Hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash?

Hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash? From the 14th St busway and Times Square gridlock to the FiDi canyons around Wall Street and the cab-heavy lanes by Atlantic Terminal, New York’s rideshare traffic is relentless. Mason Law PLLC guides passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers after collisions near LaGuardia or JFK, the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, or the Williamsburg Bridge. Rideshare claims are different: multiple insurers, app status questions, and fast-moving adjusters. We untangle coverage, preserve app and dashcam data, and pursue the maximum recovery. If your Uber driver cut across a bike lane or your Lyft was rear-ended on the BQE, our team knows how to frame liability across car accidents and crosswalk pedestrian accidents to protect your rights.

How rideshare collisions happen

  • Left turns across bike lanes and crosswalks: Quick lefts near Kent Ave or Houston St often clip cyclists and pedestrians.
  • Distracted or rushed pickups/drop-offs: Double-park stops around Fulton Mall or Chelsea side streets push riders into harm’s way.
  • Rear-ends and lane changes in BQE/Atlantic Ave traffic: Stop-and-go flow hides sudden slowdowns that trigger chain-reaction crashes.

From Uber to Lyft, accidents happen. We make sure you’re not alone, pursuing maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.

Insurance & liability basics

  • Understanding coverage by trip status (app on/off, en route, passenger onboard)Coverage can scale from personal auto limits to high-limit rideshare policies depending on the driver’s app status.
  • Stacking liability (driver, rideshare policy, adverse vehicles)We identify every layer—from the rideshare carrier to another at-fault driver—to avoid leaving money on the table.
  • Evidence checklist (trip records, dashcam, CCTV, 911 audio)Request trip receipts, preserve driver dashcam, and secure nearby CCTV, especially around bridges, tunnels, and airport terminals.

Injuries and damages

  •  Head/neck/back injuries; fractures; psychological trauma: Whiplash, herniations, broken bones, and anxiety after a violent crash are common.
  •  Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering: We document treatment, time off work, and daily limitations for a full valuation.

Our approach to Uber/Lyft claims

  • Rapid evidence preservation and notice to carriers: We send preservation letters immediately to stop app and video data from disappearing.
  • Negotiation with corporate insurers; trial readiness in Kings/NY County: We negotiate firmly and prepare to file in the proper venue if carriers undervalue your injuries.
  • Coordinating care and documentation for settlement value: Consistent medical proof and clear economic losses move cases forward.
