Uber Accident Lawyer Brooklyn

NYC Uber accident lawyer Alexander Karasik, Esq. represents injured Uber riders, Uber drivers, and people hit by a rideshare car across Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan, and New Jersey. An Uber crash works differently from an ordinary car accident. Which insurance pays depends on what the driver was doing in the app at the moment of the collision, and the company's insurer is quick to point the claim somewhere else. Alexander Karasik, Esq. pins down the right policy, proves who is at fault, and pursues the full value of your injuries. The first case review is free, and you pay nothing unless he recovers money for you.

When you are involved in an Uber accident, it is crucial to understand who is responsible for compensating you for your injuries. Fortunately, New York has mandated that Uber carry an insurance policy to provide compensation for accident victims. The specifics of this policy vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident.

Driver Has Accepted a Ride Request

Firstly, if the Uber driver has accepted a ride request and is on their way to pick up the passenger, Uber’s insurance policy includes coverage for:

Driver is Logged into Uber, but Hasn’t Accepted a Ride

Even if the Uber driver is logged into the app but hasn’t accepted a ride at the time of the accident, there is still a limited insurance policy in effect. This policy offers the same coverage mentioned above. In either case, it is essential to consult an experienced Uber accident lawyer who can help you navigate the intricacies of the insurance claims process.

Driver is Logged out of Uber

However, if the Uber driver is logged out of the app at the time of the accident, the responsibility for compensation falls solely on their personal insurance policy. This can make the claims process more complex, as different insurance providers may handle such cases differently. In such situations, having a skilled and seasoned Uber accident lawyer by your side becomes even more crucial to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

An Uber crash can leave you with medical bills, lost wages, and an injury that changes daily life, while three different insurance policies argue over who is responsible. Alexander Karasik, Esq. handles that fight directly. He establishes what the driver was doing in the app, identifies which policy applies, and presses the claim for the full value of your injuries instead of the first number an adjuster offers.

Time is of the essence when it comes to filing a claim for your Uber accident injuries. In New York, there is a limited time window within which you must initiate your claim. Failure to do so within this timeframe can result in the loss of your right to seek compensation. To ensure you meet all necessary deadlines and to maximize your chances of securing a fair settlement, it is vital to seek the guidance of an experienced Uber accident lawyer as soon as possible.

A first lawyer passing on your Uber case does not mean it has no value. Some firms run the numbers in a short phone call and pass before anyone has pulled the rideshare trip record or confirmed which policy was active. A driver who was between rides, an injury that surfaced days later, or coverage that looks too small can all make a case look harder than it is. Alexander Karasik, Esq. reviews crashes other firms turned away, confirms the driver's app status, and identifies the insurance that actually applies. The first review costs nothing, and you only pay if he recovers money for you.

It depends on what the Uber driver was doing in the app. If the driver had accepted a ride, Uber's policy provides $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident in bodily injury coverage plus $25,000 in property damage. If the driver was logged in but had not yet accepted a ride, a more limited Uber policy applies. If the driver was logged out, the claim falls to the driver's personal insurance. Alexander Karasik, Esq. confirms the driver's status and identifies the policy that actually covers your injuries.
