What to Expect After a Rideshare Accident

Here’s what our Long Island Uber & Lyft accident lawyers do from the moment you call:

1. Immediate Focus on Your Health

Whether your crash happened on Sunrise Highway, Hempstead Turnpike, Route 347, or a parkway, getting medical attention fast is critical. Early records strengthen your case and protect your long-term recovery.

2. Investigation of All Insurance Policies

Rideshare insurance depends entirely on the driver’s status:

• Off the app → personal auto insurance applies
• App on, awaiting a ride → limited rideshare coverage
• Passenger in vehicle / en route to pick-up → commercial policy (often up to $1M)

We pull app activity logs, trip data, and all available policies to ensure you access the highest coverage available.

3. Collection of Key Evidence

High-speed collisions on Long Island roads often require fast action. We secure:

• Police reports from Nassau or Suffolk
• Traffic camera or red-light footage
• Black-box/EDR data
• Witness statements
• Photos, skid marks, and accident scene details

Our local presence allows us to respond quickly—especially in cases where evidence disappears fast.

4. Case Valuation Backed by Medical Insight

High-speed Uber/Lyft crashes often cause:

• traumatic brain injuries
• spinal cord damage
• herniations
• complex fractures
• orthopedic injuries
• chronic pain injuries

Our medical background helps ensure your claim includes future care, rehab, lost earning capacity, and long-term effects—not just immediate bills.

5. Negotiation or Litigation—Whatever Your Case Demands

Defense teams in Nassau and Suffolk know our attorneys are fully prepared for litigation. Trial lawyer Michael Levitz, recognized as a Top 40 Under 40 National Trial Lawyer and appellate advocate, strengthens our courtroom strategy when insurers refuse to be fair.

What Passengers & Drivers Should Know

Rideshare cases on Long Island often involve:

• multiple vehicles
• conflicting stories
• disputed fault
• insurance coverage gaps
• high-speed impacts on major roadways
• limited camera coverage outside city centers

We handle all communication with insurers so you don’t risk saying anything that could be used to reduce your payout.

FAQs

Who pays my medical bills after an Uber or Lyft crash on Long Island?

Depending on the driver’s app status, coverage could come from:

• your own no-fault (PIP) insurance
• the Uber/Lyft commercial policy
• the driver’s personal auto insurer
• other at-fault drivers involved

We review all policies to identify every available source of compensation.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Most personal injury cases in New York must be filed within three years, but deadlines can be much shorter if a government vehicle or agency is involved.

How much does it cost to hire Ajlouny Injury Law?

$0 upfront. You only pay a fee if we win your case.

Do I need to report the accident to Uber or Lyft?

Yes, but your attorney should guide the process. Reporting incorrectly or giving too much detail can hurt your claim.

Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly for my accident?

Usually, you file against the driver and the rideshare insurance policy. Uber and Lyft are structured to avoid direct negligence claims, but there are exceptions (faulty background checks, unsafe driver retention, etc.).
