An experienced Lawrenceville Uber accident lawyer will work to help you pursue a favorable settlement number from the at-fault insurance companies involved in your case. In some instances, insurance coverage may come from the at-fault Uber driver’s insurer, Uber corporate, or some combination of the two. However, if the insurance company refuses to fully and fairly settle your case, you have the option of taking your case to trial. In that instance, a jury will decide what, if any, damages you are entitled to recover in your accident case.
If your case does go to trial, your lawyer can introduce evidence, call witnesses (which could include you) to testify, as well as make an opening statement and a closing argument. After the trial, the jury will consider all of the evidence presented in court to reach a verdict.
Evidence that can be helpful at jury trials arising from an Uber car accident include:
- Direct testimony from the accident victim – If you sustained an injury in an accident that was caused by an Uber driver, you have the opportunity to testify at trial. During this time, you can convey our experience and perspective on the incident, such as how the accident happened, as well as any observations that you might have noted, such as the fact that the Uber driver appeared to be intoxicated.
- Testimony from eyewitnesses – Similarly, an eyewitness to an Uber accident can be very helpful in court. Eyewitnesses can describe the events leading up to the accident from another perspective, including the approximate speeds of the involved vehicles and whether or not the drivers were erratically operating their vehicles.
- Medical records and bills – At trial, medical records and bills may be offered into evidence to support the injuries that the accident victim sustained in their accident, such as a bone fracture, soft tissue injury, back injury, or traumatic head injury. These records (along with the testimony of a healthcare provider) establish the necessary causal connection between the accident and the injuries.
- Photographs – Photographs are important pieces of trial evidence because they depict property damage of the involved vehicles, along with the injuries that the accident victim sustained in the motor vehicle collision. Photographs may also help in representing the scene of the accident and the position of various vehicles just before or after the impact took place.
