WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’M INJURED BY AN UBER VEHICLE IN NEW YORK CITY?

By Uber Accident-Jacoby & Meyers, LLP · 2018-03-16T07:22:37.000Z

Drivers for Uber and Lyft are not employees of the companies that they drive for. They are independent contractors, also called third-party contractors, and as such, it may be very difficult to sue these companies if a rideshare driver is involved in a vehicle accident. These companies can deny liability for collisions involving their drivers because they are not technically employees. If you have been involved in an Uber or Lyft-related accident, the best course of action is to call an experienced and knowledgeable personal injury attorney, like the ones at Jacoby & Meyers, LLP NY , who understands the legalities involved in helping you get compensated for your injuries. https://goo.gl/P4knVE
