Uber Accident Attorney
Las Vegas Rideshare Accident Lawyer
You were hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash, and you found the right place. Clear Counsel Law Group is a Las Vegas rideshare accident lawyer team that represents the people who get hurt: passengers, other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, never the rideshare companies or their insurers. A ride is supposed to be simple. You tap the app and get where you are going. When that ride ends in a wreck instead, we handle the claim so you can focus on healing.
A rideshare crash brings its own tangle of worries: the injuries, the lost wages, and a stack of insurance calls. The fight for payment is hard enough on its own, and a rideshare crash makes it harder, because more than one company is on the hook and each would rather the other pay. We take that fight off your hands.
Common Uber Crash Injuries
Whiplash
The sudden back-and-forth motion strains the neck and brings stiffness, headaches, and lingering pain.
Cuts and Scrapes
Lactations from broken glass or contact with the car’s interior that need care to prevent infection.
Broken Bones
Factures that range from simple breaks to ones that need surgery and months of recovery.
Head Trauma
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries that can leave lasting cognitive and neurological effects.
Spinal Injuries
Damages that can cause anything from limited mobility to temporary or permanent paralysis.
Internal injuries
The most dangerous of all, because organ damage can stay hidden for hours or days before it turns life-threatening.
Property Damage
Your phone, laptop, and other belongings destroyed in the wreck, which count toward your claim too.
Who Pays After an Uber Crash
Who pays after a rideshare crash depends on what the app was doing at the moment of the wreck. When the driver had accepted your trip and was on the way or carrying a passenger, the rideshare company’s commercial coverage applies, and Nevada requires that policy to carry at least $1.5 million for death, bodily injury, and property damage. When the app was off, the driver’s personal auto insurance is the only coverage in play. We pin down which policy applies and direct your claim to it, so you are not stuck while the driver, the company, and their insurers point fingers at each other.
Insurers know these claims are coming and scrutinize them hard for any reason to pay less or deny outright. We counter those tactics and keep you from accepting a lowball check before you know what your case is truly worth.
What is Your Case Worth
Fault and Negligence
Who was at fault comes first. If the Uber or Lyft driver was negligent, through distracted driving or breaking traffic laws, the value of your claim goes up. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can recover as long as you are 50% or less at fault, and your payment drops by your share of the blame. Past that point, you cannot recover at all.
Injury Severity
The worse the injury, the higher the claim. A sprain settles for less than a traumatic brain injury or a permanent disability, because severe injuries carry long-term costs and lasting impact that the payment has to cover.
Damages You Can Claim
After a crash you can pursue two kinds of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are the losses you can add up, including medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages cover what no receipt can capture, including pain, suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of life. We build your claim to capture both.
Why You Need a Ride Share Accident Lawyer
Hire a Nevada rideshare accident attorney first, because an Uber or Lyft crash is rarely a simple two-car wreck. The driver, the rideshare company, and their separate insurers are all in the mix, and sorting out who answers for your injuries is its own battle. The other side already has a team working to pay you as little as possible, and you should have one too.
We work with accident reconstruction experts who break down your crash and show clearly who was at fault, and medical professionals who document the full extent of your injuries. That work puts real weight behind your claim.
Money will not keep you out of this fight. Clear Counsel fronts the costs of building your case and recovers them from the settlement, so you pay nothing up front. Victims with a lawyer recover more than those who go in alone, because we know how claims are valued and how to make the other side account for everything you have lost. Call Clear Counsel Law Group at 702-476-5900 to put that team in your corner.
