Seattle Uber Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

The benefits of services like Uber completely vanish the moment you’re hurt by a rideshare driver. Fortunately, a Seattle Uber accident attorney can help you recover the compensation you’re owed for your damages.

These days, it seems you can’t go anywhere without seeing a rideshare vehicle—especially in Seattle.

But what most people don’t know is that these companies are often involved in car accidents that leave victims with serious damages. If you were involved in a crash like this, you might be wondering what your options are.

In these cases, get in touch with our team at Craig Swapp & Associates. A Seattle Uber accident lawyer at our firm can get you the compensation you deserve from the person or company responsible for your injuries.

When Is Uber Financially Responsible?

Many people believe that, because Uber drivers drive their personal vehicles, filing a claim should be essentially the same as filing a regular claim in any other type of accident. You simply file against the other driver and wait for the insurance company to cover the costs.

However, this process isn’t the same when dealing with a rideshare company. These drivers are protected by Uber’s insurance company whenever they are on the clock and transporting or picking up passengers. As a result, the company will likely become responsible for the damages you sustained.

This may seem relatively straightforward, but handling this type of claim can get tricky. Uber drivers have the ability to set their own schedule, which can make it difficult to prove whether they were actually on the clock at the time of their accident. Details may become convoluted in cases where the driver was either on the way to pick up a passenger or just coming from a ride.

Luckily, your Seattle Uber crash lawyer will know how to dissect the details of your case to determine who the liable party is, enabling you to file a successful claim for compensation.

Common Causes of Uber Accidents in Seattle

It’s important to first note that Uber accidents do happen due to normal driving mistakes, such as improper merging, failing to yield the right-of-way, and more. However, these types of accidents also happen for unique reasons.

For example, Uber drivers tend to speed more than regular drivers. This may occur for a few reasons. They may drive quickly in an attempt to get their passengers to their locations faster and, as a result, get a higher rating and a better tip. They may also do this to try to get more passengers in within a single day.

Uber drivers also have a tendency to get behind the wheel while they’re exhausted. This may occur if they feel they haven’t made enough money that day. They may push themselves past the point of safety. Your Uber accident lawyer in Seattle can help you dissect your crash to prove who was at fault.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
