In this episode of Trial Talk, attorney Michael Joseph dives into the legal complexities surrounding rideshare and food delivery accidents in New York. He explains who is responsible for medical bills depending on the status of the driver—whether they're on the app, off the app, transporting people, or delivering food. Michael emphasizes the importance of timely filing for no-fault benefits and highlights the different protections available for passengers and drivers in various scenarios, including uninsured motorist coverage and supplemental underinsured motorist coverage. Listeners learn why it's critical to consult an attorney early to avoid missing key deadlines and losing out on benefits.
