How Our Law Firm Can Help You After an Uber Accident in The Villages

After an accident, you may be feeling disoriented in addition to dealing with physical pain and mental trauma. Dealing with insurance companies, which never have your best interests at the forefront, and complicated personal injury claim paperwork can be frustrating and disheartening. Having a dedicated advocate can make everything feel easier.

At Meldon Law, we value accident victims as individuals. We want you to feel supported by our compassionate legal representation. We will answer your questions, explain the legal process to you, and ensure that you are updated as your case progresses.

We can:

• Fill out and file all necessary paperwork, ensuring that it is correct and complete
• Communicate with the insurance company so that you don’t have to
• Gather evidence to help support your claim
• Fight for the maximum compensation that you may be eligible for
• Advocate for you during any settlement offers, so you don’t end up taking less than you deserve
• Represent you in court if that becomes necessary

We know that any attorney can do these things for you. But those attorneys don’t have the skill, knowledge, and experience—the three things most important to every case—we have.

And, if you are hesitant to hire legal representation due to financial worries, please note that we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that there are no upfront costs to you. Instead, we will only collect our fee if we are able to recover compensation for you. Our fee is an agreed-upon percentage of your settlement.

What Losses Can I Recover After an Uber Accident in The Villages?

Motor vehicle accidents may lead to severe injuries that impact every aspect of your world for months or even for the rest of your life. You may no longer be able to work at the same capacity you once did, require assistance with your activities of daily living (ADLs) because of a disability, or be suffering from emotional trauma that impacts your quality of life.

Financial compensation after an accident should include both economic and non-economic losses that impact your day-to-day life.

These recoverable losses can include:

• Medical Expenses, such as surgeries, emergency room visits, doctor appointments, medications, and physical therapy
• Job Losses, such as lost wages, loss of possible benefits, such as PTO, and even diminished earning capacity if you are no longer able to work
• Assistance and Disability Accommodations, such as long-term care, home modifications for changed accessibility needs, or mobility assistance devices such as wheelchairs
• Non-Economic Losses, such as physical pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium

An Uber accident attorney in The Villages will examine the full scope of your losses so that they can fight for you to recover the full compensation you are entitled to.

In the tragic event that a loved one passed away after an Uber accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation for the impact their loss has had on your life. One of our wrongful death attorneys in The Villages can help.

What Support Is Needed for an Accident Claim?

To support your rideshare accident claim, you will need to show that your injuries were due to someone else’s negligence and that you have suffered losses because of them. To support this, your rideshare accident lawyer in The Villages will:

Investigate Your Accident

Your lawyer will establish the liable party or parties by taking photos of the accident scene, obtaining footage of the accident, interviewing witnesses, reviewing the police report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, Marion County Sheriff’s Office, or Lake County Sheriff’s Office, and consulting with accident reconstructionists.

Show Evidence of Your Losses

They may do this by reviewing your medical records, collecting receipts from bills related to your losses, and consulting with medical professionals about the long-term impacts of your injuries.

You Must File Within Florida’s Statute of Limitations

Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you typically only have two years in which you can file a personal injury lawsuit. Your lawyer will ensure that your case abides by all legal deadlines.

What Should You Do After an Uber Accident in The Villages?

If you’ve been in an accident, you should ensure that you and anyone else involved are safe. Seeking medical attention is the most important thing you can do, as early diagnosis of injuries will give you the best chance at successful treatment. If you are able to do so, you can also:

• Call the police to the scene.
• Take photos of the accident scene and your injuries.
• Gather contact information from witnesses and any other drivers involved.
• Report the accident via the Uber app or website.

However, it’s important to note that if you are unable to take these steps, your lawyer will be able to take most of them on your behalf.
