Uber Passenger Injuries in NY & NJ
Passengers inside an Uber or Lyft are covered by the company’s insurance when the ride is active. That means whether you were heading home, commuting to work, or traveling across state lines, you should not be left with unpaid medical bills or lost wages. We help rideshare passengers in both New York and New Jersey secure full compensation for their injuries.
Pedestrians Hit by Rideshare Vehicles
Rideshare drivers often cause harm to pedestrians by rushing to pick up passengers, stopping in crosswalks, or driving while distracted by the app. Pedestrians in New York and New Jersey have strong legal rights, but quick action is needed to identify which insurance policy applies. If you or a loved one were struck by an Uber or Lyft vehicle, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
