Getting around New York is synonymous with using yellow taxi cabs. While television and movies paint streets full of cabs, that image is slowly changing. Rideshare services are exploding onto the scene and taking over. Unfortunately, rideshare drivers get into accidents just like anybody else.
If you have suffered injuries in a rideshare accident, TopDog Law can help you find a local attorney who will pursue compensation and justice for your losses. Getting through the insurance process can be challenging, but a New York rideshare accident lawyer can help.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Getting compensation for your losses can be one of the most important things you do for your life and future. Some of the injuries that result from car accidents are life-altering. You can face hundreds of thousands in expenses.
TopDog Law can assist by connecting you to an attorney in your area who will evaluate your injury case. The insurance company will almost certainly offer you less than your case is worth, but a New York rideshare accident attorney will fight back.
Rideshare cases are unique because multiple parties can be responsible. Who is responsible may not be as clear-cut as you think. A personal injury attorney in New York can assess fault and hold all parties accountable. You need someone with experience handling these complex commercial insurance issues.
Lastly, you don’t want to take the blame for something you didn’t cause. Trust the attorneys in TopDog Law’s network to guide you through every step of the process.
Rideshare drivers are no different than other drivers. The one difference is they are driving for work and compensation. They are regular people prone to make errors. They are on the road all day, taking passengers from one place to another. This can lead to reckless driving and fatigue.
Leading causes of rideshare accidents in New York include:
You may receive compensation if your rideshare or another driver caused the accident. Speak to an attorney in TopDog Law’s network to get started on your injury claim.
Many rideshare accident victims are suffering from injuries such as:
Our network of New York rideshare accident lawyers can ensure you get the medical treatment required for your injuries while we focus on your compensation recovery. Injuries can impact your life in different ways, and you must keep track of your struggles and focus on your treatment plan.
Rideshare companies offer a convenient way to get around town by simply taking out your phone and calling a ride. All transactions occur within the app, eliminating concerns about tips or location miscommunication.
It is a simple process until you get into an accident and are trying to recover compensation. Rideshare companies intentionally classify drivers as independent contractors and take other steps to avoid liability when they can.
That said, rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft carry insurance that covers their drivers while they are waiting to start rides or actively providing them. If a rideshare driver causes an accident under either circumstance, victims can often recover compensation from the rideshare company’s insurance policy.
If, on the other hand, a rideshare driver causes an accident while he or she is driving and not actively using the app, victims will typically need to pursue compensation against the driver’s individual insurance policy.
When you sift through who is responsible and start negotiating with the insurance company, you might qualify for compensation for losses such as:
New York has placed special insurance requirements on rideshare drivers so they can operate in the state. It may depend on the driver’s status during the accident, but a rideshare accident lawyer in New York can help with this process.
TopDog Law helps injured people find local attorneys to help them get the money they deserve after a rideshare accident. It can be tempting to handle these claims independently, but this can be detrimental to your case.
Parts of New York are congested beyond belief, making it the fourth worst place in the nation for traffic, and you can have a higher chance of being in an accident than elsewhere. Conversely, you may encounter empty roads where speeding is common.
Some areas where car accidents happen more often include:
Whether you were in an accident on these roads or elsewhere in New York, TopDog Law is here to help. We can connect you to a lawyer in your area who will fight for top dollar against insurance companies. They are finding ways to deny your claim, and your attorney will gather evidence to prove that you deserve payment for your losses.
While your rideshare accident lawyer in New York is negotiating with the insurance company, you can take some steps to protect your claim. The first and most essential tip is to follow through with your treatment plan.
This means attending all your appointments, getting physical therapy, and reporting your symptoms to your medical team. Following your medical treatment plan is crucial because it documents your injury meticulously.
Additionally, you will want to gather all of your accident-related documents, such as medical records, police reports, and receipts. Start a file where you keep anything related to the accident and provide copies to your attorney.
