With Uber taking dominant control of New York’s rideshare market, local firms like Auto Accident Law Group are making new strides in their efforts to support those who’ve been injured by reckless or negligent drivers.
-- Ridesharing is on the rise in New York State - and while such services offer convenience for locals, travelers, tourists, and commuters alike, some unintended effects include a higher rate of traffic collisions, according to law firms like Auto Accident Law Group. Those firms now act in support of such victims.
The last year alone saw an alarming 21% spike in pedestrian fatalities, even after New York City expanded its automated speed camera enforcement program. Firms like Auto Accident Law Group have noted the increased presence of ridesharing vehicles like Uber on streets across the state - drawing a connection between higher volumes of traffic and catastrophic, even fatal, disasters.
While ridesharing companies proclaim to decrease traffic congestion rates, studies have observed the opposite effect in some cases - particularly in largely populated metro areas. Such research largely blames the instant accessibility of ridesharing apps, effectively persuading commuters to book rides while eschewing greener alternatives, like public transport.
As a direct result, law firms point out that with more vehicles on the roads comes a higher probability of accidents, and in turn, injuries. Firms such as Auto Accident Law Group have seen firsthand the consequences of, in hindsight, ill-advised Uber trips - to the tune of lofty medical bills and long, arduous roads to recovery.
Yet, victims who are hoping to pursue their legal right to fair injury compensation are frequently hamstrung in their efforts, say industry experts. The biggest barrier is usually the murky question of liability, made all the more complex by disputes on whether or not Uber drivers were on duty at the time of the accident.
This can complicate matters exponentially in lawsuit situations, particularly given New York’s status as a no-fault state. While it’s mandatory for drivers in these states to possess PIP coverage, targeting additional or non-economic damages to compensate for more serious injuries will require private legal action.
Auto Accident Law Group and other firms are now moving to ensure that Uber accident victims have access to professional guidance as they weigh the benefits of such action. By broadening their legal services in a wider capacity, these teams are actively giving New Yorkers the power to recover substantial amounts that take pain and suffering, scarring, or mental anguish into account.
