Even if you do not want to pursue legal action in court, an experienced lawyer can fight to protect your rights.  Most personal injury cases settle out of court.     Negotiating with the insurance company can also be very difficult if you have no prior experience.  Uber policy limits are much higher than typical insurance policies.  That means the insurance company is likely to fight much harder to avoid liability. Calling an experienced Uber accident lawyer actually decreases the likelihood that you will end up in court because I am often able to negotiate a fair settlement before trial becomes necessary.
