If you have been hurt in a car crash involving an Uber vehicle, you can sue. Personal injury law allows you to formally seek compensation for your injuries by filing a lawsuit against the negligent driver. To have a successful claim against the auto insurance companies, you need to prove four things: The Uber driver owed you a duty of care to keep you safe or out of harm's way The Uber driver did not uphold this duty That failure caused your injuries How severe your injuries are These are the same elements of negligence in all other car accident lawsuits and personal injury cases. The only significant difference between suing someone for a typical car accident and suing an Uber driver is the working relationship between Uber and its drivers. This difference can make it difficult to receive fair compensation for your injuries.
