While there have been dozens of high-profile media stories, finding exact numbers on Uber crashes and Lyft accidents can be difficult. Why?
Because many municipalities simply don’t record such data. And of course, Uber and Lyft aren't reporting their data publicly.
But in 2015 the Taxi and Limousine Commission of New York City conducted an audit of crash data in the Big Apple and found Uber drivers were five times more likely to be involved in fatal car crashes than licensed taxi drivers.
And at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers, we've helped numerous Uber and Lyft accident clients since 2009.
Protecting yourself after an Uber accident starts the minute the dust settles. And there are a number of things you may be tempted to do that could potentially hurt your ability to make a claim that you should be aware of:
If you've been involved in an Uber or Lyft accident, it's imperative you speak to an Uber accident lawyer as soon as possible to protect the value of your claim. Witnesses vanish, evidence disappears, and paperwork gets lost. Get in touch so we can help protect the value of your claim starting today.
We recently handled a case against Uber where they would not take responsibility for the accident. We worked to place liability on their driver, resulting in our client getting a $500,000 settlement from Uber's insurance carrier.
Sally Morin and her team were instrumental in resolving my personal injury case (doored by a car while biking, resulting in spine and elbow injuries that required two surgeries). They held my hand as I traversed car insurance and personal health insurance claims over the course of two years. Sally, Lauren and co. worked tirelessly to resolve my case and protected my settlement to assure I recovered enough for future medical expenses related to my injury. Sally and her team will fight for your personal interests. I cannot recommend them enough.
I was seriously hit by a car while biking in San Francisco. While lying in the hospital I picked Sally's name out of a list of lawyers recommended by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, and I'm so glad I did!
Sally, Lauren and Janai were a pleasure to work with while I negotiated the difficult emotional, physical, and legal aspects of my case. Due to extended medical care and some lawyer shuffling on the insurance side my case took over a year and a half to settle, but I never once felt like I wasn't their top priority during that entire time. Every email was answered quickly, and Sally always took the time to educate me about what certain legal terms and steps meant. I felt fully included in the whole process, and also really well taken care of.
In the end my case settled at a really great number, and I've almost completely healed from my injuries. It's been a long process and I'm being completely honest when I say that I'm not sure I could have done it without Sally and her team. They RULE.
Earlier this year I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle in downtown SF. I tried to to figure things out on my own but after all the stress of insurance companies I came on to yelp to find an attorney. This is how I came across Sally Morin, and thank god I did!! They truly cared about my case and fought for me the entire way through. Most importantly, they negotiated my medical and got me the settlement I deserved. They told me multiple times how much of an easy client I was to work with but that was a result of their hard work and communication. Thanks again Sally Morin you helped me make the best out of an unpleasant situation!!!
