The Unique Challenges of Uber & Lyft Accidents
Rideshare accidents can be much more complicated than traditional car accidents. Multiple parties may be involved in the case, including the driver, the rideshare company, and various insurance providers. Uber and Lyft drivers are independent contractors, not employees, which means they don’t have the same coverage as company drivers. Additionally, insurance coverage can vary depending on the driver’s status at the time of the crash.
If you’ve been involved in an Uber or Lyft accident in Minnetonka, you need an attorney who can help you navigate these unique legal challenges. We’re here to ensure you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents
- Distracted driving: Drivers using their phones to accept rides or navigate.
- Speeding: Drivers rushing to complete rides may be more prone to speeding.
- Reckless driving: Aggressive driving behavior or not following traffic laws.
- Fatigue: Drivers working long shifts may be tired or less alert.
- Inexperienced drivers: Drivers new to the rideshare industry may lack experience.
- Poor vehicle maintenance: An improperly maintained car can be a hazard.
