East Village Manhattan NYC Injury Lawyer Uber & Lyft Rideshare Accident Attorney

May 25, 2020

Rideshares may seem better to use to go around NYC. However personal injury cases are rising, with Richard Kenny law handling more personal injury cases involving rideshare vehicles.

New York, United States - May 25, 2020 /PressCable/ —

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. It is no small matter for RMK firm, which is zealous in protecting the safety and injury or damage compensation rights for the general public in New York.

There is always a way to know which person is liable or what vehicle has generated liability in any accident. RMK law firm studies the details closely for any case it is involved in, with outstanding lawyers who are experienced in handling cases involving personal injury accidents. It is well-known in the local legal scene, which is big enough as it involves the biggest city in the country. This means a firm of lawyers with a total combined experience involving thousands of cases and decades of practice in the field of personal injury. Client five star reviews are standard for RMK.

“Everyone deserves equal treatment under the law. We take each client’s injury personally, and work tirelessly on their behalf to secure fair compensation and a better quality of life. Our firm prides itself on our client communication; we believe in first names and cell phone numbers not case numbers and call-me-laters.” This is from Richard M. Kenny himself, and it is a message of commitment to the legal rights of all New Yorkers. When anyone calls (212) 421-0300 or visit RMKInjuryLaw.com he gets a standard free consultation from a lawyer or lawyers assigned to his case.

ACL 2: Tai Po braced to face ex-England junior player on roll as coach in Far East

Mark Jackson was a good enough footballer to make 18 Premier League appearances for Leeds United; to play at Old Trafford, Goodison Park, Highbury and Anfield; and to keep the prolific Ian Wright off the scoresheet in an FA Cup victory over Arsenal. As a coach, he led Leeds’ under-18 and under-23 teams to league titles. None of that afforded Jackson a second crack at management in his native England, after his first chance with MK Dons lasted only 4½ months. Not for Jackson the mulligan that is...
