Highly recommended.

I was in a rideshare accident in Queens. Berel handled my No-Fault paperwork while Mr. Gelbstein uncovered a hidden umbrella policy. They resolved it for $1 million. Communication was excellent, and I always felt informed.

Nicole, thank you for sharing your experience with The Gelbstein & Associates Team. We are proud to have represented you in your Queens rideshare accident case and to have helped secure a $1 million resolution. Cases involving rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft can be complex, especially when insurance carriers initially appear to have limited coverage. In your case, Berel made sure your No-Fault paperwork was handled quickly so your medical care and lost wages were covered without delay, while Mr. Gelbstein conducted a detailed policy review and uncovered a hidden umbrella policy that significantly increased your recovery. Rideshare accident cases in New York City often require an understanding of both state accident laws and the unique insurance structures these companies maintain. Many injured passengers don’t realize that additional layers of coverage may exist — policies that rideshare companies or their drivers carry beyond the standard limits. Uncovering those policies can make a major difference, especially when injuries are serious and long-term medical care is needed. We know how stressful it can be to navigate the aftermath of an accident, particularly when dealing with multiple insurance carriers. Our mission is to remove that burden from our clients so they can focus on recovery. That means handling all aspects of the claim — from No-Fault filings to identifying every possible source of coverage — while keeping our clients informed at each step. For anyone reading this who has been hurt in a rideshare accident in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, or anywhere in New York, know that you may have more rights than you realize. Whether as a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver, it is important to work with a personal injury law firm experienced in identifying hidden insurance coverage and maximizing recovery. Nicole, we truly appreciate your trust and the kind words about our communication. We believe that keeping our clients informed is just as important as delivering results, and we’re grateful to have helped you achieve both. We wish you the very best moving forward. — The Gelbstein & Associates Team

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
