We understand how devastating slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can be. One moment you're going about your day, the next you're on the ground, nursing injuries that were never in your plan.

Ridesharing has been hailed as one of the great conveniences of modern life: easier than designating a driver, cheaper than a cab, and faster than waiting for the bus.

If you’re injured in a ride-sharing vehicle, such as Uber or Lyft, you have a right to get compensation for your injuries and other damages.
