Rideshare Accident Attorney in Manhattan

Rideshare accidents commonly occur due to the hectic traffic and the unique challenges of urban driving. Factors like congested streets, distracted driving, and pressure to keep tight schedules have all played a role in these accidents. Additionally, the city's diverse weather conditions and frequent road construction can increase the risk of accidents for rideshare services like Uber and Lyft. Other common causes include:

• Lack of proper driver screening during the hiring process
• Drivers failing to yield to other drivers or pedestrians
• Drivers operating rideshare vehicles while drunk
• Driving over the speed limit

If you or your beloved has been involved in a rideshare accident, always remember this rule: safety first. If you suffered serious injuries call emergency services immediately. As you wait for their arrival, follow these steps:

• Document the scene with photos and videos as long as you’re safe and medically able.
• Gather contact information from all involved parties.
• Do not admit liability, even if you feel partly responsible.
• Gather the contact information of anyone who might have witnessed the accident.
