What to know about rideshare accident cases in Nassau County
Coverage tiers based on app status
Tier 1 (app off): driver's personal auto policy only. Tier 2 (app on, no ride): Uber/Lyft contingent $50K/$100K/$25K. Tier 3 (en route to passenger or trip active): $1M+ liability + UM/UIM. The crash moment matters.
Driver and platform are both potential defendants
Most rideshare cases name the driver AND the platform (Uber Technologies or Lyft Inc.). Even though drivers are 'independent contractors,' the company's commercial policy is the deep pocket. We pursue both.
As a passenger — strongest claim profile
If you were a passenger, you have NO comparative fault in 99% of cases. The TNC's $1M+ policy applies. Settlements are typically faster and higher than driver-side or pedestrian claims.
Telematics and app data are critical evidence
Uber and Lyft preserve trip data, GPS, acceleration/braking, and app interaction logs. We send preservation letters within days to lock in this evidence before it's purged.
Nassau County venue and filing
Most Nassau personal injury claims are filed at Nassau County Supreme Court at 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola. We know the local court calendars, the assigned justices, and the local rules.
