Determining Liability

Navigating the aftermath of an Uber accident with injuries that surpass your personal injury protection coverage can be intricate in no-fault states like New York and Florida. Fortunately, enlisting the expertise of a skilled Ridesharing accident lawyer can be your compass through this legal journey, helping you seek rightful compensation.

New York:

In New York, the no-fault insurance system mandates that individuals injured in car accidents turn to their own insurance policies for compensation, regardless of fault. Yet, if your injuries go beyond the scope of your PIP coverage, there are avenues to explore with your attorney:

Meeting The Serious Injury Threshold
New York law permits those with “serious injuries” to bypass the no-fault system and initiate a lawsuit against the responsible party. Your Uber accident attorney will assist you in establishing that your injuries meet the state’s criteria for severity, such as permanent disabilities, substantial disfigurement, or fractures.

Pursuing Third-Party Liability
If another driver is at fault, your attorney may advocate for a third-party liability claim against their insurance, enabling you to access compensation beyond your PIP coverage.

Florida:

Florida’s no-fault system requires victims to seek compensation from their own insurance providers. However, this system has limitations, and when injuries surpass PIP coverage, an attorney on our legal team can help explore additional compensation routes:

Meeting The Serious Injury Threshold
Florida also employs a serious injury threshold. If your injuries align with the state’s criteria, you can proceed with a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party, bypassing the no-fault system.

Incorporating cComparative Fault
Florida adheres to a pure comparative fault system, allowing you to seek compensation even if you share partial responsibility for the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced according to your percentage of fault.

Rideshare Company Liability
Rideshare giants like Uber provide liability coverage for their drivers while they are working. If the rideshare driver’s negligence led to the accident, your attorney might pursue compensation from the rideshare company’s insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Your insurance policy could include coverage for uninsured/underinsured motorists, which proves beneficial if the at-fault party lacks adequate insurance.
