drivers paid per completed trip may feel pressure to finish rides quickly, leading to speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors that increase accident risk.

### Driver Fatigue

Many Uber drivers work long hours or drive after a full day at another job, increasing the risk of fatigue-related crashes, particularly during late night shifts.

### Impaired Driving

Despite Uber's policies against impaired driving, some drivers operate vehicles while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, putting passengers and other motorists at serious risk.

### Unfamiliarity with Routes

Drivers navigating unfamiliar areas while relying heavily on GPS may make sudden lane changes, unexpected stops, or wrong turns that lead to collisions.

### Inadequate Driver Screening

Uber's background check process has faced criticism for gaps that may allow drivers with concerning histories to continue accepting rides.

### Unsafe Pickup and Drop-off Practices

Stopping in travel lanes, blocking bike lanes, or making abrupt stops to pick up or drop off passengers frequently causes rear-end and sideswipe collisions.

### Poorly Maintained Vehicles

Personal vehicles used for Uber driving may not receive the same maintenance oversight as commercial fleets, increasing the risk of mechanical failure.

## Types of Uber Accidents

Uber accidents come in many forms depending on the driver's status at the time of the crash. Understanding the type of accident you were involved in can help determine liability and the compensation you may be entitled to.

### Passenger Injury Accidents

Passengers riding in an Uber vehicle at the time of a crash are generally covered by Uber's substantial commercial insurance policy, which can provide up to $1 million in coverage.

### Accidents While Waiting for a Ride Request

When a driver is logged into the Uber app but has not yet accepted a ride, more limited contingent liability coverage from Uber may apply.

### Accidents While En Route to Pick Up a Passenger

Once a driver accepts a ride and is heading to pick up a passenger, Uber's full commercial liability coverage typically applies to any resulting accident.

### Third-Party Collisions

Other drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists struck by an Uber vehicle may pursue claims against the driver's personal insurance, Uber's policy, or both, depending on the circumstances.

### Accidents Caused by Another Driver

When another negligent driver causes a crash involving an Uber vehicle, injured Uber passengers may need to pursue a claim against that driver's insurance.

### Hit and Run Uber Accidents

Uber provides uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that may apply if the at-fault driver flees the scene or lacks adequate insurance.

## Compensation After an Uber Accident in Atlanta

If you have been injured in an Uber accident due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for a wide range of damages. Each claim is different, but common damages include:

Medical expenses including hospitalization, surgery, prescriptions, and follow-up care

Estimated future medical treatment costs for permanent or long-term injuries

Rehabilitation costs including physical therapy and occupational therapy

Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity

Physical and emotional pain and suffering

Decreased quality of life

Loss of consortium

Property damage to personal belongings
