Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer NYC

NYC has one of the highest concentrations of Uber and Lyft drivers in the country. With hundreds of thousands of rideshare trips completed every day in the city, accidents are inevitable — and the legal questions they raise are more complex than a typical two-car collision.

Unlike a standard car accident, rideshare crashes can involve multiple insurance policies: the driver's personal auto insurance, the rideshare company's commercial policy, and potentially uninsured motorist coverage. The applicable policy depends on whether the driver was actively transporting a passenger, waiting for a match, or off the app entirely.

Both Uber and Lyft maintain $1 million liability policies when a driver is actively carrying a passenger. Understanding which policy applies — and how to maximize your claim — is where an experienced attorney makes a real difference.
