We Know How to Handle the Challenges of a Rideshare Accident Claim

Recovering compensation after an Uber or Lyft accident is not always easy. In addition to common challenges associated with personal injury cases—such as insurance companies that try to underpay you and liable parties that deny responsibility—you might also have to contend with:
  • Multiple involved parties, including the other driver and the rideshare company
  • Multiple insurance companies that are each responsible for paying different amounts, depending on their client’s share of liability
  • Rideshare companies that do not want to share internal records, knowing that you could use the material in them as evidence in your case
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., knows how to deal with these and other obstacles. We are always willing to answer client questions throughout the legal process, which often involves:
  • Keeping clients updated about what we are doing and providing the information they need to make the best possible legal decisions
  • Determining who is responsible for the accident, which in turn tells us who must pay your damages
  • Speaking with all involved parties, including the insurance companies and rideshare companies, on your behalf
  • Collecting all available evidence to prove that the other party caused your injuries through negligent or reckless behavior
  • Calculating how much money you are entitled to based on the nature and severity of your injuries
For more information about your rights and how we protect them, call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., today. Our team will provide assistance in English, Spanish, Greek, Tamil, Kannada, or Bengali.

Compensation That Our Oceanside Rideshare Crash Lawyers Will Fight For

You deserve to be reimbursed for every loss you suffered, whether that loss was financial, physical, or emotional. A car accident lawyer from our firm will figure out how much you deserve to recover for each of the following types of damages:
  • Pain and suffering, including physical injuries and accompanying emotional distress
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Loss of consortium
  • Disabling injuries
  • Significant scar tissue
  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Loss of income or job benefits
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Loss of your current job or future professional opportunities
  • Property damage, especially to your vehicle
  • Out-of-pocket expenses, such as traveling to and from doctors’ appointments that are a certain distance away
Who pays for these and other damages? Depending on your circumstances, we might file a claim against Uber or Lyft’s insurance, the at-fault driver’s liability insurance, your personal injury protection (PIP) policy, and/or another type of policy. Dealing with multiple insurance companies only makes your case more complicated. The last thing you need right now is to have to figure out who pays for what damages and confront those insurers on your own. Fortunately, you do not have to: our rideshare accident lawyers have done it before and are ready to do so again, for you.

We Also Take Rideshare Cases Involving Wrongful Death

If your loved one passed away after sustaining fatal injuries in an Uber or Lyft accident, we are deeply sorry for your loss. You are entitled to compensation after such a loss, but we understand if the last thing you want to think about right now is a legal action. Our Oceanside wrongful death lawyers will manage your entire case on your behalf, fighting for your family’s financial stability while you take the time to grieve and process your loved one’s passing.

Evidence We Use to Prove Rideshare Accident Cases

Every piece of evidence contributes to a larger, more complete narrative that tells how your accident happened, who was responsible, and what injuries you suffered. Here are some common forms of evidence that our rideshare lawyers often collect and why:
  • The Nassau County Police Department’s accident report, which provides basic information (e.g., the names of those involved) and the officer’s conclusions about how the crash happened
  • Photos and video footage that show the accident in real time, events leading up to the accident, or the accident’s aftermath
  • Statements from professionals who will talk about your medical prognosis, the likely sequence of events leading up to the crash, or your economic prospects
  • Medical records that discuss what injuries and symptoms you experienced and what treatments you will need now and in the future
  • Information from the rideshare app that tells us whether or not the driver had a passenger and if they were using the app (a potential source of distraction) at the time of the crash
Once we have built your case file, we will be able to tell you what the right course of action is in your particular case. Usually, we recommend filing an insurance claim against the at-fault party. Our Oceanside lawyers might also suggest suing Uber or Lyft or the other driver, depending on the circumstances. No matter what challenges you face, Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., will find ways to overcome them and fight for the outcome you deserve.
