California Uber Accident Lawyer

Uber accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from whiplash and fractures to catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, or lasting soft tissue trauma. On top of physical recovery, many clients also face emotional distress and financial instability from medical expenses. We represent clients across California who have been hurt in Uber-related accidents, including:

• Passengers injured while riding in an Uber
• Pedestrians or cyclists struck by an Uber driver
• Drivers hit by an Uber vehicle
• Passengers in another car injured in a crash involving an Uber

These cases often feel more complex than typical car accidents. Uber’s insurers and the driver’s insurer may try to shift blame or minimize payouts, leaving victims in limbo. As your California Uber accident lawyers, we cut through the red tape, hold the responsible parties accountable, and build strong claims so you can focus on healing.

Why Experience Matters In Uber Accident Cases

Because Uber drivers are classified as independent contractors, accident cases usually involve multiple layers of insurance coverage. Whether Uber’s $1 million liability policy applies depends on the stage of the ride; for example, whether the driver was waiting for a passenger, en route to pick someone up, or actively transporting a rider. Navigating these details takes experience and skill.

At the Choulos & Tsoi Law Firm, we’ve spent decades handling complex transportation accident cases. We know the tactics insurers use to reduce payouts, and we don’t back down. We prepare every case as though it will go to trial, because our priority is securing justice for you. Here’s a quick introduction to our lead attorneys and the experience they bring to the table:

• James V. Choulos: With more than 30 years of experience since earning his J.D. from Santa Clara University in 1990, James has successfully handled serious transportation and auto accident cases throughout California. Following in his father’s footsteps as a respected San Francisco trial lawyer, James has dedicated his career to protecting injury victims.
• Victor Tsoi: Since joining the firm in 2015 after earning his J.D. in 2011, Victor has become known for his attention to detail and strong advocacy in serious injury cases. His sharp negotiation skills and dedication to client care make him a trusted ally in Uber accident claims.

Proven Results For Crash Victims

Our attorneys have recovered millions for people hurt in traffic accidents, including pedestrians, cyclists, and passengers struck by negligent drivers. Some of our results include:

• $1,300,000: Settlement for a bicyclist dragged by a city bus, sustaining multiple fractures, pelvic injuries, and permanent complications.
• $335,000: Settlement for a pedestrian struck by a tourist driver, resulting in multiple facial fractures and reconstructive surgeries.
• $117,000: Settlement for a motorcyclist hit when a driver made an unsafe turn, causing fractured wrists.

These results reflect our ability to manage high-stakes injury claims and our commitment to helping clients rebuild their lives after devastating crashes. When Uber’s insurance doesn’t offer the coverage you need, we’re ready to fight for the justice and resources you deserve.
