Ride Sharing Car Accidents and Claims<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It is important to know your rights and responsibilities in the case that you are injured in a ridesharing accident. The best place to start is to speak with a licensed personal injury attorney who focuses on car accident claims, like Craven, Hoover & Blazek, P.C. They can offer you accurate information and professional advice. If you were recently injured in a rideshare accident, be sure to speak with an attorney as soon as possible, before the statutes of limitations runs out for making a claim and critical evidence is lost. You could be entitled to certain compensation for your damages and losses, such as hospital bills, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liability Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first question that most people have in regard to\nLyft and Uber car accidents is about liability. Is the driver responsible for\ndamages and losses suffered by their passenger or is the actual company or\ncorporation accountable or are they both? Is it possible for a passenger to be\nheld liable for their own injuries suffered in a ride sharing accident?\nAlthough there are laws surrounding such liability, each case is unique,\ntherefore, the answers to these particular questions are not always clear and\nconcise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case that a ride-share driver acts negligently\nand causes a car accident that results in their passengers being injured, the\nliability will likely fall onto the driver themselves. Since it is the driver\u2019s\npersonal vehicle, and they are using it to transport passengers for money, they\nare obligated to have proper insurance coverage for themselves and passengers.\nIf a passenger is injured in a Lyft or Uber ride in particular, they are\ncovered by Lyft\u2019s and Uber\u2019s liability coverage that is set at 1 million\ndollars. So, although the Lyft or Uber driver is likely liable for a victim\u2019s\ndamages and losses, passengers also have the right to make a claim against Lyft\nor Uber.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ride-sharing accident claims can become quite complex in a short amount of time since both passengers and drivers have certain rights. For this reason, it is vital to retain professional legal representation from a trusted personal injury law firm. We can help navigate your claim and determine the best course of action for your particular case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
