Rideshare collisions can feel confusing, especially when they happen in Savage. Multiple insurance layers, the driver’s app status, and Minnesota’s no-fault rules all affect who pays and when. Metro Law Offices helps people in Scott County make sense of these details so treatment and bills are addressed while your claim moves forward. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, we work to preserve evidence from the scene, the app, and the vehicles involved. From County Road 42 to Highway 13, crashes can happen anywhere. If you’re unsure where to start, we can walk you through your options and explain the steps to protect your rights after an Uber accident.
After a rideshare crash, quick action often improves outcomes. Seeking medical care documents injuries and creates a clear link to the crash. Reporting the collision within the Uber app, notifying your insurer, and saving photos, witness details, and repair estimates all help build a stronger claim. Minnesota’s deadlines apply, and coverage can change based on whether the driver was waiting for a ride, en route to a pickup, or carrying a passenger. Metro Law Offices focuses on coordinating benefits so you can focus on recovery. We answer your questions, explain insurance letters, and communicate with adjusters. Call 651-615-3322 to schedule a consultation and learn how we can help you move forward with confidence.
Rideshare claims involve overlapping policies that can be difficult to navigate alone. Early guidance helps identify every available source of coverage, including Minnesota no-fault (PIP), the driver’s policy, Uber’s contingent or primary policy, and potential UM/UIM benefits. Acting quickly also helps preserve app data, dashcam footage, and witness statements that may fade over time. With support, you can avoid common pitfalls such as recorded statements that minimize injuries or premature settlements that overlook future care. We coordinate medical billing, wage documentation, and vehicle damage records to present your losses clearly. The result is less uncertainty for you and a more organized claim that reflects what you have truly experienced.

Call 651-615-3322 to talk with us about your options and next steps.
Uber accident representation brings together Minnesota’s no-fault system and the unique coverage structure used by rideshare companies. Claim strategy often depends on the driver’s app status at the moment of the crash: off the app, on and waiting for a ride, en route to a pickup, or transporting a passenger. Each status can trigger different policy limits. We help you access PIP benefits for initial medical bills and coordinate with liability or UM/UIM coverage when appropriate. The goal is to document how the collision happened, show the full impact on your health and work, and seek fair compensation without delay.
Proving a rideshare claim involves careful evidence collection and clear communication with multiple insurers. We obtain police reports, medical records, repair estimates, and witness statements, while also preserving digital evidence tied to the trip. In many cases, disputes center on fault, causation, or the value of injuries. We work to address those issues through timely documentation, independent evaluations when necessary, and a negotiation plan grounded in Minnesota law. If settlement efforts do not reach a fair outcome, we discuss litigation options and timelines so you can make informed decisions with full visibility into risks, costs, and potential benefits.
An Uber accident claim is a demand for compensation after a collision involving a rideshare driver, whether you were a passenger, another driver, a pedestrian, or a cyclist. In Minnesota, your own no-fault (PIP) benefits typically provide early medical coverage regardless of fault. Depending on the driver’s app status, additional coverage may come from the driver’s policy, Uber’s contingent policy, or Uber’s primary liability policy that can reach up to higher limits when a trip is active. The claim aims to recover medical costs, lost income, and pain-related losses, along with property damage, using documentation that ties your injuries to the crash.
Successful rideshare claims focus on four essentials: liability, coverage, damages, and timelines. Liability examines how and why the crash occurred. Coverage analysis confirms which policies apply based on app status and vehicle use. Damages include medical bills, wage loss, and the human impact of injuries, supported by records and consistent treatment. Timelines ensure notifications, filings, and negotiations proceed within Minnesota law. We gather evidence early, map available insurance, and prepare a clear presentation of your losses. When insurers dispute responsibility or value, we respond with fact-based documentation and continue to advocate for a result that reflects your recovery needs.
Understanding a few common terms can make your Uber claim feel more manageable. Minnesota no-fault, commonly called PIP, often pays the first layer of medical expenses and certain wage losses. App status determines whether Uber’s contingent or primary coverage applies. When the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance, UM/UIM may help cover the gap. Liability limits describe the maximum an insurer may pay under a policy. These concepts work together to form your recovery path. We explain how each applies to your case and coordinate benefits in the order that best supports your treatment and financial stability.
No-fault, or Personal Injury Protection (PIP), is Minnesota’s first layer of coverage for people injured in motor vehicle crashes, including rideshare collisions. Regardless of who caused the accident, PIP can help pay for initial medical treatment and a portion of lost income, subject to policy limits. It is designed to get care started quickly without waiting for liability decisions. Using PIP does not prevent you from pursuing additional compensation from at-fault parties or other applicable policies. We help you open the PIP claim, understand covered expenses, avoid billing gaps, and coordinate benefits so your recovery remains the priority.
Contingent liability coverage may apply when an Uber driver is logged into the app and waiting for a ride but not actively transporting a passenger. In that status, the driver’s personal auto policy is primary, and Uber’s contingent policy may step in if the personal policy denies or does not fully cover the loss. Coverage limits are typically lower in this stage than when a trip is active. Determining whether contingent coverage applies requires evidence of app status and timing. We work to confirm these details early, so the correct insurer is notified and your claim proceeds without unnecessary delay.
An Uber driver’s app status at the moment of the crash often dictates which policy responds. If the app is off, the driver’s personal auto insurance generally applies. If the app is on and the driver is waiting for a ride, contingent coverage may be available. If en route to a pickup or transporting a passenger, Uber’s primary liability policy with higher limits may apply. Confirming status requires trip records, timestamps, and sometimes the driver’s account data. We seek this information promptly, align notifications to the correct carriers, and structure your claim around the coverage actually in play.
UM/UIM coverage helps when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little to cover your losses. In rideshare cases, UM/UIM can come from your own policy and, in certain trip stages, from Uber’s policy as well. It may address medical costs, wage loss, and other damages not fully paid by liability coverage. Using UM/UIM requires careful coordination to avoid duplicate payments and to meet notice and proof requirements under Minnesota law. We analyze available UM/UIM early, preserve your rights with timely notices, and pursue all applicable coverage so the final recovery reflects the full scope of your harm.
Some cases resolve with limited assistance, such as advice on filing a PIP claim or reviewing a property damage offer. Others benefit from full representation to manage disputed liability, complex medical issues, or overlapping policies. Limited help can be cost-effective for straightforward matters but may overlook avenues of recovery or future treatment needs. Full representation provides a coordinated plan: evidence gathering, coverage mapping, valuation, negotiation, and, if needed, litigation. We help you choose the right level of support for your situation, with clear communication about fees, timelines, and what to expect at each stage of the process.
If fault is undisputed, medical care is brief, and symptoms resolve quickly, a limited approach may be enough. In these situations, guidance often focuses on using PIP correctly, providing records to the appropriate insurer, and confirming a fair property damage payment. You still need to document everything: medical visits, time missed from work, and out-of-pocket costs. Before accepting any offer, make sure treatment is complete and no lingering issues remain. We can review your documentation, flag gaps, and help you evaluate whether the settlement reflects your experience without committing you to a more involved process than you need.
When injuries are minimal and the primary dispute involves vehicle repairs or a short course of treatment, targeted help can streamline resolution. We can assist with communicating repair estimates, rental needs, and diminished value concerns, while ensuring your PIP claim is properly opened and processed. Even in simpler cases, it helps to verify which policy is responsible based on app status and to avoid quick statements that undervalue your claim. If new symptoms arise or bills grow, we can pivot to a more comprehensive plan. The aim is to solve the problem efficiently while protecting your long-term interests.
Rideshare cases often involve several carriers: your PIP insurer, the Uber driver’s policy, Uber’s contingent or primary policy, and sometimes UM/UIM. When fault is contested, evidence conflicts, or carriers shift responsibility, comprehensive representation helps align the facts, preserve trip data, and manage parallel claims. We coordinate statements, schedule inspections, and assemble records to present a consistent picture of what happened and why coverage applies. This approach reduces the risk of missed deadlines, inconsistent statements, or incomplete documentation. It also positions your claim for a more accurate evaluation of injuries, wage loss, and long-term effects on your daily life.
When injuries require extended care, surgery, therapy, or time away from work, a full plan helps capture the true scope of your losses. We track medical progress, ensure providers submit bills correctly, and obtain opinions that explain prognosis and future care needs. This documentation supports claims for both economic and non-economic harm. We also coordinate wage information with employers and verify benefits such as short-term disability, if applicable. With a comprehensive approach, you avoid premature settlements that fail to account for future treatment, complications, or lingering symptoms, and you gain a clearer path toward a resolution that reflects your recovery.
A comprehensive approach brings structure to a complex process. We begin by organizing the facts of the crash, medical care, and financial impact, then map every applicable policy. This allows us to prioritize early benefits like PIP while preserving claims against at-fault parties and available UM/UIM. Comprehensive planning also helps avoid surprises: we anticipate defenses, track deadlines, and prepare records that answer common insurer questions before they arise. With everything documented and coordinated, your claim can proceed more smoothly, and negotiations reflect a complete, verified picture of your losses and future needs.
When your case is well-documented, you gain leverage at negotiation. Adjusters rely on records, timelines, and consistent narratives to evaluate claims. A comprehensive file reduces gaps, resolves confusion about coverage, and connects your injuries to the collision with clarity. It also shortens the back-and-forth that can delay fair outcomes. If settlement talks stall, a complete record supports the next steps, including filing suit when appropriate. Whether your case resolves early or requires extended effort, a thorough approach safeguards your options and helps you move forward with confidence in the process and the result.
Coordinating multiple coverage layers can prevent claim denials and reduce delays. We confirm app status, notify all appropriate carriers, and sequence benefits to minimize out-of-pocket costs. This includes timely PIP submissions, property damage claims, and liability presentations with complete medical and wage documentation. When UM/UIM may apply, we file protective notices and avoid conflicts between policies. Coordination also means consistent communications: one clear story of how the crash happened, supported by evidence and medical records. The result is fewer administrative headaches for you and a stronger, more organized claim file for the carriers evaluating your losses.
Insurers value thorough documentation and credible timelines. A comprehensive claim includes medical narratives, billing summaries, wage proof, and clear evidence of liability. By addressing issues before they become disputes, we reduce opportunities for low valuations based on missing or inconsistent information. When adjusters see a well-supported demand, negotiations often focus on fair value rather than basic facts. If litigation becomes necessary, a complete file shortens preparation time and presents a compelling picture of your injuries and future needs. This foundation improves your chances of a timely, fair resolution that reflects the real impact of the crash.
Coverage often hinges on whether the Uber driver was off the app, waiting for a ride, en route, or transporting a passenger. Take screenshots of your trip receipt, the driver’s name and license plate, and any in-app messages. Save photos of the scene, vehicles, and your injuries. Collect witness names and contact information, and note nearby businesses that may have cameras. Report the crash in the Uber app and to law enforcement. These steps help confirm the driver’s status at the exact time of the collision, which can unlock the correct policy and support a smoother path to compensation.
Insurance representatives may ask for recorded statements or suggest early settlements before your treatment is complete. While cooperation is required for certain benefits, you are allowed to ask questions, review paperwork, and seek guidance before agreeing to anything. Politely avoid speculating about injuries or recovery time. Instead, focus on facts: what happened, what hurts, and what care you are receiving. If an offer arrives quickly, make sure it covers all medical bills, wage loss, and future care. We can review proposed terms, explain implications, and help you decide whether to accept, negotiate, or continue building your claim.
Rideshare claims bring a unique mix of no-fault benefits, potential liability coverage, and UM/UIM issues that can be difficult to coordinate. Early guidance helps prevent missed deadlines, supports accurate billing, and strengthens your position with insurers. If you’re unsure which policy applies, we clarify app status, gather records, and communicate with the right carriers. When your injuries disrupt work or daily life, we document those effects so they are fairly valued. Legal help can reduce stress, restore order to a confusing process, and keep your focus where it belongs—on your health and recovery.
Even straightforward cases can benefit from a quick case review to confirm next steps and avoid avoidable mistakes. When liability is disputed, injuries are significant, or multiple vehicles are involved, having a coordinated plan often leads to better outcomes. We explain options in plain language and respect your decisions, whether you need targeted advice or full representation. From negotiating medical liens to evaluating settlement timing, our goal is to protect your rights and present a complete claim. If litigation becomes necessary, you will already have a strong foundation of evidence and documentation ready for the next stage.
We regularly see cases involving passengers hurt during active Uber trips, other motorists injured by a rideshare vehicle, and pedestrians or cyclists struck near busy intersections. Collisions can stem from distracted driving, unsafe left turns, or sudden lane changes during pickups and drop-offs. In other cases, Uber drivers are hit by uninsured motorists, raising UM/UIM questions. App status and timing often dictate which policy responds, so preserving trip receipts and scene photos is important. Whether your injuries are immediate or develop over days, prompt medical attention and clear documentation make your case easier to understand and support.
Passengers often face overlapping coverage when a crash occurs during an active trip. Minnesota PIP may address initial medical bills, while Uber’s higher-limit policy can apply when the driver is en route or transporting. We help confirm trip status, obtain receipts, and coordinate with adjusters so bills go to the proper carriers. If you miss work, we collect wage proof and notes from your providers. When symptoms evolve, updates to records are essential. Our role is to make the process manageable, reduce confusion, and build a claim that reflects both the immediate and longer-term impact of the collision.
If you were driving your own vehicle and were struck by an Uber driver, responsibility can depend on who caused the crash and the driver’s app status. We gather police reports, camera footage, and damage assessments to clarify fault. We also analyze which insurer should respond: the driver’s personal carrier, Uber’s contingent policy, or Uber’s primary policy when a trip is active. While your PIP can help with early medical bills, we pursue additional compensation where appropriate. By organizing the facts and presenting a clear narrative, we work to resolve liability disputes and seek a fair outcome for your losses.
Busy pickup zones can create sudden hazards for pedestrians and cyclists. If you were hit by a rideshare vehicle, documentation is key. We look for nearby cameras, rideshare timestamps, and witnesses who saw the vehicle’s movements. Minnesota PIP may apply if you have your own covered vehicle, and liability or UM/UIM coverage may be available depending on the circumstances. We also work with your providers to ensure injuries are described clearly and care plans are followed. This thorough approach helps demonstrate how the incident occurred and supports a claim that reflects both physical injuries and the disruption to your daily activities.
Rideshare claims demand clear communication, attention to detail, and steady follow-through. We provide responsive updates, practical guidance, and a plan that fits the facts of your case. Our team handles the paperwork and insurer communications so you can focus on your health. We gather and organize the records needed to demonstrate your losses and present them in a way adjusters understand. From the first call to resolution, you can expect a structured process and straightforward answers about timelines, value, and what comes next.
Coverage in Uber cases can shift based on the driver’s status. We verify those details early and notify all appropriate carriers, including your own insurer if UM/UIM is involved. When injuries affect your work or daily life, we help collect wage documentation and supportive notes from your providers. We also review medical bills for accuracy and advocate for correct processing through PIP and other coverage. This thorough coordination reduces delays, prevents gaps, and positions your claim for a fair evaluation during negotiation or, if necessary, litigation.
We offer a complimentary case review and contingency fee representation, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we obtain compensation for you. If you are unsure whether you need full representation, we can discuss a plan that matches your goals, from targeted advice to comprehensive handling. Our commitment is to clear communication and steady progress toward a resolution that reflects your injuries, expenses, and future needs. Call Metro Law Offices at 651-615-3322 to talk about your case and the best path forward.
We start by listening to your story and identifying your immediate needs, then build a plan that fits the facts. Evidence gathering, coverage analysis, and medical documentation happen in parallel to keep things moving. You will receive regular updates and clear explanations of choices at key points, including settlement opportunities and litigation options. Our approach is proactive: we address likely insurer questions before they arise, minimize delays, and organize your records to support a fair resolution. Throughout, we focus on relieving stress and helping you get back to your life while we handle the legal details.
Your first consultation focuses on what happened, your injuries, and your goals. We review available information, including police reports, photos, and any trip receipts or app screenshots. We identify all potential coverage sources, including PIP, liability, and UM/UIM, and outline a plan to preserve evidence and open claims quickly. You’ll leave with clear next steps: medical follow-up, documentation tips, and a timeline for insurance communications. We also discuss fees and expectations so there are no surprises. The aim is to create a roadmap that fits your situation and supports steady progress from day one.
We begin by understanding how the collision occurred and how it has affected your life. That means collecting photos, witness information, damage estimates, and medical records, along with the details needed to confirm the driver’s app status. We also review your insurance information to open PIP and protect potential UM/UIM claims. Clear, consistent documentation at this stage prevents problems later. We handle communications with insurers so your statements are accurate and limited to necessary facts, reducing the risk of misunderstandings that can slow your claim or weaken the value of your case.
Coverage mapping clarifies who should pay and when. We confirm whether the driver was off the app, waiting for a ride, or on an active trip, and we notify the appropriate carriers. We open your PIP claim and make sure providers have the correct information so bills route properly. If liability coverage or UM/UIM may apply, we send timely notices to preserve your rights. With a clear coverage map, we can sequence your benefits efficiently and minimize delays, allowing you to focus on treatment while we manage the insurance process behind the scenes.
As treatment progresses, we assemble the records needed to demonstrate your losses. That includes medical narratives, billing summaries, wage documentation, and any therapy or specialist notes. We also obtain repair estimates and photos to address property damage. If fault is disputed, we collect additional evidence and, when appropriate, consult outside resources to clarify how the crash occurred. With your input, we prepare a demand package that explains the incident, your injuries, and your recovery path. This preparation positions the case for productive negotiations and avoids unnecessary delays caused by incomplete information.
Comprehensive documentation is the backbone of a strong claim. We coordinate with your providers to obtain clear, timely records that connect your injuries to the collision and set out future care needs. Wage loss is supported with employer statements, pay information, and any disability notes. We also track out-of-pocket costs, mileage to appointments, and therapy recommendations. For property damage, we gather repair estimates and photos. With everything organized, the demand we submit reflects the full scope of your losses and helps adjusters evaluate your claim fairly and efficiently.
When liability is questioned, we dig deeper into the facts. We request additional scene photos, seek video from nearby businesses, and analyze vehicle damage patterns. We clarify timelines with trip data and witness statements to remove uncertainty about what happened. If needed, we consult resources to explain speed, visibility, or reaction times. The goal is a consistent, well-supported narrative that addresses likely defenses and presents the truth clearly. This work not only strengthens negotiations but also lays a foundation for litigation if a fair settlement cannot be reached through the claims process.
With records complete and liability addressed, we negotiate with the responsible insurers. We present your claim in a clear, organized format and respond promptly to requests. If a fair settlement is offered, we review terms with you and handle the paperwork. If negotiations stall, we discuss litigation, potential timelines, and costs so you can make an informed decision. Throughout, our focus is on transparency and results that reflect your injuries, expenses, and recovery. Whether your case resolves early or proceeds to court, you will have guidance and support at every step.
We build a settlement strategy around the strength of your records, the applicable coverage, and the risks on both sides. We communicate with adjusters in writing and by phone, ensuring your story is presented consistently and respectfully. If offers fall short, we explain why and provide the documentation needed to support a higher number. You will be part of every major decision, from counteroffers to conditional agreements. Our goal is a fair resolution without unnecessary delay, achieved through preparation, persistence, and a clear understanding of what matters most to you.
If negotiations do not reach a fair outcome, we are prepared to file suit and continue advocating through the court process. Litigation comes with additional steps—pleadings, discovery, depositions, and, in some cases, trial. We discuss the timeline, potential costs, and the evidence needed to move forward. Many cases still resolve before trial, and strong preparation can encourage meaningful offers. Throughout litigation, we keep communication consistent and make sure you understand each milestone. Our focus remains the same: a result that reflects your injuries, your recovery, and your goals for the future.
Start by getting medical care, even if injuries seem minor. Report the crash to law enforcement and, if you were on a trip, through the Uber app. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries, and gather witness names and contact information. Save your trip receipt and any in-app messages or screenshots that show timing. Notify your auto insurer to open your PIP claim, and avoid speculating about fault or your medical condition in early conversations. These steps help confirm coverage and create the records needed to support your claim. Next, organize bills, treatment notes, and time missed from work. Keep a log of symptoms and activities you can no longer perform. If property damage is involved, collect repair estimates and rental receipts. Be cautious with early settlement offers or recorded statements until you understand the full scope of your injuries. Metro Law Offices can review your documentation, coordinate with the correct insurers, and help you decide whether targeted guidance or full representation makes sense for your situation.
In Minnesota, your no-fault (PIP) coverage generally pays initial medical expenses and part of lost wages, regardless of fault. If you were a passenger without your own vehicle, other coverage options may still be available. Depending on the driver’s app status and who caused the crash, the Uber driver’s policy, Uber’s contingent or primary policy, or the at-fault driver’s insurer may be responsible for additional payments. Properly opening your PIP claim and routing bills correctly reduces delays and billing issues. When injuries are more significant, you may pursue compensation beyond PIP for remaining medical costs, wage loss, and pain-related harms. Coordinating multiple insurers is common in rideshare cases, and timely notices are important. We verify app status, identify all potentially responsible carriers, and present your records in an organized way to support payment. If there is a dispute about fault or medical causation, we gather the evidence necessary to move the claim toward a fair resolution.
Uber’s higher-limit liability policy can apply when the driver is en route to a pickup or transporting a passenger. If the app is on but the driver is waiting for a ride, contingent coverage with lower limits may apply, often after the driver’s own policy responds. If the app is off, the driver’s personal policy typically applies. Determining which policy is in play depends on evidence of app status and timing. Trip receipts, app data, and statements can help confirm the correct coverage. Even when higher limits are available, the insurer may challenge liability or the value of injuries. A well-documented claim—medical records, billing summaries, wage proof, and consistent timelines—helps you access the coverage that applies and pursue fair compensation. We focus on confirming the status early, sending necessary notices, and preventing gaps that could slow the process. If disputes persist, we discuss options for litigation and other steps to protect your rights.
If the Uber driver was off the app at the time of the crash, Uber’s coverage typically does not apply. In that situation, the driver’s personal auto policy is usually responsible, along with your own PIP for initial medical bills. If the driver’s limits are insufficient and another at-fault party exists, additional claims may be available. Evidence that proves the app was off—such as the absence of a trip receipt at the time—helps clarify which carrier should respond. If you were injured while the driver was off the app, your claim still follows familiar steps: medical documentation, liability assessment, and coordination with the correct insurers. We gather police reports, witness statements, and damage photos to present a clear picture of fault. If liability is disputed, we address it with objective evidence. When injuries require extended care, we ensure the claim reflects future treatment needs and wage loss as well as current medical expenses.
Yes. Uber passengers commonly have access to multiple layers of coverage. Minnesota PIP can help with early medical bills, and Uber’s higher-limit policy may apply when the trip is active. If another driver caused the crash, that driver’s liability insurance may also be involved, with UM/UIM as a potential additional source if limits are inadequate. Trip receipts, driver details, and prompt reporting through the app all help confirm which policies apply. As a passenger, you should prioritize medical care and keep records of every appointment, prescription, and activity you miss. Do not assume early soreness will disappear; follow provider recommendations and document changes in symptoms. We help organize your records, confirm coverage, and present a demand that reflects the full impact of the collision. If questions arise about fault or policy limits, we address them directly with the insurers involved and, when needed, pursue litigation to protect your rights.
Minnesota law imposes deadlines for injury claims, and the specific timeline can depend on the type of claim, the parties involved, and the coverage at issue. While many negligence claims may allow several years, waiting can harm your case because evidence fades and insurers may challenge gaps in treatment or documentation. Prompt reporting, early medical care, and clear notices to the right insurers help preserve your rights and reduce delays. We recommend reaching out as soon as possible so we can confirm applicable deadlines and take steps to protect your claim. Early action allows us to secure trip data, witness statements, and camera footage, which are harder to obtain with time. We also open your PIP claim promptly and coordinate benefits so medical bills route correctly. If settlement discussions begin, a timely, well-documented file improves your position and supports a fair evaluation of your injuries and losses.
Approach recorded statements cautiously. While cooperation may be necessary for certain benefits, you are allowed to ask for time to review your records and understand the scope of your injuries. Keep your comments factual and avoid speculating about fault or long-term recovery. If you feel rushed, request that communications be in writing so you can respond thoughtfully. Early statements can be used to minimize your claim if they are incomplete or inaccurate. We can step in to handle insurer communications and help ensure your statements reflect accurate, up-to-date information. Before accepting a quick settlement, consider whether your treatment is complete and whether the offer covers future care, wage loss, and other harms. Our review can identify missing items and strengthen your position for negotiation. If a fair agreement isn’t reached, we discuss next steps, including litigation, with a clear explanation of risks, costs, and potential timelines.
If the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little, UM/UIM coverage may help. In rideshare cases, UM/UIM can come from your own policy and, in certain active-trip scenarios, potentially from Uber’s policy as well. To use UM/UIM effectively, timely notice and careful coordination are essential to avoid conflicts between policies. We verify all available coverage and sequence claims so you do not miss opportunities for recovery. We also gather the documentation insurers need to evaluate UM/UIM: medical records, bills, wage proof, and evidence of fault. If liability or damages are disputed, we address those issues with additional investigation. The aim is to present a clear, well-supported claim that demonstrates why UM/UIM should apply and what remains unpaid after other coverage. This approach improves your position in negotiations and prepares the case for litigation if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Compensation is typically based on medical expenses, wage loss, property damage, and non-economic harms such as physical pain and the disruption to your daily life. Adjusters look for consistent medical records, clear causation, and documented financial losses. App status and policy limits also influence available recovery. A thorough demand package connects the facts of the crash to your injuries and shows how those injuries affect work, family responsibilities, and activities you value. Your best leverage often comes from preparation: organized records, timely treatment, and a consistent narrative. We help you document symptoms, gather supporting statements, and present the claim in a format that answers common insurer questions. If an initial offer falls short, we explain why, supply additional documentation, and continue to negotiate. When necessary, we outline litigation options so you can decide how to proceed based on your goals and the strength of the evidence.
We offer a complimentary case review and work on a contingency fee, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. During the initial consultation, we explain how fees are calculated, what costs may arise, and how those are handled. You will have a clear understanding of the financial arrangement before you decide whether to move forward. Our aim is to provide accessible representation while maintaining transparency at every step. Because every case is different, overall costs can vary depending on the complexity of the claim, the amount of documentation needed, and whether litigation becomes necessary. We discuss these variables early and keep you updated as the case progresses. If an early settlement is possible, we explain your options. If further work is required, we prepare a plan with timelines and anticipated steps. Call 651-615-3322 to learn more about how we can help.
