New Castle Uber & Lyft Accident Attorneys - Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George P.C.

From Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George P.C. — New Castle Uber & Lyft Accident Attorneys explores the challenges and legal avenues for people involved in rideshare collisions. The episode delves into how Uber and Lyft accidents differ from regular car crashes, who might bear liability, the types of compensation available, and steps victims should take immediately after a rideshare incident.

In this podcast, we start by examining the link between rideshare apps and traffic trends, including how “deadheading” — when drivers travel without a passenger while waiting for a request — can contribute to congestion and increased accident risk. Drawing on the 2018 University of Chicago / Rice University study cited by the article, we highlight how rideshare services might correlate with a modest rise in overall traffic fatalities.

Next, we break down the legal complexities specific to rideshare crashes: how periods when a driver has turned on the app but hasn’t yet accepted a ride differ from periods when they’re actively transporting a passenger, and how coverage from Uber or Lyft’s insurance may or may not apply. We also walk through common injuries—whiplash, head trauma, fractures, soft tissue damage, emotional trauma—and describe what categories of damages victims can pursue: medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, loss of consortium, and even punitive damages in egregious cases.

Finally, we emphasize the importance of working with attorneys who deeply understand the nuances of rideshare accident claims. The episode encourages folks to act quickly: report the crash, document evidence, seek medical attention, preserve insurance details, and get legal counsel early on. With decades of experience in Western Pennsylvania and a track record of advocating for accident victims, the hosts draw inspiration from Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George P.C.’s dedication to personnel and persistence in litigation.
