If you were in a car accident with an Uber driver, you may not be sure what steps to take to recover the losses you have. Uber is a vital lifeline in Spokane for many people, but by providing services here, the company and the drivers it uses must abide by the laws and provide safe service.
When they fail, and you suffer as a result, a Spokane Uber accident lawyer from Siegfried & Jensen will work for you to recover fair compensation. Our Spokane rideshare accident lawyer has decades of combined experience ready to go to work for you.
Who May Be Able to File an Uber Accident Claim
Being in an accident with an Uber driver can occur in various ways. Our lawyer can help you navigate any situation to determine fault and start the process of recovering fair compensation. Some examples of when you should turn to us include:
- You were a passenger in the Uber vehicle when the Uber driver was speeding, driving recklessly, impaired, or otherwise caused the accident.
- You were a passenger in an Uber vehicle when another car or truck struck the Uber vehicle, causing the accident.
- You were a pedestrian or bike rider who was hit by an Uber driver providing services.
- You were driving another vehicle when an Uber driver struck your vehicle.
- You were a passenger in another vehicle that was struck by an Uber driver.
In each case, our accident lawyers will work diligently to build a strong case for you and determine whom to file a claim against. We use accident reports provided by the police, Uber app logs, witness statements, and other data to determine who is at fault and, therefore, who is responsible for your losses. Expect our Spokane car accident lawyer to be thorough.

Determining Who Is Responsible in an Uber Accident
Various factors contribute to the type of legal action you can take to recover damages in a rideshare accident. First, know that Uber does not employ drivers, but rather uses independent contractors who are required to maintain their own insurance coverage. That means, if the driver causes the accident, their insurance provider may be responsible for covering your losses.
However, there are times when insurance is maintained by Uber for US rideshare drivers in the event of a claim, such as when the driver is logged into the app and has accepted a ride to provide or is in the act of providing that ride. In those situations, you may be able to file a claim against Uber directly, which amplifies the amount of available liability coverage. That is helpful in serious accidents with significant losses.
Other parties could also be responsible for your injuries and losses. Another driver, a truck company, the city’s poorly maintained roads, or other parties could also be responsible. Our Spokane Uber accident attorney will investigate what took place and then seek compensation against all parties responsible for the losses you incurred.

Determining What Your Uber Accident May Be Worth
A very common mistake people make after an accident like this is to file a claim immediately with Uber to request compensation. Uber is often quick to close out your claim, often for a fraction of what it may be worth. Instead, allow our Spokane Uber accident attorney to verify what your claim is worth by considering all factors involved, such as:
- All of your medical bills from the accident and the recovery process, as well as any future medical costs expected
- All losses related to missed time at work, including lost hours, benefits, bonuses, and time off
- Loss of earning capacity if you are unable to go back to work due to your injuries or do the same job
- Loss of quality of life, including limitations on your ability to do the things you enjoy or to care for yourself
- Ongoing healthcare and in-home support, you may now need due to disability
- Disfigurement and disability related losses
- Pain and suffering, including any ongoing complications and chronic pain you face
- Emotional trauma and mental health disorders due to the injuries and complications
