Rideshare Accident Injuries and Liability

The law concerning accidents involving Uber and Lyft are constantly changing nationwide as States grapple with this growing rideshare industry. Currently, New York law requires that rideshare drivers obtain additional liability insurance beyond what is required of traditional taxi and for-hire vehicles.

As independent contractors, rideshare drivers must still drive in a safe manner. Navigating your way through complex insurance policies is not something you want to do when severely injured. Medical procedures, appointments, and more leave you little time and energy for taking on a challenging legal case.

At Dansker & Aspromonte Associates, our injury lawyers understand how to read policies and apply liability to those responsible for your harm. We work with you to determine what happened by learning your version of events.

We then apply our newfound knowledge to police reports, accident scene photos, and eyewitness statements. It is this combination of information that helps us identify those liable for your damages.

Examples of Possible Negligence

Background checks have long served as a talking point for those who question rideshare safety. From continuous background checks by Lyft to yearly ones by Uber, both companies face scrutiny for not doing more to keep passengers safe.

In addition to criminal convictions for assaults and other crimes, some drivers with traffic convictions slip through the cracks. A rideshare driver with no criminal or traffic convictions may still take dangerous chances behind the wheel, including:

• Driving while distracted by scenery or devices
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Driving aggressively by speeding or cutting other drivers off in traffic
• Driving while tired due to a lack of rest or an undiagnosed sleep disorder

A catastrophic injury such as a brain or spinal cord injury can result in significant life challenges for you and your family. From specialized medical care to home modifications and more, the changes are generally expensive yet necessary.

If you endured injuries in a rideshare accident, a Staten Island Uber and Lyft rideshare lawyer could represent you with a personal injury claim and lawsuit. We only collect our fee if we win your case. Call Dansker & Aspromonte Associates now for a free case evaluation without delay at (212) 540-2987.
