ARE UBER AND LYFT ACCIDENTS CONTRIBUTING TO MORE TRAFFIC INJURIES?

Initially, it was thought that Uber and Lyft ridesharing companies would reduce traffic accidents overall with fewer people on the road. However, a recent study conducted by the University of Chicago concluded that motor vehicle accidents and traffic fatalities have increased:

• Since 2011, traffic fatalities have risen by 3%

The study found significant contributing factors:

• More people preferred to rideshare than take public transportation, causing more vehicles to be on the road
• Companies like Uber and Lyft are pushing for more drivers to be on the road at a time to get to riders quickly

WHY YOU NEED AN UBER & LYFT ACCIDENT ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOUR CASE

The most challenging aspect of Uber and Lyft accident claims is the question of insurance coverage. Unlike passenger vehicle collisions that solely involve the drivers, ridesharing insurance law is still being created.

For example:

• If you are a passenger in a rideshare service and your driver causes an accident, do you file a claim with the driver’s insurance or with the rideshare company?
• What if your driver took a shortcut on the way to your destination that is not recognized by the ridesharing app? Will the service’s insurance company deny the claim by citing that the driver was not on duty? Will the driver’s insurance company deny your claim, because many policies exclude accidents which occur when working as a rideshare driver.

An experienced Uber and Lyft accident attorney can address many of the challenges in ridesharing insurance coverage issues to ensure you recover the damages you need to move on with your life.

At Shenderovich, Shenderovich & Fishman, we know how to investigate your claim, including:

• Checking to see if the driver was logged into the app at the time of the accident
• Investigate to see if the driver elected to buy the additional insurance coverage offered by Uber and Lyft
• Determining if the driver’s insurance policy only covers covering damages when an accident occurs on personal time, and not when ridesharing

If you have been hurt in a negligent ridesharing accident, seek the skilled and knowledgeable counsel of Shenderovich, Shenderovich, & Fishman.
