Getting around LA has always been challenging for people who do not have cars—or who are worried about finding parking. Uber and other rideshare services have changed the landscape—filling a gap made by the city’s lack of sufficient public transportation. Unfortunately, with so many rides happening daily, accidents involving rideshare drivers are increasing.
If you have been involved in an Uber collision, proving your case comes down to one thing—evidence. It can make or break your claim—especially when dealing with Uber and its large team of lawyers.
At My Guy Cy, our experienced attorneys know how to handle these complex cases. Our aggressive team of legal professionals can collect evidence in your Los Angeles Uber accident case to establish liability and secure the compensation you deserve.
In any accident claim, evidence is how you prove who was at fault and the extent of your damages. Uber cases are unique because they often involve big companies trying to minimize their responsibility. Strong evidence gives you the leverage you need to hold the driver and Uber accountable.
Many types of evidence can help your case, such as:
Pictures of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and injuries are crucial. They provide visual details that can be tricky—sometimes even impossible—to capture in words. If video footage is available, it can capture the actions that led to the accident.
Our proactive attorneys and accident reconstruction specialists can also use evidence at the scene to prove how an Uber accident occurred. Skid marks, debris, and similar details can help recreate the wreck.
Traffic signals, signs, and the surrounding conditions all provide details about the wreck. These details can demonstrate whether the Uber driver followed traffic laws.
A police report can be an excellent guide to finding evidence in an LA Uber wreck case. Police reports may include:
It is important that you and your legal representative get this report as soon as possible.
Third-party eyewitness accounts can provide an unbiased perspective on the crash. Witnesses have a different perspective on the accident, so they can provide missing details and confirm a victim’s version of events. Even if you were unable to get witness names and contact information at the scene, our team of diligent legal professionals can investigate whether it is possible to track them down and record their statements.
Driver information can help reveal fault, as well. Uber has strict policies for drivers, but it does not always follow them. The driver’s history may reveal that Uber was negligent in its policies.
Plus, the driver’s information can help establish liability for an accident. Uber drivers rely on the app to accept rides and follow routes. Trip logs can show if the driver was active on the Uber platform at the time of the accident. Uber also tracks data for every ride through its app. These details can reveal the driver’s speed and location.
Evidence is essential for proving fault, but it is equally important for proving damages. In addition to showing that an accident occurred, you have to demonstrate that the accident led to injuries and damages. Damages can include financial losses like medical expenses, lost income, loss of earning capacity, and more. They can also include non-economic losses like emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.
Our attorneys can use medical records and expert witnesses to prove your injuries. The other evidence required depends on the damages that you are alleging. Proof of income and time away from work can help establish lost income, while proving pain and suffering may require testimony from a mental health professional or close friends and family. Our dedicated lawyers can work with you to determine the evidence needed to establish damages after an LA Uber crash.
After an accident, it is essential to start collecting evidence. However, it is not always possible for an injured person to do so on their own. Severe injuries and dangerous conditions can prevent victims from collecting information, and the most effective investigations typically involve a team of legal professionals working on your behalf.
