Have You Been Injured In An Uber, Lyft, Juno Or Other Ride-Hailing Accident?

New York is known for its yellow taxicabs. Over the past few years, however, app-based ride-hailing companies have increased in popularity and use. As a result, the number of Uber and Lyft drivers has multiplied substantially and there have been more car accidents as a result.

If you or someone you care about has been injured while riding with an Uber or Lyft driver or has been struck by such a vehicle, then you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering and loss of income.

Common Causes Of Uber And Lyft Accidents

Like most car accidents, many things cause ride-hailing accidents, including:

• Speeding and reckless driving
• Distracted driving
• Texting or talking while driving
• Use of the ride-hailing app while driving
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Driver fatigue
• Failure to signal or yield the right of way
• Improper turns
• Inexperienced drivers

If you have endured a significant injury, then regardless of the cause of the accident, you may be entitled to compensation.
New York Recently Required Uber, Lyft And Other App-Based Ride-Hailing Companies To Increase Insurance Coverage
In 2018, New York state passed a new insurance requirement for ride-hailing companies to increase their insurance amounts.

• $1 million minimum for when a rider is in the vehicle
• This coverage amount is for all customer trips, which begin from the moment the driver accepts the trip on the app and end when the customer is dropped off at the destination.
• Minimum of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per occurrence when the driver is logged into the app’s digital network and receiving transportation requests for pick-ups
• Uber provides additional coverage above these minimum requirements of $75,000 per person and $150,000 per occurrence when the driver is logged into the app network, but hasn’t accepted a customer trip yet. Uber’s coverage is $1.25 million for drivers once they accept a trip on the app to the time the passenger is dropped off).
