Ridesharing apps like Lyft and Uber have made commuting more accessible and convenient. However, these ridesharing apps are still risky for passengers as they don't make you immune to accidents and without a designated personal injury attorney, knowing how to seek compensation for your damage can be complicated.
If you or someone you love has been involved in a ride-sharing accident in Long Island, our personal injury attorneys at Langella & Langella can help.
We'll Stand by You Every Step of the Way
We Will Collaborate with the insurance company
Following the collection of the evidence, personal injury attorneys at Langella & Langella will present your case to the insurance company and request rightful compensation for your damages. It is expected that ridesharing service provider companies are often not willing to provide rightful compensation for your damages, especially if there are red flags pertaining to the driver's status.
Most ridesharing service providers take a step back at this point and wrongfully claim that the driver wasn’t working for them at that time. Moreover, they may also claim that the driver’s insurance should cover the accident. Hence, there may be a long debate between the ridesharing company insurer and the driver, so you must let your personal injury lawyer take care of all the communication so you can avoid the inconvenience of lengthy and baseless contentions.
We will Submit a Lawsuit (if Required)
If the insurance company fails to provide compensation for your damages, our personal injury attorneys will file a lawsuit for you and represent you in court if required.
You can take legal action for personal injuries within three years of the date of the accident. While it seems like a long time, the period for filling window can pass quickly if you don't take the necessary steps when required. Hence, it is best to reach out to a reliable personal injury attorney like Langella & Langella as soon as you can so we can start working on your case when in time.
