En algunos casos, la responsabilidad en un accidente automovilístico es fácil de asignar, como cuando un conductor ocasiona un accidente al romper las reglas de carretera. En otros casos, como los que implican a varios coches y conductores, asignar la responsabilidad puede resultar más difícil.

Cuando se trata de casos que implican un servicio de viaje compartido como Uber, la situación puede llegar a ser aún más compleja. Si un conductor de Uber se involucra en un accidente, los proveedores de seguros pueden tratar de asignar responsabilidad al conductor de Uber, la compañía, el pasajero u otros conductores involucrados. Esto puede complicarse sin la ayuda de un abogado con experiencia que conozca las leyes de California.

¿Qué puede hacer si tienes un accidente mientras viaja en un Uber? ¿Cómo puede protegerse contra la responsabilidad y qué puede hacer para garantizar una compensación justa por sus lesiones? Esto es lo que debe saber:

El caso de la asignación de responsabilidad

Al visitar Los Angeles, es natural contratar a un conductor para manejarse por la autopistas y vecindarios en los lugares circundantes. Uber lo hace fácil con una aplicación fácil de usar que le permite rastrear a su conductor, calificar su viaje, y pagar por teléfono.

Aunque la mayoría de los viajes en Uber se programan y se completan sin incidentes, lo que le permite llegar a su destino a tiempo e intacto, las autopistas con mucho tráfico son puntos rojos de accidentes automovilísticos.

Cuando se produce un accidente, puede haber cualquier número de personas culpables, incluyendo uno o más conductores o pasajeros. ¿Por qué es importante? La asignación de responsabilidad determina quién pagará las lesiones y los daños resultantes del accidente. Como pasajero de Uber, es poco probable, pero no imposible, que se le podría culpar de un accidente. Si, por ejemplo, abre la puerta de un coche en el tráfico o agrede ebrio a su conductor, causando un accidente, se le podría considerar responsable.

En la mayoría de los casos, uno o más conductores tendrán la culpa. Es importante determinar la responsabilidad para asegurarse  que cualquier lesión que sufra estará cubierta por el seguro. Sin embargo, lo que complica aún más el asunto es que el seguro de Uber cubre a los empleados mientras conducen para la empresa (a diferencia de la póliza de seguro de automóvil personal del conductor), por lo que es posible que tenga que tratar con Uber en el curso de la búsqueda de una compensación.

Causas comunes de accidentes

Demostrar que un conductor u otro es culpable de un accidente no siempre es fácil. Como pasajero, es posible que se le llame para que vuelva a contar detalles que demuestren que su conductor fue culpable. Es posible que le pregunten si su conductor de Uber estaba violando las leyes de tráfico, lo que llevó al accidente, o si conducía con problemas, fatigados o distraídos. Si bien algunas de estas observaciones podrían ser subjetivas, pueden ayudar a asignar responsabilidad.

También es posible que tenga que relatar detalles de un accidente que demuestren que otro conductor tuvo la culpa. Más de un conductor puede haber sido el culpable. Después de un accidente, es importante escribir lo que recuerda o hablar con las autoridades en la escena antes de olvidar detalles importantes que podrían ayudar a asignar responsabilidad.

Comprender la responsabilidad basada en la culpa

¿Por qué es tan importante determinar quién tiene la culpa en un accidente de Uber? California es un estado basado en culpabilidad, lo que significa que a la persona o personas consideradas culpables de un accidente automovilístico se le asignará la responsabilidad y se le exigirá que pague por los daños y los costos médicos que resulten.

De acuerdo con el estándar de negligencia comparativa pura, la culpa puede ser compartida, en cuyo caso a cada parte responsable se le asignará un porcentaje de los costos. Además, la ley de California establece que cualquiera que se encuentre infringiendo la ley cuando se produce un accidente es presuntamente culpable.

¿Quién determina la responsabilidad?

En California, la responsabilidad por accidentes automovilísticos suele ser determinada por las compañías de seguros. Para ello, usarán informes de accidentes y declaraciones de testigos. De existir declaraciones contradictorias, asignar responsabilidad puede convertirse en una tarea compleja y larga, lo que podría afectar su capacidad para recibir cobertura por costos médicos o un acuerdo de manera oportuna.

Pelear por una compensación

Debido a que existen muchos proveedores de seguros involucrados al resolver un accidente que incluía a los conductores de Uber, su mejor opción para recibir una compensación justa en tiempo y forma es contratar a un abogado calificado y experimentado de Los Angeles.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
