About this article

Licatesi Law Group, LLP publishes these articles to help readers understand common injury, insurance, and litigation issues in New York and New Jersey. This information is not legal advice. If you have a potential claim, speak with an attorney about the facts of your case.

Insurance Isn’t Always on Your Side

Even though Lyft advertises a $1 million insurance policy, that doesn’t mean compensation is easy to receive. The goal of insurance companies is to protect their financial interests. Low settlement offers, denials, and delays are common, particularly when the injured party lacks proper legal representation.

Injuries from rideshare accidents can range from minor to severe and may escalate over time. For example, a sore neck may not see immediate resulting injuries after an accident, until days later, when it becomes a herniated disc that requires months of treatment. That is why it is important to always seek the proper medical treatment, and also be backed by a knowledgeable legal team to avoid accepting unfair settlements proposed by insurance carriers

When you’re recovering from an accident, the last thing you need is to try to figure out the confusing legal system on your own. A skilled attorney assists you in handling the claim, the communication with the insurance companies, and, if necessary, takes your case to court, while you focus on getting better. These cases often depend on fine details and strict deadlines, which is why acting promptly matters.
