Rideshare vehicles offer a modern and seemingly better alternative to commuters or passengers in the city of New York. Cases of personal injury involving these vehicles are rising and Richard Kenny law is handling more cases like these in efforts to promote safety among NYC residents.
Rideshare companies like Lyft and Uber have recently become the rage with people looking for more comfortable or even prestigious means of transport. A rideshare vehicle is contacted through a branded app unique to a company like Uber. This, when compared to hailing a taxi on the street is a more civilized and even safer way of getting a ride. In the famous streets of New York City, taxis are still popular ways of getting fast and easy rides from point A to point B, but rideshare companies are upstaging taxi companies in large segments of the demographics who prefer a paid ride rather than drive their own vehicles.
A rideshare vehicle and any person who rides it is probably safer, but it all depends on intangible factors. Accidents are accidents, and there are so many things that can go wrong on a ride with an Uber driver and car. Regulations in NYC are newer when it comes to operations for rideshare companies, plus there are only a smaller number of cases involving personal injury suits against the company and similar outfits. This means that the law adjusts to the specific details of a case here, and it might be argued as a car accident case or a passenger injury case, depending on the lawyer or attorney anyone has. The case type is new but the cases involving rideshare vehicles are piling up.
The Law Firm of Richard M. Kenny, which specializes in personal injury cases resulting from accidents monitors developments in this field. It has found, for instance, that since 2016, the number of personal injury cases involving rideshare vehicles have risen. 2016 saw more than 1,600 cases in New York. In May-June of that year, five fatal accidents involving Uber black cars were recorded, while statistics for yellow cabs in the same period logged zero in accidental deaths.
