New York is one of the busiest rideshare hubs in the world, with thousands of Uber, Lyft, and yellow taxi vehicles crisscrossing the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island daily. But when accidents happen—whether you’re a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver—the legal path to compensation can be anything but straightforward. At Leitner Warywoda, we help victims of rideshare and taxi accidents understand their rights and pursue maximum recovery.

​

Who’s Liable in a Rideshare Accident?

 

Rideshare accident claims are more complex than standard car crashes. Determining liability often means navigating a maze of insurance policies: the driver’s personal coverage, the rideshare company’s commercial policy, and other involved motorists. Uber and Lyft offer up to $1 million in coverage depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash, but securing that compensation can be difficult without aggressive legal representation. Our firm understands the nuances of rideshare law in New York and how to cut through the red tape.

Injured as a Passenger, Pedestrian, or Driver

 

Whether you were a rideshare passenger hurt in a collision, a pedestrian struck by a distracted taxi driver, or another motorist hit by an on-duty Uber, Leitner Warywoda is here to help. We investigate the full picture—driver logs, GPS data, witness statements—and hold negligent parties accountable. Victims of these crashes often suffer serious injuries such as head trauma, broken bones, spinal injuries, or emotional distress, all of which deserve fair compensation.
