How Langella & Langella Can Help Following A Ridesharing Accident

Ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft have completely transformed the way we travel. Now, transportation is more accessible and convenient than ever before. 

However, convenience doesn’t mean immunity from accidents. If a ridesharing accident on Long Island injures you or a loved one, the actions you take right after can greatly impact both your safety and the compensation you recover.

At Langella & Langella Personal Injury Attorneys, we’re here to guide you through the aftermath. With our expertise, you can focus on healing while we handle the legal legwork. 

Take Immediate Action After Ridesharing Accidents

First, if you've been in a ridesharing accident, get medical attention right away—even if your injuries seem minor. Your health should always be the top priority.

Once you’ve received emergency medical care, it’s best to speak with the police. They will create an official accident report, which can help your case later. 

Then, at the scene of the accident, start compiling evidence right away. This might include taking photos of the vehicle damage, skid marks, debris in the road, property damage, and/or any injuries. Additionally, gather contact information from all drivers and any witnesses. 

The final step is crucial, as it helps preserve crucial evidence that can support your claim later. 

Contact Us: Why You Need A Personal Injury Attorney

Unlike standard car accidents, rideshare collisions often involve complicated legal questions about insurance coverage, driver status, and liability. Without a dedicated attorney representing you, you can quickly get caught in a tug-of-war between the driver’s personal insurance and the ridesharing company’s insurer, as both sides may try to avoid responsibility.

This is exactly where Langella & Langella Personal Injury Attorneys come into play. Contact us as soon as possible after your ridesharing accident so we can start fighting for the justice you deserve. 

How Langella & Langella Can Help

Michael and Lindsay Langella are seasoned personal injury attorneys with a track record of success in ridesharing accident cases. Here’s how Langella & Langella supports clients every step of the way: 

1. We Handle The Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To

Once we collect the necessary evidence in your case, we handle all communication with the insurance providers. After requesting compensation for your damages, rideshare companies might try to deny responsibility in a few ways. They may claim the driver wasn’t “on the clock” or argue the accident falls under the driver’s personal policy. This is particularly true if there are questions regarding the driver’s status. 

But, don’t worry. We cut through the red tape and fight to make sure your claim is taken seriously. 

2. If Necessary, We’ll File A Lawsuit

If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we stand our ground. Langella & Langella Personal Injury Attorneys are prepared to file a lawsuit and represent you in court to deliver the justice and financial compensation you deserve. 

No two accidents are the same, so our team will build a strong case with a customized strategy. We’ll compile evidence, work with expert witnesses, if needed, and tailor our game plan to your unique case. 

Act Sooner Rather Than Later

In New York, you usually have up to three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the sooner we can begin preserving evidence, pursuing compensation, and protecting your rights.
