If you find yourself in a collision while riding with UBER, your immediate action should be to ensure your safety. 

Better still, if you are in good health, ensure everyone else is safe. If anyone is injured, don't hesitate to call 911. 

Even if there are no apparent injuries, seeking medical attention is pivotal as shock might be hiding them. It's also crucial to file a police report when officers arrive at the scene. 

Documenting evidence is equally important; gather the Uber driver's details and those of others involved in the accident, including any witnesses. If safe, take photographs of the scene and any injuries you might have sustained. Note down the exact location of the accident for future reference. 

Lastly, get professional legal advice; you might be deserving of compensation, and an experienced attorney will guide you through the process.
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 experienced personal injury lawyer in your corner significantly boosts your case's chances. The right attorney is well-versed in the court system and possesses intricate knowledge of personal injury laws.

For example, Belal can let you know exactly what your case is worth during a free case evaluation. Then, he can lay out exactly how he can help you to recover that compensation. 

An attorney can help you to recover all eligible damages, including punitive, economic, and those related to emotional distress. By shouldering the legal burden, they free up your time to concentrate on recuperating.

Experienced attorneys know how to deal with insurance companies. Too often, the insurance company will try to lowball you, offering you far less for your claim than what it is worth. 

Those are just some of the reasons to hire an experienced personal injury attorney like Belal Hamideh. There are many others.

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.
In California, you have two years from the date of the injury to file your case. While it might seem lengthy, it's not, especially when recovering from an accident. The sooner you engage an attorney, the quicker you can start your claim process.

Have you been injured in a motorcycle accident in or around California? Whether you were the driver of the motorcycle or not, California motorcycle accident lawyer Belal Hamideh can assist you in recovering all of the compensation you deserve for all you’ve endured.

Riding a motorcycle can be a thrilling adventure, unlike anything else. Regrettably, it can also be hazardous. Injuries from a motorcycle accident can be more severe than those from other types of accidents, resulting in significant injuries or worse for you and your family. Motorcycle accidents account for more than 15% of all vehicular accident fatalities in California.

Considering the medical costs associated with a motorcycle accident, which could include rehabilitation, long-term care, a decrease in work ability, pain, suffering, and more, motorcycle accidents could cost you millions. Belal Hamideh is here to assist you. You can schedule a free consultation with our team to ensure you receive all the compensation you deserve.
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.

If you don't carry insurance and are injured in a motorcycle accident but weren't at fault, you will still be penalized for your lack of insurance. All California drivers must carry liability insurance.

Specifically, you'll be penalized by being unable to seek compensation for your pain and suffering, the non-economic damages. You will be restricted to seeking compensation for your economic damages. We can still assist you in recovering the maximum amount.

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.
