Louisiana Uber & Lyft Accident Attorneys
Rely on Our Experienced & Trial-Tested Legal Team
Uber and Lyft are two popular ridesharing companies that have completely revolutionized the transportation industry. By downloading a user-friendly mobile app, Louisiana residents and tourists can instantly access a convenient and cost-effective transportation option.
However, companies sometimes cut corners while they evolve into successful corporate giants. In recent years, both Uber and Lyft have been hiring countless full-time and part-time drivers to meet the growing needs of their customers.
Some of these drivers are inexperienced and poor drivers. As a result, the number of annual rideshare accidents increases every year.
When a rideshare driver is responsible for a car accident, injured passengers may have trouble recovering the compensation their injuries warrant.
If you need help with a claim, contact the Louisiana Uber & Lyft accident lawyers at Plotkin, Vincent & Jaffe.

Recovering Damages After a Rideshare Accident
Motor vehicle accidents may lead to devastating physical and cognitive injuries that necessitate expensive and ongoing medical treatments. Many victims rely on compensation to alleviate their mounting injury-related debts.
You may be able to file a claim against the following negligent entities:
- The rideshare driver
- The third-party at-fault driver
- The ridesharing company
Unfortunately, while Uber and Lyft both proudly promote $1 million liability policies, their insurance providers make it difficult for accident victims to recover. These companies sometimes argue that their drivers are not employees, but “independent contractors.”
This doesn’t, however, mean that suing these companies is impossible. You may even be eligible for a ridesharing company’s uninsured/underinsured insurance coverage. In which case, you may be able to recover damages if the at-fault driver’s insurance policy doesn’t provide you with the damages you require.
At Plotkin, Vincent & Jaffe, our trial-tested lawyers in New Orleans can thoroughly investigate the accident and negotiate with insurance companies and defense lawyers on your behalf.
If necessary, we can even handle your case in court to ensure that you’re awarded a settlement or judgment that maximizes your recovery.
