What are Common Injuries in an Uber Accident?
As an Uber driver or passenger, you can suffer a variety of injuries in an accident due to the negligence of other drivers (or other liable parties). Common injuries in Uber accidents may include:
- Broken bones. Severe impacts from collisions with other vehicles or objects can cause extreme force to be placed on the occupants, which could result in fractures or broken bones.
- Head and neck trauma. The sudden force that comes with a car crash can lead to head and neck trauma like concussions or whiplash. While whiplash is caused by forceful back-and-forth movement of the head/neck, head injuries like concussions are caused by powerful blows to your head. These types of injury is especially dangerous because symptoms don’t always appear immediately after the incident. In some cases, you can also sustain a more serious head injury, including a type of traumatic brain injury—specifically head penetrating wounds.
- Spinal cord damage. Injuries to the spine can have life-altering consequences as they often cause paralysis or loss of feeling in certain areas of the body. Uber accident victims can sustain these injuries because of the force placed upon their back or spinal cord.
- Burns. As cars catch fire following a collision, passengers involved in Uber accidents might experience severe burn wounds. You can also sustain minor burns on your face if the airbag deploys.
- Lacerations. Because of broken glass and other flying objects, a person can sustain cuts and lacerations.
- Internal organ damage. Internal organ damage is one of the most common forms of injury sustained in auto accidents, including Uber accidents, as it often goes undetected until after the victim receives medical attention. Common internal organ injuries include broken ribs, lacerations to internal organs, and traumatic brain injuries. In more severe cases, victims may suffer from internal bleeding or organ failure due to blunt force trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Questions About Your Legal Rights & Next Steps
-
I have been in an accident, what should I do?If you have been involved in an accident there are certain steps you should take to make sure you are properly compensated for your damaged property, medical bills and injuries. Always make sure to gather as much information as you can about the other party. This includes vehicle descriptions, license plate number, insurance information, and contact information. Be certain to gather the contact information for any witnesses because many people leave the scene of an accident believing the other party has accepted responsibility only to find out later that the other party is actually placing you at fault. Also take photos of the scene, damage to all vehicles involved, and the individuals involved. If there is a police officer on the scene, get his/her name, badge or I.D. number, and contact information. This information will be useful when attempting to obtain the police report. These are just a few things to keep in mind to streamline the handling of your claim. Below is a list of common most common questions we receive regarding personal injury claims.
-
I have been hurt in an accident, what do I do?First and foremost, seek medical treatment. This might include emergency care, urgent care, or a visit to your physician. It is a good idea to see a doctor in the abundance of caution because you could be injured and not know it right away. Once you are diagnosed, map out and consistently follow the physician’s plan for recovery. Remember, the main goal is to ensure that you recover from your injuries. Sometimes this requires physical therapy and or chiropractic treatment. Unfortunately, most insurance adjusters will not properly evaluate your injuries without tangible proof that you sustained and suffered from a particular injury.
-
Why should I hire an attorney, can't I just handle my claim myself?The short answer is yes, you can handle your personal injury claim yourself, but it is never a good idea. Remember, the insurance company is there to represent the best interest of their insured. This means they will sometimes try to deny liability for your property damage, minimize your medical expenses, or outright deny your claim for bodily injury compensation. Personal injury law is complex and requires an experienced professional to analyze every factor involved in your case to ensure your rights are protected. This is why it is important to hire an experienced personal injury attorney with an in depth knowledge of the law to secure the best possible outcome for you and your family.
