Uber drivers are not typical employees but are unique independent contractors hired by Uber, a publicly-traded corporation. What all this means is that when an accident happens involving an Uber driver, there can be a challenging set of legal issues to navigate. For those who have been injured due to an Uber accident, failure to properly navigate these legal issues may result in you not getting the proper compensation you deserve.
We understand the critical steps that both Uber drivers and passengers need to take following an accident and how they can best navigate the legal challenges to follow. We also know how unique problems like those that may arise around UberEats can best be settled.
At The Guardians of the Injured, we provide a legal team who knows how to take on your case and get you the compensation you deserve. Our legal professionals specialize in the unique legal issues around Uber and in bringing you real results.

Rideshare Accident Claims FAQ
While we are ready to be your advocate in your court, this is often not needed. In most cases, your Rideshare claim will not require a lengthy court process. In fact, many of these Lyft and Uber issues are settled out of court to avoid the costs and time needed to prosecute a case.
The cause of an accident is often disputed between parties, and this becomes even more complicated when insurance companies and rideshare companies like Lyft and Uber get involved. With so much compilation, it is often difficult to get the compensation that you should. When you have an experienced attorney in your corner, these hurdles become much easier to clear, and you are much more likely to receive everything that you deserve.
Suppose you are involved in a rideshare accident where any injuries or damages have occurred, especially ones that have affected you physically, emotionally, or financially. In that case, you should immediately seek legal counsel. The issue for many is that seeking the advice of a lawyer regarding issues with companies like Uber and Lyft can be very time-consuming and expensive. This is why The Guardians of the Injured offers a free case evaluation. We ensure you can get a professional option without financial risk or wasted time.
Make sure you do not speak to people other than your legal representatives about your case. Do not make any social media posts about your case.
Your unique situation can drastically change the circumstance and the eventual time to payout for your case. The severity of losses or injuries and the dollar amount involved will often be major indicators of the time a case may take. According to a national survey, it takes roughly eleven months for the average car accident case to be settled. When Uber or Lyft are involved, this time may increase or decrease depending on many factors. We will do everything we can to move our process along as quickly as possible without compromising your case’s quality.
The amount of money that can be received from a claim will depend on many factors, including insurance limits, current and future medical bills, costs of damage to your car or other property, lost wages and the long-term prospects for work, and general loss of quality of life. It will also depend on the amount of liability that Uber or Lyft may share.
Typically, after your initial case review, you can get a ballpark number based on past cases with similar circumstances. It is impossible to give a complex number without first looking at medical records, gathering statements, and weighing several relevant factors.
