Have you been in a rideshare accident – Uber or Lyft, as a passenger, driver, bicyclist, pedestrian, or in another car and need to file a claim? You may already have experienced how difficult it can be to get in touch with their customer service. Even email or social media channels can be unreliable. But don’t worry, our attorneys have the experience needed to contact Uber and its drivers, so you don’t have to. Have you been in a car accident with an Uber or Lyft or while riding in one as a passenger and need to file a claim? It’s important to know that the rideshare company’s insurance provider has the financial resources to employ a team of investigators, researchers, and other professionals to challenge your claim and protect their profits. Therefore, it is essential to have a representative on your side who is an experienced negotiator and an aggressive trial attorney. Our highly-trained team provides you with custom-tailored legal solutions to obtain the maximum award for their injuries.

Our Process

N.Y. State requires Uber and Lyft to have $1.25 million in coverage for injuries, deaths, or property damage, and that coverage also extends to situations where the other driver is underinsured. Additionally, the policy should offer personal injury protection, which applies regardless of who is at fault for your injuries.

If the accident happened while the rideshare driver was waiting for a ride request, the insurance must still cover $75,000 for an individual’s injuries or death, $150,000 for injuries or deaths of multiple people, and $25,000 for property damage, along with uninsured motorist coverage and personal injury protection.

Our legal team will:

  • Provide a free case review
  • Locate & preserve critical evidence
  • Recruit & employ top crash researchers
  • Identify & interview key witnesses
  • Reconstruct the crash scene for the jury
  • Present current medical expenses & projected future costs
  • Travel to you & the location of injured parties

Steve Boyd

It’s common to suffer broken or fractured bones in high-impact motor vehicle accidents, such as broken legs, arms, or ribs.

Spinal Cord Injuries

When the spinal cord is compacted or stretched due to an impact, severe and permanent injuries can occur. In the gravest cases, the victim may suffer paralysis.

Brain Injuries

People inside the vehicle may hit their heads during a car accident and suffer traumatic brain injuries as a result. Concussions can cause acute pain, debilitating migraines, personality changes, and other symptoms.

Burns

Fires may occur in a rideshare crash, and severe burns can happen as a result. We seek fair compensation when someone else’s negligence leads to second and third-degree burns.
