What Clients Say About Working with Jacoby & Meyers
New York City Rideshare Accident Lawyer FAQ
You should seek medical attention immediately, report the crash to law enforcement, document the scene if possible, and avoid discussing fault with insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney.
Coverage depends on whether the rideshare driver was actively transporting a passenger, waiting for a ride request, or off duty at the time of the collision. Multiple insurance policies may apply in the same case.
In some situations, claims may involve Uber or Lyft insurance coverage rather than direct corporate liability. However, the specific facts of the accident matter, and an attorney can evaluate all available legal options.
New York law limits the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain deadlines may apply much sooner depending on the parties involved and the nature of the claim.
Passengers are rarely responsible for causing a rideshare collision. Even if the rideshare driver was partially at fault, injured passengers may still have the right to pursue compensation.
If you have additional questions about your claim, our team can answer them when we meet with you.
