"Hi everybody! Justin Blitz from the Blitz Law Group here.
I'm going to talk to you a little bit about what happens when you are involved in
a accident and you are injured and it concerns a ride share like a Uber or like a Lyft; these are very nuanced cases and you really need to have an attorney who is an expert in ride share
accident cases.
There are many many tricky things that you need to know about and that a practicing
attorney needs to have had experience with to succeed in going against these large ride share companies like Lyft or Uber or any of the ride-sharing services companies out there and that includes how to avoid the pitfalls of potentially arbitration verses having your day in a courthouse.
Other issues that you might want to be concerned about is how do you keep the ride share company involved in the litigation. Was the ride share company have any responsibility for causing the accident; whether the Uber or the Lyft or whatever it was; whether the the driver was distracted; whether the driver is deemed to be an independent contractor as opposed to an employee. These will all have implications on the success of your case and the likelihood that you will be able to be compensated from the available money, whether it's insurance or not from those particular ride share companies.
If you are involved in any sort of accident with a ride share company make sure that you find an attorney who has had success in litigating and being successful in settling or going to trial against any rideshare company. thank you very much."
