Levittown Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Ordering an Uber or Lyft can be an efficient and convenient way to get around town. Many passengers see it as a way to help guarantee a desired level of safety (for example, when someone has had alcohol and knows they should not be driving or should not be a passenger of someone else who has had alcohol), and oftentimes it does. However, that doesn’t mean there is no risk of getting into an accident in one of these vehicles. If you were injured in a rideshare crash, you have rights. A Levittown rideshare accident attorney with our firm will handle your case, regardless of how difficult or complex it seems. It’s our goal to improve and restore your quality of life. Reach out to Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., now. A team member will further explain the services our Levittown personal injury lawyers offer.

Don’t Let Time Get Away from You After a Rideshare Crash in Levittown, NY

You only have so much time to file a lawsuit following a rideshare crash in Levittown, New York. New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, for example, specifies how long you have to file for personal injury. (It is also very important to note that a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your situation, depending upon the circumstances of your case. It is best to take advantage of a free case review with our firm so that you know exactly what deadlines you are facing and what your best options for legal action are.)  If your loved one passed away from their rideshare accident injuries, we’re sincerely sorry for your loss. One of our Levittown wrongful death lawyers will fight for compensation on behalf of the survivors and strive to adhere to the deadline codified in Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1. It’s important to get working on your case right away, as failure to file suit by the end of the applicable deadline could bar you from suing the other party. However, if you let our team know about your situation soon enough, we will ensure your case complies with all deadlines. Early notice also gives us time to build the most robust case possible. Reach out to Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., today for more information.

Insurance Policies to Be Aware of Following a Rideshare Accident

Rideshare accident cases may be more complicated than standard accident claims. This is because more than one party is involved (e.g., both the at-fault driver and the rideshare company), and because the rideshare driver’s status will determine how you pursue compensation. Per Uber and Lyft:
  • If the driver was not online, their personal auto insurance will cover the losses.
  • If the driver was online and available to give a ride, the company’s third-party liability would cover up to $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 in property damage.
  • If the driver was on their way to pick up a passenger or in the middle of a trip, you may file a claim with the rideshare company’s insurance. In New York State, outside the City of New York, this coverage would be $1.25 million for injury claims. Within the City of New York, the coverage would typically be capped at $100,000.00. 
Before filing any of these claims, you will file with your own no-fault car insurance, which covers certain damages regardless of fault. While most people don’t like to hear that a claim is being filed with their own insurance carrier, by law, certain expenses, such as medical treatment for injuries sustained in the car accident, must be processed with the host vehicle. Rest assured, we will work to win compensation for our injured clients from the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. When your rideshare accident attorney in Levittown reviews and builds your case, we will pinpoint the driver’s status at the time of the crash and file your claim with the appropriate insurance policies.
