A skilled Fresno Rideshare accident lawyer from BANA LAW can help you recover your losses and re-stabilize your future. We will handle all elements of your claim with skill and give you the personal support you need to get through this fight.
Since our firm’s beginning in 2003, our Uber accident lawyers in Fresno have worked diligently to bring our clients compensation for their injuries. Our team is dedicated to giving every client superior service and representation, and we are ready to get to work for you.
Take Important First Steps to Strengthen Your Claim
If you don’t require emergency medical assistance, you still need to get medical care promptly after the crash. Some physical damage can take time to show, and early treatment will prevent you from injuring yourself further. The other side could blame you for any worsened condition if you delay care.
You also need to report the accident to Uber, and you should know how to get a crash report in Fresno. Your best course of action is to partner with a Fresno car accident lawyer in these early days. Your attorney can help you report the crash without saying anything that could undermine your claim and make crash-report requests for you.
Your Fresno personal injury lawyer can also determine how much your injury claim is worth. The party at fault will try to downplay your injuries and other suffering. Your attorney will value your claim accurately and protect you from settling for less. Don’t accept any settlement offers until they have undergone review by your lawyer.
An Uber Accident Attorney in Fresno Will Fight to Maximize Compensation
Rideshare accidents have a variety of causes. As a rideshare passenger, it’s likely you don’t hold any blame for the crash. If you are the rideshare driver, another driver, or a pedestrian, you could be found partly at fault. Your Uber accident attorney in Fresno can break down comparative negligence in CA and fight to protect you from unfair accusations.
Accident victims in California may seek damages even if they hold culpability for the crash leading to their losses. Under comparative negligence, they can see their compensation reduced by their percentage of fault. Preventing unfair reductions is a major reason you need an injury law firm to help with your settlement.
BANA LAW knows what to expect from the other side and will prepare to meet all challenges. We know how to build claims on solid evidence. We will not miss a single detail when evaluating your losses and will come to all settlement negotiations armed with evidence, legal knowledge, and a carefully designed strategy.
Damages You May Receive
Physical injuries incur steep medical costs. If your injuries are catastrophic, your medical needs could continue indefinitely, along with those costs. You will lose wages when off from work to recover, and if you can’t return to work, you will be without income permanently. Your attorney will fight to recoup these and any other accident-related financial losses.
Your pain and emotional suffering also matter. Your lawyer knows how to value these consequences and will include their dollar value in the settlement demand.
Should the other side refuse to make a fair offer during negotiations, we can help you decide if going to court is the best way forward. We are fierce trial attorneys and ready to fight aggressively for you at all proceedings.

Liability Issues in Uber Accidents
Typically, victims seek compensation from the insurance company representing the at-fault party. According to the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC), one-third of rideshare drivers have had a crash on the job. The driver must have a personal policy, but Uber provides:
- $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident for third-party injuries, and $25,000 for property damage if the accident happens when the Uber driver is on the app but waiting to accept a client.
- $1,000,000 per accident for third–party liability and property damage if the Uber driver is on the way to a pickup or driving with passengers.
Insurance companies do not want to take ownership of liability, and if there is room for dispute, they will try to deflect blame. Of course, while the companies battle, you must wait longer for justice.
Your Fresno Uber accident attorney will work to hold the responsible party or parties accountable as swiftly as possible, so you can move on with your life.

Why It Is Best to Connect With an Attorney Quickly
California has set legal deadlines to sue someone. For most car accidents, that deadline is 2 years. Connecting with us quickly gives us time to investigate your crash, gather evidence of liability, and file within that time limit. If negotiations are unproductive, you can only take the claim to court if you have filed on time.
Evidence-gathering efforts produce the best results when we get to work quickly after your accident. It’s easier to find witnesses, and they are more likely to remember important details in those earlier days.
There are also more opportunities for physical evidence and camera footage to get lost or erased as time passes. Trust us to dig deep and collect every bit of information available to support your claim.
A fast connection brings protection as well. Your lawyer can give you sound guidance, keeping you from doing or saying things that could harm your claim. We will advise you on actions that support a favorable outcome, such as staying on track with doctors’ appointments and orders.
