Have you been in an accident involving ride share vehicle like Uber or Lyft?
Many New Yorkers don’t own a car, and no one really wants to ride the subway anymore. Ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft have transformed the way people get around in cities across the United States. These services offer an affordable and convenient transportation option, but they also come with risks. Although the apps make it very easy to get a car to pick you up, the process is anything but easy in the event of an accident. Ride share vehicles in New York, are often operated by unskilled and inexperienced drivers that are using the ride share app while driving, and get into a large number of car accidents.
When you call for an Uber, Lyft, or other ride sharing driver anywhere in New York, you should expect to be driven to your destination in a timely — and above all, safe manner, but unfortunately that’s just not the case. Ride sharing accidents can and do happen, and if you are injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Ride sharing accidents can be particularly complex from a legal standpoint. There may be multiple parties involved, including the ride sharing company, the driver, the owner of the vehicle, and other motorists or pedestrians who may have been involved in the accident. Additionally, although ride share vehicles typically carry significant insurance coverage, the policies can often be complex and difficult to navigate.
If you are involved in a ride sharing accident, the first priority is seek medical attention for any injuries you may have sustained. Once you have sought medical attention, it’s important to gather as much information as possible about the accident. This may include the names and contact information of the driver and any witnesses, photos of the scene of the accident, and any other relevant information.
