Four Common Rideshare Accidents
Generally speaking, there are four types of injuries that rideshare accidents cause.
- Injuries to a contracted and actively working driver
- Injury to a passenger of a contracted driver
- Pedestrian or driver injured by a currently working driver
- Pedestrian or driver injured by an inactive contracted worker
Each of these situations entails different situations. In some cases, Uber and Lyft will accept liability through their strong company insurance policy. As rideshare drivers are contractors and not employees, it can be difficult to hold the company accountable for the actions of their drivers. But on the other hand, the ridesharing business model encourages drivers to pick up as many passengers in as little time as possible, as this is how they make the most money. This and other considerations may be used to implicate the company in cases where reckless, aggressive driving on the part of the contractor caused the accident.
In other cases, it can be more difficult or even impossible to secure a settlement from the company. If the rideshare employee isn’t working at the time of the accident, it would be difficult to build a case against the rideshare company. When this is the case, your accident is fairly similar to a standard auto accident. Either way, get in touch with an expert rideshare accident attorney in Irvine as soon as possible.
What to Do After a Rideshare Accident in Irvine
While a traditional car accident is comparatively straightforward, the legal ambiguity of a rideshare accident and the many variables in play can confuse the situation.
