Establishing liability in Uber accident cases often hinges on the availability and quality of the data. Attorneys rely on various forms of documentation to determine fault and calculate damages.
One of the first steps in any ride-sharing app accident case is securing the police report, which provides an official account of the incident. These reports often include essential details, such as the names of involved parties, vehicle damage assessments, and initial impressions of fault. Additional things, such as photographs of the incident scene, vehicle damage, and road conditions could further substantiate a claim.
By working with an attorney, you could ensure that all critical documentation is obtained and analyzed. Legal professionals are familiar with the processes for accessing police records and could uncover additional points, such as traffic camera footage, that may not be immediately available to the public.
Uber cases differ from standard car crashes because they involve a rideshare platform with specific legal and insurance considerations. The ride’s trip data, driver logs, and app usage records could play a critical role in determining liability. For instance, these drivers are covered by a $1.5 million insurance policy when transporting passengers. They are covered up to $50,000 for the driver while no one is in the vehicle according to NJ Rev Stat § 39:5H-10 (2024).
A Cranford attorney could subpoena these records as evidence and work with the rideshare company’s insurance providers to verify policy coverage and ensure that all applicable benefits are pursued. This is particularly important in cases where the driver’s personal insurance coverage may fall short of covering the damages.
In addition, witness statements can provide crucial support for a claim. Passengers, pedestrians, or other drivers who observed the incident may offer valuable perspectives on the events leading up to the crash. Attorneys could interview witnesses to gather reliable accounts and present them effectively during negotiations or litigation.
In some cases, expert testimony may also be necessary to strengthen a claim. Accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, and financial analysts can provide detailed insights into how the crash occurred, the extent of the injuries, and the financial impact on the injured party. We often have access to a network of experts who could assist in building a comprehensive case.
