In a groundbreaking case that spotlights the power of persistence and thorough investigation, our experienced rideshare accident attorney, Cy, represented his client, Thilo, in a $250,000 settlement against Uber for an injury caused by negligence.

Background of the Incident

The incident took place when Thilo was exiting the Uber vehicle during the passenger drop-off. While stepping out of the car, the Uber driver, distracted by his cell phone, prematurely accelerated. The immediate acceleration caused Thilo to suffer a serious foot and ankle injury.

The Powerful Role of Evidence

When Thilo sought medical treatment, his expenses totaled about $6,000. Despite the low treatment cost, this case was about much more than seeking compensation just for past medical expenses; it was about ensuring that justice was served for the neglectful acts.

Cy was committed to ensuring that Thilo would secure a favorable outcome. This meant digging deeper and going beyond the basic facts of the case. Cy decided the key would be relentlessly pursuing evidence that proved the true severity of the situation.

During Cy’s investigation, he uncovered dashcam footage and property surveillance videos from cameras surrounding the accident scene. In this footage, there were clear demonstrations of the driver’s negligence. This evidence was a complete game changer. Cy was able to offer undeniable proof that the incident arose from the driver’s distracted and reckless behavior.

$250,000 Settlement Award

Cy’s persistence in gathering this evidence was crucial for Thilo’s push for a much larger settlement. In the end, Cy secured a strong outcome for Thilo, earning him a settlement offer of $250,000. Given the modest amount of past medical expenses, this proved to be a significant accomplishment.

This settlement serves as a precedent for how much Cy prioritizes and values commitment to his clients and seeks justice for them. Cy wanted rideshare companies to get a clear message to take more accountability for their driver’s actions in future injury cases.

The takeaways from this case highlight the importance of proper vigilance and determination in pursuing rideshare accident claims. It also underscores the importance of completing thorough investigations and securing crucial evidence to maximize recoveries in personal injury claims.
