Injured in an Uber, Lyft, or Taxi Accident in NYC? I’ll Help You Get Compensated.
If you were injured in a rideshare or taxi crash—whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver—I can help. These cases are more complex than a typical car accident because they involve commercial insurance policies and multiple parties. I represent people across New York City who’ve been hurt in Uber, Lyft, and taxi crashes and make sure they’re not left guessing who’s responsible.
Passengers, Pedestrians & Other Drivers Can All File Claims
I help people who were injured as:
- Uber or Lyft passengers
- Taxi passengers
- Drivers hit by rideshare or taxi vehicles
- Pedestrians or cyclists hit by a rideshare driver
- Uber or Lyft drivers injured while working
If a rideshare vehicle caused your injury—or if you were riding in one when someone else caused the crash—let’s talk.
Uber & Lyft Accidents Involve Special Insurance Rules
Uber and Lyft both carry commercial insurance coverage, but it depends on what stage the ride was in:
- App Off – The driver’s personal policy applies
- App On, No Passenger
– Limited company coverage may apply
- Passenger in Vehicle or En Route – Up to $1 million in commercial coverage
Taxi cabs also carry commercial policies, but it can be a fight to get them to pay. I dig through every layer of coverage to make sure you’re not left paying for someone else’s mistake.
You Focus on Recovery—I’ll Handle the Legal Side
Here’s what I do when you call:
- Investigate who’s legally responsible
- Deal with Uber, Lyft, taxi companies & insurance adjusters
- Collect evidence like ride logs, camera footage & witness statements
- Document your injuries & expenses
- Push for a fair settlement—or file a lawsuit if needed
You’ll speak directly with me from day one. Not a staffer, not an operator.
Answers for Injured Passengers & Pedestrians
Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?
Usually, no. But you can file a claim against their commercial insurance coverage. I’ll help identify the correct policy based on when and how the crash happened.
What if the driver was waiting for a ride but didn’t have a passenger?
Uber and Lyft provide limited coverage during that time. I’ll check ride logs and app records to see what’s available.
I was a pedestrian hit by a rideshare driver—can I file a claim?
Yes. Whether the driver was working or not, you may be able to recover through their personal or commercial insurance.
I was hurt in a yellow cab accident—how does that work?
Taxis carry commercial insurance, but claims are often delayed or denied. I know how to work through their process and get results.
What if I don’t know who was at fault?
That’s okay. I’ll investigate the accident, request the rideshare or taxi records, and figure out who’s responsible.
