Types of Injuries the Result from Uber Accidents

Injuries in Uber accidents can range in severity. In order to recover damages for pain and suffering, you must have serious injuries as defined under New York law. Serious injuries can include:

Fractures or broken bones
Disfigurement
Dismemberment
Loss of a fetus
Limitation or loss of a body function or system
Any injury that impairs your ability to perform “customary daily activities” for 90 out of the 180 days following the accident (90/180 rule)

If you suffer any injuries, the first thing you should do is seek medical treatment. It can take hours or even days before you feel the true impact of the collision. Failure to seek medical attention immediately after the accident could hurt your case. Law enforcement can help get emergency medical personnel to the scene, but even if you are treated and released, you need to follow up with a physician. Always continue treatment and rehabilitation throughout the course of your lawsuit to ensure you are compensated for medical expenses.

It is essential to consult with an attorney to determine how to proceed with your claim. In addition to pain and suffering, you are entitled to receive compensation for basic economic loss such as medical treatments, rehabilitation or therapy, lost wages, and potential earnings.

UBER Accident FAQs

How long do I have to file a claim after an Uber accident?

Under New York law, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a claim for personal injury or property damage. In the case of wrongful death, you must bring an action for damages within two years of the decedent's death.

Who regulates rideshare companies in New York?

The New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC), regulates the city's Medallion (Yellow) taxi cabs, for-hire vehicles, commuter vans, and paratransit vehicles. High Volume For-Hire services such as Uber drivers and other app-based rideshare companies must follow specific rules put forward by the commission. Recently, the TLC implanted new driver pay rules and caps on new licenses issued to for-hire vehicles.

How much does it cost to hire an attorney?

Our attorneys accept cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no fees unless we win. We are paid through an agreed-upon portion of the recovery in your case, whether it is a settlement negotiated out of court or a verdict rendered through trial. All fees are transparent and agreed to before retaining our services.

What if I am at fault for the accident?

You should never make a statement regarding fault after an accident. Even if you are partially at fault for the accident, you might still be entitled to compensation. New York is a comparative negligence state meaning that partial fault does not bar your recovery. Your right to damages may be diminished based on your culpable conduct. Remember, any statements that you make can be used against you. Always consult with an attorney before making any written or recorded statements.
