Why do Uber, Lyft & Rideshare Accidents Happen?
Every day we take the risk of driving our vehicle knowing there is a chance an auto accident can occur, usually through no fault of our own. Entering a rideshare Uber, Lyft or taxi vehicle is no different and sometimes comes at a higher risk. If you were involved in a ridesharing vehicle accident for any of the following reasons, call to speak with one of J. Fine Law’s experienced personal injury attorneys today.
Lax Hiring Practices. Almost anyone with a valid driver’s license, insurance and no major accidents/tickets within the last 7 years can get a job with a rideshare company. The drivers are not trained and there is no official meeting between the company & driver before they are allowed to pick up passengers. These factors certainly carry a very high chance you could become the victim in a car accident.
Fatigue. Many passengers use rideshare services at late hours of the night, after dinner & drinks when it is not safe for them to drive themselves home. Consequently, the drivers face long hours, many of whom use this as a second source of income. It is not uncommon for drivers to feel exhausted and distracted by the time they start their late night shift, which could easily cause distraction and an accident.
Negligence. While it is the driver’s responsibility to follow traffic and safety laws, sometimes they simply do not. Running a traffic light, speeding and overall reckless driving almost always lead to an accident, sometimes with major consequences and damages owed to you as the passenger.
Common Car Accidents. Some accidents are, unfortunately, unavoidable and do happen from time to time. Whether the fault of the driver of the rideshare vehicle or another car involved, you may be eligible for compensation for medical bills and other damages.
Steps to take after a Rideshare Automobile Accident
Just like any other accident, there are steps involved that need to be taken immediately after in order to ensure our personal injury lawyers can determine probable cause. These steps should be followed after it is clear that all parties involved have not suffered serious injury. If that is the case, call 911 immediately before taking further action. First, make sure to report the accident on the Uber app, Lyft app or call the taxi company directly if no app is available. Secondly, call your insurance provider to report the accident and the police to file a report. Lastly, take pictures of all damages for later documentation and proof. Finally, call our Uber and Lyft accident lawyers to discuss your case. We have the knowledge and experience to fight these corporations and ensure you’re fairly compensated.
