Call Us TodayIn cities such as Union that have expansive suburban neighborhoods, parks, recreational facilities, schools, and businesses, accessible and affordable transportation services such as Uber and Lyft are important to many locals. As such, Uber and Lyft have grown considerably in popularity in Union over the last few years. However, rideshare vehicles are often involved in accidents, to the point that the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission’s Transportation Network Company (TNC) Safety and Regulatory Act was developed to protect the rights and well-being of rideshare users. If you or a loved one was involved in a ridesharing accident of any kind, contact an experienced Union Uber accident lawyer at Drazin & Warshaw today.
Figures from the NHTSA and the CDC show that motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Approximately 40,000 people lose their lives in traffic accidents of different kinds every year. The figures for non-fatal accidents are equally alarming, with almost six million accidents occurring annually on US roadways. The total costs of these accidents are estimated to be about $430 billion every year, with much of the burden falling squarely on injured victims and their families.
Some of the injuries that you can seek compensation for after a ridesharing traffic accident include the following:
The treatment costs for some of these injuries—especially brain and spinal cord injuries—can easily exceed $100,000 per case.
Other losses and damages that you may be able to include in your insurance claim for a ridesharing accident include the following:
If your accident was caused by the carelessness, negligence, or actions of another person, you shouldn’t have to pay for these losses or keep paying for your medical care. For assistance with investigating your case and determining whether you have grounds for a personal injury or damages claim, contact a reputable Lyft accident attorney in Union, NJ at Drazin & Warshaw today for a free initial case evaluation.
Uber, Lyft, and their insurers are for-profit businesses. They may have cause for denying, limiting, and/or restricting the damages and/or compensation payouts they make to you, even if they are legally obligated to compensate you. As a result, they are sometimes quick to offer lowball settlements to injured victims, hoping they can wrap up the case and move on.
Unfortunately, the injuries and damages outlined above can last a lifetime. If you accept a settlement, you may lose the right to seek additional compensation even if you suffer accident-related expenses in the future, such as therapy, rehabilitation, or surgical costs.
You should speak with a qualified Union Uber accident lawyer at Drazin & Warshaw so that we can:
Each qualified Lyft accident attorney in Union, NJ at Drazin & Warshaw understands just how complex ridesharing accident cases can be and the kinds of obstacles that you may face when seeking the compensation you are entitled to from the at-fault parties whose actions caused the accident.
We will thoroughly investigate your case to gather the evidence needed to build a sound and persuasive legal case. We have reliable subject matter experts whose testimony can be used to show that Uber, Lyft, an insurance company, or another driver is responsible for your accident and how much you are fairly entitled to in terms of compensation.
For many, doing this is easier said than done because determining when your accident occurred and what rules and insurance limits apply to your case requires a deep understanding of relevant laws and Uber and Lyft’s compensation policies, not to mention the personal injury compensation limits and state-mandated policies that apply to personal injury cases. For this reason, we encourage you to speak with a knowledgeable and experienced Union Uber accident lawyer at our firm today so that we can review your case, walk you through what you need to know about filing a claim, and help you seek the compensation you deserve with a seasoned Lyft accident attorney in Union, NJ in your corner.
How long your claim takes will depend on whether the other party contests liability for the accident, how severe your injuries are, and the amount (and quality) of the case evidence available. If Uber or Lyft and their driver accept fault for your accident and your damages are easy to quantify, then your claim can potentially be resolved in a matter of months. If, however, the other party denies any responsibility for your accident and contests your claims, or if there are any disputes as to the severity of your injuries or the degree of your losses, or if other factors come into play (such as a claim from Uber or Lyft that the driver was not covered for whatever reason by Uber’s or Lyft’s insurance), then the claim can take anywhere from several months to a few years to be resolved.
Most personal injury and car accident cases are handled on a contingency fee basis by professional attorneys. This means that you do not have to pay anything unless a reputable Union Uber accident lawyer at our firm recovers compensation for you. Personal injury lawyers receive a predetermined percentage of the settlement or payout clients receive as legal fees, but only if they win the case. This means there is little risk to you in hiring a reliable and well-respected law firm to handle your case on your behalf. Call us today to learn more about how we can help you with your personal injury claim.
