Common Causes of Uber and Lyft Accidents in Tri-State area

Uber and Lyft drivers have no special certifications, training, or education before they begin transporting passengers. Instead, they are everyday drivers who may, or may not, have the skills needed to transport their passengers safely from one point to the next.

While most Uber and Lyft accidents occur for the same reasons as other car accidents, there are some accidents more common to rideshare drivers, such as:

  • Distracted driving due to use of a rideshare App;
  • Watching for passengers instead of observing traffic flow;
  • Making sudden stops and starts to load and unload passengers; and
  • Stopping in no-stopping zones.

Compensation for Uber and Lyft Accidents

Compensation awards in any Uber or Lyft accident depend upon:

  • The severity of the victim’s injuries;
  • The victim’s prognosis for recovery;
  • The rideshare company’s insurance policy; and
  • The status of the driver at the time of the accident.

Uber and Lyft’s insurance liability coverage applies to victims who were:

  • Passengers at the time of their injuries;
  • Any potential compensation under this policy is divisible among the passengers who suffered injuries;
