How a Westbury Uber Accident Attorney Can Help You
You don’t have to let an insurance agent bully you into accepting a tiny settlement offer. A Westbury car accident lawyer from Levine And Wiss can review your situation and explain the steps you should take to get fair compensation for the injuries you sustained in an Uber crash. We can:
Investigate the Crash and Collect Evidence
When you hire a Westbury personal injury lawyer from Levine And Wiss, we’ll investigate the wreck and gather evidence like:
- An accident report from the Nassau County Police Department or another law enforcement agency
- Your medical records
- Eyewitness statements
- Dashcam videos
- Traffic camera footage
- Surveillance videos from nearby businesses
- Bodycam footage from police officers who arrived at the scene
- Information from the Uber app
Our law firm will begin the investigative process right away to collect evidence before it disappears.
Determine Liability
Whether it was your Uber driver, another driver, or somebody else entirely, we’ll figure out who caused the crash and pursue the compensation you’re entitled to from their insurance company.
Note that New York requires Uber to carry higher insurance levels than much of the rest of the country. These higher insurance levels mean a settlement could cover more of your losses.
However, it’s Uber that has to carry these higher policies, not the rideshare driver. Therefore, you may only have a chance to seek compensation through these policies if we can prove that Uber holds responsibility for your crash.
Negotiate With Insurance Companies
We can negotiate with the liable party’s insurance company while you focus on recuperating from your injuries. Insurance adjusters may try to bully you into accepting the smallest settlement possible, but they know we won’t settle for less, making them more likely to offer a fair settlement for your damages.
Take Your Case to Trial
If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we’re comfortable taking your case to court and convincing a jury you deserve every dollar of compensation you’re asking for.
Pursue Maximum Compensation
Whether through a trial or a settlement offer from the insurance company, we’ll fight hard to get the compensation you deserve for the pain and suffering and other losses you’ve endured because of an Uber crash. We take the losses faced by accident victims seriously, and we’re ready to get to work on your claim immediately.

How Much Compensation Could You Get After an Uber Crash?
The compensation you receive after an Uber crash will depend on various factors, including the extent of your losses. Our team can work tirelessly to pursue the funds you need to pay for your:
Economic Damages
Covering things that can be added up on a calculator using receipts or bills, economic damages may include money for:
- Hospital bills
- An ambulance ride
- Medications
- Physical therapy
- Medical equipment, like crutches or a wheelchair

- Emotional trauma
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Lost enjoyment of life

Punitive Damages
In rare situations, a judge may award punitive damages if the responsible party in your crash showed gross negligence, like if your Uber driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time. To find out how much your case may be worth, schedule a free consultation with Levine And Wiss today.
New York’s No-Fault Insurance and Uber Crash Claims
New York’s laws on no-fault insurance (under Regulation 68) mean that you must seek compensation through your personal injury protection (PIP) policy first after an accident. These laws also apply to Uber crashes, even if you were a passenger.
You can only seek compensation from the liable party if your crash resulted in a “serious injury.” Our team at Levine And Wiss can tell you more about New York’s definition of a serious injury and explain your options for handling your claim.
