Being involved in a vehicular accident can be a traumatic experience, and it doesn't get any less traumatic when the accident involves a rideshare vehicle like UBER. Undeniably, your first course of action should be centered on ensuring your personal safety and that of those around you. On the flip side, if you're unharmed, your focus should extend to guaranteeing safety for everyone else on the scene.
In the unfortunate event of an accident while using UBER, your first priority should be your safety.

If you are unharmed, check on the wellbeing of others. Immediately dial 911 if there are casualties.

Regardless of visible injuries, medical consultation is essential as not all damages might be immediate due to possible shock. It's mandatory to inform the police and get a detailed report once they reach the accident spot.

Accumulating evidence is of paramount importance; secure the Uber driver's and other involved parties' information, including any eyewitnesses. Provided it's safe, photograph the accident spot and any personal injuries for future use. Document the precise accident area as well.

Subsequently, seek expert legal consultation; you could qualify for compensation, and a seasoned lawyer can navigate you through the procedure. Belal Hamideh stands out from other UBER accident lawyers due to his experience, track record, and other factors. 
For the most part, no. In California, if you’re hurt at work, your employers are mostly, more or less, protected from liability. But, if they did something to injure you intentionally, or did something they knew would injure you, then you may have a case. 

Alternatively, you may be able to sue a third party in addition to your employer, should they have been responsible for your injury. For example, if you work at a construction site and you’re injured by a defective piece of machinery, then you may be able to sue the manufacturer, the designer, and so forth. 

This is all the more reason to speak to an experienced workers compensation attorney as soon as possible after your injury. To schedule a consultation with workers comp lawyer Belal Hamideh, you can message him through this site or call. 
Having an expert car accident attorney on your side increases the likelihood of a successful outcome for your case significantly. Such an attorney understands the ins and outs of the legal system and has in-depth knowledge of laws relating to car accidents.

For instance, Belal can inform you of the value of your case during a free case evaluation. Afterwards, he can explain in detail how he can assist you to secure that compensation.

A car accident attorney can aid you in claiming all eligible damages, which could range from punitive and economic to those associated with emotional distress. By taking on the legal responsibilities, they allow you to focus on recovery.

Seasoned attorneys are skilled at negotiating with insurance companies. It's not uncommon for the insurance company to try to under-compensate you, proposing a settlement far below what your claim is truly worth.

These are just a few reasons why it's beneficial to hire a car accident attorney with experience. There are many more.
This depends on the attorney. Belal Hamideh, for example, works on contingency. That means clients never have to pay for his services “out of pocket.” Instead, they pay out of the eventual settlement. As opposed to having to pay a sum, or for hours, Belal’s payment comes out of what he is able to win for his clients. 

This is a better arrangement for all parties involved. Belal does not receive payment should he lose the case. Moreover, he wins 99% of the time. This puts him firmly on the side of the victim, doing everything in his power to make sure that they receive everything that they should. 

Beyond this, Belal also works with medical professionals who, like Belal, work on contingency. Their patients do not have to pay for medical treatment out of pocket, instead, payment comes out of the settlement Belal wins for them.

A truck accident lawyer with experience can handle every aspect of your case. First, they’ll sit down with you and go over your situation. Then, they’ll tell you what you can expect to receive in terms of compensation as well as how they’ll help you to receive it.

From there, they’ll conduct an investigation into what really happened. Drawing upon those facts, they’ll make the best, most compelling case on your behalf. The right truck accident attorney can negotiate with the other party’s insurance company.
In California, you cannot sue your employer for a work injury. Instead, work injuries are covered under workers compensation.

If your work injury is caused by a third party who is not your employer, then you can sue them. For example, if you suffer an injury while working at a construction site and your injury was caused by a defective tool, then you could potentially sue the tool’s manufacturer, designer, and so forth.
Absolutely. Hiring a California motorcycle accident lawyer is invaluable. The right lawyer will aggressively defend your best interests while protecting your legal rights, all with the goal of helping you receive maximum compensation for your claim.



A lawyer with experience in motorcycle accident cases will know how to accurately value your case so you receive all the compensation you should. They’re aware of all deadlines, including filing suits, submitting evidence, and more, to keep your interests a priority. They can ensure your medical bills are paid for the lowest possible amount, order police/traffic reports, and handle many other tasks so you don’t have to.



Furthermore, a motorcycle accident attorney knows how to deal with insurance companies. They understand your policies, how they apply to your claim, what the insurance company is trying to do, and how to ensure you get everything you should from the insurance company, either through settlement or in court. The right attorney can assist you in various ways.
You can receive compensation for both your non-economic damages and your economic damages. Your economic damages are the expenses from your injury, such as medical bills from accident injuries, lost income now or in the future, the cost to repair or replace your motorcycle, and more. If you have suffered more serious injuries, your economic damages could also include rehab, physical therapy, future medical treatments, home modifications, and more.



Your non-economic damages, on the other hand, include your pain, emotional suffering, and all that you’ve had to endure since your motorcycle accident. Your damages could include "Loss of Consortium," which is the loss of your spouse. "Loss of enjoyment of life" damages compensate you for not being able to participate in activities you enjoyed before the accident. We can help you receive compensation for everything to which you are entitled.
You can sue the person responsible for your crash. Filing a suit against them is only the beginning of the process. Additionally, you need to prove the other driver’s negligence and that this negligence caused your accident and damages.



To establish a case for negligence, you and your attorney will need to prove four crucial elements. You must show the defendant owed you a "duty of care," meaning the other driver's "duty" to you and other motorists was to drive in a safe, reasonable manner. Then, you must show that the other driver breached that duty by either failing to take action or taking incorrect action. From there, you must demonstrate that the breach caused your accident. Lastly, you need to show that as a result of your accident, you have suffered damages. An experienced attorney can help you prove all of these points.

After your accident, you may be in a state of shock or experience a rush of adrenaline. Follow these steps:

Prioritize safety. Get yourself out of danger as best as you can. Seek medical attention even if you don't feel injured at the moment.
Call the police. Your police report will be crucial for your personal injury case.
Get the Other Person's Contact Info. Obtain the name, number, license, address, insurance details, and vehicle description from anyone involved in the accident.
Document the scene. If you're able, take pictures of your injuries and the accident scene.
Do not admit fault. There's no reason for you to take the blame in the aftermath of the accident.
Contact an experienced attorney. We can guide you through the process every step of the way.
You should always wear a helmet on your motorcycle. California law mandates that all motorcycle drivers, and passengers, must always wear a helmet on a motorcycle. If you are in a motorcycle accident and weren't wearing a helmet at the time, you may be held partly responsible for your injuries.



However, California is known as a "comparative negligence state." This means you can still seek and recover compensation for your pain, suffering, and injuries, even if you weren't wearing a helmet during your accident. We have assisted many clients in the past with this situation.
You can still receive compensation for your injuries if you don't have insurance and the other party was at fault for your accident. However, your compensation will be significantly reduced, as you don't have liability coverage.

We're ready to assist you.
According to studies, the most common bicycle injury is to the knee. Whether it’s from overuse or an accident, the knees are at risk while you’re on a bicycle. Injuries to the outer knee, the kneecap, and elsewhere are all too common.

Perhaps the most common serious bicycle accident is to the head. Always wear a helmet when riding your cycle. Even then, however, your head is not impervious to injury. Hopefully, any injury to the head is a minor one, but it could potentially be a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Hopefully, any bicycle injury you suffer is minor. If you aren’t in an accident yet while or after riding your bicycle you feel severe pain, lose sensation, feel weak, or are bleeding, seek medical attention.
