Responsabilidad en un accidente de Uber en Los Ángeles

En California, tienes derecho a buscar una compensación justa de cualquier parte que haya contribuido a tu accidente y lesiones. Entre los posibles responsables se incluyen:

  • El conductor del vehículo de Uber
  • El conductor de otro vehículo
  • Un ciclista o peatón
  • Una agencia gubernamental (por ejemplo, si un vehículo de transporte público estuvo involucrado)

Bajo las normas de negligencia comparativa en California, la responsabilidad se distribuye entre todas las partes responsables. Es decir, puedes demandar a cualquier persona cuya negligencia o descuido haya causado tus lesiones.

Sin embargo, si el conductor de Uber es el responsable, el proceso puede ser más complicado, ya que la parte que debe compensarte dependerá de cómo estaba usando la aplicación en el momento del accidente.

A continuación, analizamos algunas situaciones posibles.

El conductor de Uber no estaba conectado a la aplicación

Si un vehículo de Uber te atropella, solo podrás reclamar compensación a la aseguradora de Uber si el conductor estaba trabajando. Si no estaba conectado a la aplicación en ese momento, Uber probablemente negará toda responsabilidad, y tendrás que dirigirte directamente al conductor o a su proveedor de seguros. También podrías presentar un reclamo a tu propia aseguradora si tienes cobertura de auto.

El conductor de Uber estaba conectado a la app, pero no había aceptado un viaje

Si el conductor estaba conectado a la app de Uber y esperando una solicitud de viaje, su seguro de responsabilidad civil será tu principal fuente de compensación. Si los daños exceden la cobertura del seguro del conductor, podrías presentar un reclamo bajo la póliza de Uber, que cubre hasta:

$25,000 en daños materiales

$50,000 por persona en lesiones corporales

$100,000 por accidente en lesiones corporales

¿Qué debo hacer después de un accidente de Uber?

Si sufriste un accidente mientras viajabas en un Uber o Lyft, seguir estos pasos puede ayudarte a proteger tu derecho a una compensación financiera:

  1. Reporta el accidente a la policía: Llama a las autoridades de inmediato. El informe policial será una pieza clave si decides presentar una demanda por lesiones personales.
  2. Informa a Uber: Podrías necesitar reclamar la póliza de $1 millón de Uber. Sin un registro oficial del accidente, la aseguradora podría negar tu reclamación.
  3. Documenta el accidente: Toma fotos del vehículo de Uber, de los otros autos involucrados y de la escena del accidente. Estas imágenes pueden ser clave para probar tu caso.
  4. Obtén información de testigos: Si hay testigos, obtén su contacto para que tu abogado pueda darles seguimiento.
  5. Busca atención médica: Incluso si no sientes dolor de inmediato, algunas lesiones, como el traumatismo craneoencefálico, pueden tardar en manifestarse.
  6. Contacta a un abogado: Un abogado experto en accidentes te ayudará a recopilar evidencia, negociar con las aseguradoras y asegurarse de que obtengas la compensación que mereces.

¿Por qué llamar a un abogado de accidentes de Uber en Los Ángeles?

Un accidente de Uber puede costarte más de lo que imaginas. Tus lesiones podrían afectarte por años, por lo que es fundamental buscar la máxima compensación por:

  • Gastos médicos
  • Salarios perdidos
  • Pérdida de ingresos futuros
  • Estrés emocional

Sin embargo, obtener una compensación justa no siempre es fácil. Múltiples partes pueden estar involucradas, incluidas el conductor, Uber, terceros negligentes y varias aseguradoras, todas intentando reducir su responsabilidad.

Un abogado de lesiones personales luchará para maximizar tu compensación y responsabilizar a todas las partes involucradas para que puedas recuperarte física, emocional y económicamente.


¿Cuándo debo presentar una demanda por un accidente de Uber en California?

Si sufriste lesiones en un accidente de Uber en California, tienes un plazo de dos años para presentar un reclamo. Si no lo haces dentro de este tiempo, perderás tu derecho a recibir una compensación.

Las aseguradoras podrían tratar de pagarte menos de lo que mereces o incluso negar tu reclamo sin justificación. Cuando llames a un abogado especializado en accidentes de Uber en nuestro bufete, no aceptaremos menos de lo que realmente vale tu caso.

What should I do first after being involved in an accident?

After you are involved in an accident, the first thing to think about is your health. It is normal to be frightened or in shock but take a deep breath and assess your injuries. Where do you feel pain? How severe is the pain? If you are on the ground, can you safely get up? If you are in a vehicle, are you able to get out of the vehicle? If not, you should probably call for immediate medical attention.

Next, consider your surroundings. Where did the accident happen? How did it happen? What caused the accident? Are there any witnesses near the area? Whether you believe the accident was your fault or not, never admit fault to anyone at the scene. The more documentation you have regarding the accident the better. Take photographs and/or video of the scene, have anybody you are with do the same. Even if don’t feel injured, you never know what you may feel like in the coming hours or days so don’t just act like nothing happened. If you are at a place of business, ask for a manager and insist on completing a report. If you had a motor vehicle accident, call the police and make a report.

Then contact an attorney to consult with about your accident. Attorneys such as those at Moaddel Kremer LLP who specialize in the field of personal injury will discuss your case with you and help you decide if you should file a personal injury claim.

There are many different aspects to consider when determining whether you have a good personal injury claim. In order to recover for your injuries, you must be able to prove that someone else was at fault for your accident. The other person (or entity) must have either been negligent, reckless or committed an intentional act in causing the accident. For instance, if the other driver in a motor vehicle accident rear-ended your vehicle, it is highly likely that the other driver will found to be negligent. If someone hit you inside a bar without provocation, that is an intentional act for which a lawsuit for assault and battery can be brought. If the accident was only partially your fault and partially the fault of another, you can still make a personal injury claim based on the percentage for which the other party was at fault. You can expect that the other party will do their best to minimize their responsibility no matter the circumstances.

An experienced and skillful attorney can help you identify the potentially responsible parties that may not be clear to the average person. For example, the entity or entities responsible for a dangerous road or sidewalk may require research that is not always easily accessible for the public. Sometimes it takes the analysis of experts in the field to determine whether the manufacture or design of certain products should be held responsible when the product fails. It takes the collaboration of both attorney and client to fully understand the potential claim.

After you believe you can prove someone else was at fault, the next step is to prove the accident caused your damages. You can recover for both physical injury and emotional distress in the past and future. You can also recover for time that you missed from work or if you are unable to work in the future as a result of the accident. This is where the importance of seeking immediate medical treatment comes in. If you delay in obtaining medical treatment, the other party will argue that you could not really have been injured. The sooner you receive treatment, the easier it will be to get compensation. Moaddel Kremer has connections with doctors that will see you immediately and evaluate your injuries. Even if you do not have medical insurance, you can receive treatment on a lien basis where you do not have to pay anything for your treatment upfront.

Once attorney and client make the decision to go forward with the claim, the next step is to contact the responsible parties. The attorney will normally send a letter of representation to the other party involved and/or their insurance company to put them on notice of the claim. The attorney can then communicate with the other party on the client’s behalf and allow the client to focus on recovering from their injuries. The attorney will gather your medical records and bills to send to the responsible party to prove your damages.

The other party will start their own investigation of the incident by gathering documents and talking to potential witnesses. Your attorney will advocate your position and give them your version of events. The other party will almost always disagree with how you think the accident happened in an attempt to minimize their exposure. After being presented with the evidence supporting your claim, the other party will decide whether to make an offer or deny responsibility.

In California, there is a 2-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit. This gives the injured party 2 years from the date of the accident to go forward with the lawsuit. The lawsuit puts your claim into the court system and there are a number of rules that the parties must abide by once a lawsuit is filed. This allows the parties time during those 2 years to gather the necessary information to make a decision about how to proceed depending on what information is obtained. This also allows the client to receive the proper medical treatment, talk to witnesses and find out as much as possible about what happened.

You don’t have to wait the full 2 years but sometimes it is beneficial to not file the lawsuit immediately. Before you file the lawsuit, both sides may be motivated to negotiate to see if a settlement can be reached before going through the lawsuit process. There are instances when the insurance company would rather pay a settlement than have to fight a righteous lawsuit. Many cases resolve prior to a lawsuit being filed.

Moaddel Kremer is the first person I’ve called whenever I was in a collision and incurred personal injury. The reason is because I trust their advice and they have never misguided me and I’ve never lost a case with them. They have always stayed the course no matter how difficult the case. You can rely on them to come through for you! I highly recommend them as your go-to law firm.

I had a vehicle accident back in 2020 where I was initially placed at fault. Thankfully I hired this firm and they immediately changed the course of my case. My case settled a couple months later and I received great results. Through the years I have referred family and friends to Carl Kremer and his team and they have also had positive results.
