Begin Your Case With a Proven Uber Accident Law Firm
Rideshare apps like Uber are now among one of the most used forms of public transportation across the world. Compared to traditional taxis, Ubers have slightly more predictable prices, are more convenient, and allow cashless payments, making them quite popular among commuters. One downside to Ubers is that, like all vehicles on the road, the risk of an automobile accident always remains. It is always wise to consult an Alexandria Uber accident lawyer if you get involved in a rideshare accident.
Fortunately, Uber passengers injured during rides can be entitled to monetary compensation from either the driver or Uber itself. Our Alexandria Uber accident lawyer at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to help you.

What You Should Do After an Alexandria Uber Accident
As with all automobile accidents, you should seek immediate medical attention after getting into an Uber accident. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you should contact the police and the paramedics or ask someone else to do so. If you’re severely injured, stay as still as possible until EMS arrives to avoid worsening your injuries.
The next step can be to collect relevant evidence from the scene. This includes the names and contacts of witnesses and pictures of the accident site. Now you can sit tight and wait for the paramedics to arrive. Once they do, you should make sure you receive emergency treatment at the scene, followed by a more comprehensive treatment program at a hospital.

Uber’s Insurance Coverage for Accident Victims
Before helping you seek compensation, we must determine who’s liable for your injuries. By examining your case, we can establish who should be responsible for the accident and any damages you may have sustained.
However, determining liability in Uber accidents can be challenging as it differs based on the situation. Drivers can be held liable, while Uber can be responsible in other cases. Generally, you could pursue legal action against the driver, Uber, or a third party based on the following circumstances:
When the Uber App Is Off
If an Uber driver is involved in a crash while the app is turned off, the company may not be held liable as the driver technically wasn’t working. In this case, the driver may have to turn to their auto insurance to pay any damages.
When the Uber App Is on and the Driver Is Waiting for a Passenger
Once the app is on and the driver is waiting for a passenger’s request, Uber can be liable for any injuries.
When the App Is on and the Driver Is Picking up or Dropping off Passengers
Any accident that occurs while the driver is using the app and going to pick up a passenger or actively transporting them can be covered by Uber.
