NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) For-Hire Vehicles — including all Uber and Lyft rides in the five boroughs — carry $1.5 million in liability coverage. That's much more than personal-auto policies. We make the rideshare company answer for the ride.

Trip receipt and timestamp, driver TLC license status, rideshare-app status at moment of crash (Period 1/2/3), and the vehicle's TLC insurance certificate.
Rideshare insurers (Progressive Commercial, James River) negotiate hard but coverage is real. We open the claim against the right policy.
Rideshare liability disputes often turn on driver app-status. We subpoena the trip data when needed.
Every case is different. The recoverable damages depend on your injuries, the insurance available, and the facts of your case.
NYC TLC rules require all For-Hire Vehicles to carry $1.5 million in combined-single-limit liability coverage during all three Uber/Lyft periods. That's the policy we sue. (Outside NYC: $1.25M nationwide Uber/Lyft policy during active rides.)
Rideshare personal-injury claims follow standard NY 3-year SOL (New York civil procedure rule 214). Wrongful death: 2 years from date of death.
If you were a rider in the Uber/Lyft, you're covered no matter who caused the crash. Driver fault, other-vehicle fault, or 50/50 — the TLC policy responds.
We answer 24/7. Free consultation. No fee unless we win.
