How Does Compensation Work with Uber or Lyft rides?
There are unique legal challenges that come with accidents involving Uber and Lyft. Drivers for these companies are classified as independent contractors and holding the rideshare companies liable for accidents is dependent on the circumstances of the accident such as whether the driver was actively transporting passengers. Rideshare companies typically have large insurance policies in place in the case of accidents or negligent driving. However, unlike the commercial transportation industry, drivers for Uber and Lyft are not subject to strict regulatory oversight. This can lead to even more challenges when it comes to holding drivers and rideshare companies accountable even with valid claims. If you were a passenger, you may file a claim with the company or the driver of the other vehicle if it caused the wreck of your Uber or Lyft ride. If you were not a passenger, the situation varies. You may be able to hold the rideshare company liable if the driver was actively providing rideshare services. If they were not, you may need to seek compensation directly from the at-fault party. Since rideshare services are relatively new, legal expertise is needed to navigate accidents and secure fair compensation for victims.Choose DiPasquale Moore to Represent Your Case
