Uber Claims

If you have suffered in an accident due to the negligence of an Uber driver, you can claim compensation. After an accident, you will have to file a claim with the Uber Claims Department that the accident happened due to the recklessness of their driver.

The initial claim starts the negotiation process, but it will be the first for getting your compensation amount for your injuries. Uber offers a huge amount to compensate the losses of affected drivers in an uber crash. In case of an accident, you can maximize your compensation amount by contacting Rileys Solicitors.

Gathering Information for The Accident Report

Before filling an accident report with Uber, follow the steps below to assist your claim:

1. Get Medical Assistance

After an accident, your or your loved ones’ health should be your number one priority. You should immediately seek medical assistance whether you have minor fractures or severe injuries. In this way, you can document all your injuries that will help prove your claim.

2. Document All Information

You should document all necessary information related to the accident for an Uber claim. The information includes names, phone numbers, addresses, license numbers, vehicle registration numbers, etc. Plus, you should take pictures of all vehicles involved in the accident from different angles. Make sure that the images of the damaged vehicle are clear.

3. Collect Witness Data

Don’t forget to collect the witnesses to the uber accident. You should immediately ask some witnesses for their names and contact information.

Missing any of the aforementioned steps might create difficulty for you to win the case.

Request Trip Verification

In an event of an uber accident, your claim depends on whether the uber driver was logged into the Uber app or not during the accident. If the Uber driver was logged into the app, did he/ she accepted the ride as well? If so, you can claim compensation.

When drivers aren’t logged onto the Uber app, they aren’t “Uber drivers”. In such situations, they are normal drivers and you won’t make any uber claim. However, when they are logged in to the Uber app during the accident, you can make an uber claim. You can get up to $50,000 for bodily injury.

Similarly, if they accept a ride and after that, an accident happens, the compensation rate can go up to $1 million. Uber requests you the information below:

• Your and uber driver’s name
• Your phone number and email address
• The date and location of the accident
• A complete description of the accident

Contact The Uber Claim Department For Making A Claim

You can contact or reach out to Uber Claim Department after submitting your trip verification information. They will ask you to fill out some forms and you will have to submit some necessary accident-related details.

Don’t forget to keep copies of those forms for your own record. You can contact companies via email or phone to make the claim. However, it’s better to hire a professional solicitor to file a claim. Otherwise, it will be tremendously difficult for you to win the case.
