You’re hurt, the bills are piling up, and Uber’s making everything harder than it needs to be. 

You’ve spent hours on the phone explaining what happened, waiting on hold, getting transferred from one department to another, only to hear the same empty promises. Emails go unanswered. Forms don’t make sense. Every “next step” leads to another dead end.

Stop trying to handle it all yourself. 

At DevonLaw, PLLC, we see what’s really happening. Uber counts on you getting tired enough to accept less than you deserve. We don’t let that happen. Our Nashville car accident lawyers know how to make them listen. You focus on recovery, we’ll handle the fight to make sure you’re treated fairly and fully compensated.

Because when a rideshare company turns accountability into a maze, we make sure you find a way through it.

Understanding Liability in Uber Accidents: Who’s Really Responsible?

Figuring out who’s liable after an Uber crash isn’t simple. Uber wants to look like a tech company, not a transportation company, and that means they often try to push the blame elsewhere. Depending on what happened, responsibility might fall on:

  • The Uber Driver, if their negligence caused the crash.
  • Another Driver, if they hit your Uber or caused the collision.
  • Uber’s Insurance, which can apply depending on whether the driver was waiting for a ride, picking someone up, or already had a passenger.

What to Do After an Uber Accident in Nashville

The steps you take after an Uber crash can protect your health, your case, and your right to fair compensation:

  • Get Medical Help Right Away: Even if you think you’re fine, get checked. Some injuries take days to appear.
  • Call the Police: A report helps document the scene and establish fault.
  • Save Everything: Save everything relevant to the incident. Take photos of the vehicle damage, keep screenshots from your Uber app, preserve the driver’s information and any witness names, and retain all medical records—each of these helps support your claim.
  • Contact DevonLaw: We’ll deal with Uber and the insurers directly—so you don’t have to sit through another dropped call or confusing claim form.

Why You Need a Nashville Car Accident Lawyer

Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have teams of lawyers and insurers whose job is to pay out as little as possible. They know how to delay, deflect, and deny. You deserve someone who can cut through the corporate sludge and get you everything you deserve. At DevonLaw, PLLC, we:

  • Investigate every detail of your crash and identify all liable parties.
  • Handle every conversation and negotiation with insurance companies.
  • Fight for the compensation you need to cover medical costs, lost wages, and the pain you didn’t ask for.

We don’t back down when corporations make things complicated. We bring strength, heart, and persistence to every case, because standing up for the injured is what we do.
