Ridesharing has become an extremely convenient and cost-effective way of travel for many people today. Most people have or know someone who has utilized Uber or Lyft for transportation. Presently, Uber and Lyft drivers are not required to possess any special driving skills or expertise. They are ordinary individuals with a car and a driver’s license. Like everyone else on the road, they make mistakes and cause accidents. They are often hurried to pick up and drop off passengers, and distracted by the influx of information coming from the app.
Similar to the rules of insurance for drivers and passengers of buses, taxis, trolleys and company vehicles, the rules of insurance for rideshare vehicles and drivers are different from the rules that pertain to private passenger motor vehicles. In addition, the rules are difficult to navigate.
If you were struck by an Uber or Lyft driver, or injured as a passenger in a ridesharing vehicle, it is important that you hire an attorney with knowledge of the insurance requirements and policy regulations for rideshare vehicles and experience in litigating rideshare claims.
