Personal injury cases are typically filed after accidents, such as car collisions, motorcycle accidents or slip and fall cases. In some circumstances, the harm that led to a personal injury was intentional. Rideshare accidents account for a large segment of accidents and injuries today. If you were a victim of an accident involving a rideshare vehicle, an experienced Fontana Uber accident lawyer can examine your case and provide reliable legal advice about your options.
At Gonzales Law Offices, our Fontana personal injury lawyer can aggressively fight for your right to compensation. In a personal injury case, we can discuss how your specific case should be handled, and our attorney can explain the entire legal process of recovery to you in detail.
What Is an Uber Accident or a Rideshare Accident?
This type of accident refers to a vehicle crash involving a ride-sharing service, such as Uber or Lyft. If you were injured during a ride in an Uber or Lyft, you may be entitled to compensation.
A car accident can become complicated when multiple insurance carriers are involved, like when the accident involves a vehicle driver for a rideshare company. You might be able to recover from the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage, as well as any other available insurance coverage. An experienced Fontana Uber accident lawyer can advise you on all available coverage for your accident.

Determining fault in a rideshare accident can be more difficult than with a standard car accident because most drivers operating rideshares are independent contractors.
Also, these cases often involve multiple parties that may be responsible for causing the rideshare accident, such as:
The rideshare driver. If they were negligent, such as, if they failed to obey traffic laws, if they were speeding, or if they were otherwise distracted while operating their vehicle, they may be considered the legal cause of the accident.
Other drivers. Other vehicle drivers may be the cause of your accident, especially if they were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if they were driving on the roadways in a reckless manner.
A rideshare company. The company might be fully or partially at fault for the cause of the crash, depending on the facts of the accident.
Defective vehicle manufacturers. If a mechanical failure caused the accident (usually because of a manufacturing defect or insufficient vehicle maintenance or repairs), then a vehicle manufacturing company can be at fault.
It is essential to establish fault for any responsible party to secure maximum compensation for your sustained injuries. Then, a knowledgeable Uber accident attorney can discuss your sustained injuries and assess their impact on the value of your case.
Some Common Injuries in Fontana Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accident injuries can vary widely. Some commonly reported injuries include the following:
Head and brain injuries – Accidents can lead to concussions and serious brain injuries, which can have life-long effects on cognitive abilities, mood, and memory.
Neck and whiplash injuries – The force of a collision can result in whiplash, chronic pain, and long-lasting discomfort.
Spine and back injuries – Herniated discs and fractures of the spine and back can occur, especially with side-impact or rear-end accidents.
Broken bones – Accidents can often result in arm, leg, or rib fractures.
Soft tissue injuries – Such as torn ligaments, sprains, and strains.
Psychological injuries – Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur as a result of a rideshare accident, which can affect a victim long after their individual physical injuries have resolved.
This is not a complete list, and you may experience other serious injuries or, in tragic cases, wrongful death as a result of a rideshare vehicle accident. Even if your injuries feel like they are not serious at first, it is important to get checked out by a medical professional since many injuries can get worse over time. Medical records showing comprehensive, immediate medical care after an accident can help strengthen your claim for compensation for your rideshare accident injuries.

How Much Do People Usually Get from Uber from a Rideshare Accident in Fontana, CA?
The amount people usually get from an Uber for a rideshare accident in Fontana usually depends on whether they work with an attorney, how familiar their chosen attorney is with rideshare accidents, the determination of fault, the injury severity, and other fact-specific factors. A fair settlement package should adequately cover all the losses you have suffered.
What Steps Should I Take if I Have Been in a Rideshare Accident?
If you have been in a rideshare accident, it is important to seek immediate medical attention, report the accident to the police, collect relevant evidence at the accident scene, contact the rideshare company about the accident, and consider contacting a personal injury attorney.
A rideshare attorney can step in and communicate with the rideshare company on your behalf, as you want to avoid making any statements that can be used against you.
How Do I Claim Against an Uber Driver?
If you have been the victim of an accident involving an Uber driver, you can typically bring a claim against an Uber driver (or the driver of any rideshare vehicle) by contacting an experienced rideshare attorney to discuss your claim. An attorney who has successfully resolved these types of cases for prior clients can use that knowledge to champion your case.
If you need help claiming against an Uber driver, contact Gonzales Law Offices right away.
Can I Handle My Own Uber Rideshare Accident Case in Fontana?
While technically you could handle your own Uber rideshare accident case, it is not recommended. A seasoned attorney can provide extensive legal experience to help you navigate these complex cases (since multiple parties may be involved), and they can help you get the highest possible recovery for your injuries and damages, which likely would be less if you attempt to handle the case alone.

Robert R.
Mark helped me recover all my expenses due to my car accident. The insurance company tried to slow the process and doubted that I was even injured. Mark fought for me and gave me peace of mind. I felt like I had an army on my side since his staff worked tirelessly for me. They got the insurance company off my back and helped me get back on my feet faster than I expected.
April F.
Mark did a fantastic job for me when I slipped in a restaurant. I owner had the nerve to claim it was my heels, when clearly the floor was damaged and caused me to fall. He tried to make himself look like the victim of a scam. Mark put an end to that real fast. He took control of everything for me. He helped me get my medical costs paid as well as compensation for the lost time at work.
