Understanding Rideshare Accident Risks: Know Your Rights for Uber and Lyft Collisions
The Growing Popularity and Risks of Uber and Lyft
Transportation apps like Uber and Lyft have transformed the way we travel, offering a convenient and affordable alternative to traditional transportation options. Despite the benefits, ridesharing services come with certain risks. While Uber and Lyft drivers are expected to maintain a clean record with limited traffic violations, they do not undergo specialized driver training. As a result, rideshare drivers are no more skilled or experienced than the average driver, and the risks associated with roadway accidents are equally present.

What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident
If you’ve been injured in an accident while riding with an Uber or Lyft driver, and you believe that your injuries were caused by—or in-part caused by—the driver’s negligence, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.
Both Uber and Lyft hire their drivers as independent contractors, which means that you will most likely not be able to file a claim against the company itself. Instead, the driver will be held responsible independently. However, both Uber and Lyft have a liability policy through James River Insurance that will cover injured passengers up to $1 million.
In order to stand the best chance at winning a case against an Uber or Lyft driver, you should preserve as much evidence of the accident as you are able.
You should take photos of the damage, write down names and contact information of any witnesses, save information about the Uber or Lyft driver you rode with, and save your receipt for the ride. Next, you should hire an experienced personal injury attorney to help you file a claim and begin taking legal action against the responsible party.
