From K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. – What to Do If Your Uber Crashes guides listeners through the complex aftermath of a rideshare accident, whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver. This episode walks through key steps, potential legal obstacles, and how liability is determined under New York law. You’ll hear clear explanations of insurance tiers, fault rules, and how to protect your rights after a crash.
In the second segment, we explore Determining Liability in an Uber Crash — how it depends on the driver’s status in the Uber app (offline, waiting for requests, or en route) and which insurance policies may apply. We break down Uber’s contingent liability insurance, personal auto insurance, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, giving real‑world examples that clarify how coverage shifts based on context.
Next, we cover Steps to Take After an Accident: ensuring safety, filing a police report, preserving evidence, notifying Uber and your insurer, and seeking medical attention — all actions that support your case. We also delve into Comparative Negligence under New York law and how fault can be shared when multiple parties — the Uber driver, another motorist, or even a pedestrian — may bear responsibility.
Finally, the episode discusses Legal Support & Next Steps. We talk about how K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. can assist with rideshare accident claims, navigating VTL Article 44‑B in New York, and advocating for compensation for injuries, property damage, lost wages, and pain & suffering.
