Experienced Uber Accident Lawyer in New York

According to research from MarketWatch, Uber rides have picked up twice as many fares as New York City yellow cabs this past year. But as the number of Uber rides increased, so has the number of Uber collisions. If you were involved in an automotive crash while riding in an Uber, the car accident lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP can help you collect compensation.

We are the trusted Uber accident lawyers serving New York. Our process begins with a free consultation, where our personal injury attorneys evaluate your claim and determine what legal action will deliver the most favorable outcome. From there, we do everything in our power to build a strong case and collect maximum compensation for your injuries.

Can I Sue If My Uber Crashes?

After any motor vehicle crash, you may be eligible to pursue personal injury damages against the liable party. Therefore, you can sue if your Uber was involved in a collision. But determining who to sue is tricky, which is why it’s best to partner with a skilled Uber accident lawyer.

Many people assume they should sue their Uber driver directly. However, there are often multiple parties involved in an Uber crash, and therefore multiple parties you may seek financial compensation from. They may include the Uber driver, Uber itself, another driver, construction companies, manufacturers, and municipalities such as The City of New York.

Our Uber accident attorneys are well-versed in New York rideshare laws, and we’re here to help you secure the settlement your injuries deserve. Our legal experts will carefully investigate your accident to establish liability and ensure all negligent parties are held accountable.

Our skilled personal injury attorneys have represented clients in cases involving car accidents, construction accidents, severe injuries, wrongful death, and other serious incidents.

What Causes Uber Crashes in New York City?

Like all motor vehicle accidents, Uber crashes can stem from a variety of sources. However, in most cases, the driver’s negligence plays a crucial role in the collision. Uber drivers are responsible for operating their vehicles in a safe manner. Reckless or careless actions prevent them from doing this, therefore breaching their duty of care.

Examples of Uber driver negligence that cause car accidents in New York City include: 

  • Intoxicated driving
  • Driving while fatigued
  • Reckless driving (such as speeding or tailgating)
  • Failing to yield, making unsafe lane changes, and driving against traffic flows
  • Driving too fast for weather or road conditions
  • Distracted driving
  • Failing to stop at traffic signals

Third parties can also contribute to New York Uber accidents. They include:

  • Another motor vehicle driver
  • Negligent pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists
  • New York bus drivers
  • Municipalities who neglect to maintain reasonably safe roadways
  • Vehicle part manufacturers

Establishing Liability for a New York Uber Collision

If you sustained serious injuries in an accident involving an Uber vehicle, you can seek compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. These types of claims allow car accident victims to recover damages from the party (or parties) responsible for the crash. 

In an Uber accident, there might be multiple parties at fault, and you deserve to receive a fair recovery from them all. To ensure you receive a successful verdict in your Uber accident claim, partner with the skilled personal injury lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP.

The Driver Must Have Been Using the Uber App

If the driver was logged into the app and accepted the ride request, Uber becomes liable for any accidents. Uber has a $1 million insurance policy to cover passenger injuries and damages, including wrongful death for any ride that does not originate in New York City.

But seeking a settlement from Uber is challenging, and the company will do everything to deny liability and prevent making a payment. Therefore, it’s vital to have a skilled and experienced injury lawyer fighting for your rights and presenting strong evidence to prove your damages.

What If the Driver Was Not Logged into the Uber App?

If your Uber driver was not using the Uber app at the time of the crash, you will not be able to seek financial compensation from Uber under any circumstances. Uber is only liable if the driver was working in some capacity. Drivers who are not logged into the app are considered “off duty,” and Uber will deny liability for any damages incurred during that time.

In this scenario, you will have to file a personal injury lawsuit against the Uber driver and their insurance provider to recover compensation for your damages.

New York Uber Accident Lawyers Fight for a Fair Settlement

After an Uber accident, our injury attorneys collect evidence to prove how the liable party breached their duty of care and caused your injuries. From there, we establish the full extent of your accident damages and prepare a settlement.

We help Uber accident victims recover compensatory damages following a collision. Some of the damages our attorneys demand from at-fault parties include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Disability
  • Reduced income
  • Emotional trauma
  • Loss of consortium
  • Pain and suffering
  • Personal property damages

Without a qualified law firm on your side, liable parties and their insurance companies will offer a settlement that is less than what you deserve. But our legal professionals do not stand for this. We don’t ask for fair compensation; we demand it. And if the insurance company fails to comply, we are not afraid to file a lawsuit with the necessary New York court.
