Understanding Your Rights in an Uber Crash Lawsuit - Samantha Kucher

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Kucher Law Group - In this podcast, we discuss the critical aspects of "Understanding Your Rights in an Uber Crash Lawsuit" and how Brooklyn rideshare accident victims can seek compensation after an accident. With rideshare services like Uber being integral to New York’s transportation network, accidents involving these vehicles raise unique questions about liability, insurance, and legal recourse. Whether you’re an injured passenger, an Uber driver, or a third party, understanding how comparative negligence and New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) Article 44-B apply can help you take the right steps toward securing compensation.
We explore how Uber’s insurance policies provide varying levels of coverage based on the driver’s status—whether offline, logged into the app, or actively on a trip. This includes Uber’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, which protects passengers if another driver involved in the crash lacks sufficient insurance. Determining liability can involve multiple parties, from Uber drivers and other drivers to third parties such as pedestrians. The podcast highlights the importance of gathering evidence and understanding the nuances of shared liability to strengthen your case.
Additionally, we delve into the legal challenges of suing Uber directly, given its classification of drivers as independent contractors. Instead, most lawsuits focus on the negligent actions of the Uber driver or other at-fault parties. We discuss how Brooklyn rideshare accident lawyers can help victims recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and property damage by navigating these legal complexities and leveraging the protections offered under Uber’s group policy and New York’s laws.
