What Are Common Causes Of Uber & Lyft Accidents In Florida
Like all auto accidents, rideshare accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. These are just a few common causes we have encountered:
- Distracted driving: Rideshare drivers often use their phones for navigation or accepting new rides.
- Fatigue: Long hours behind the wheel can lead to drowsy driving.
- Speeding: The pressure to complete trips quickly can result in reckless driving.
- Unfamiliarity with routes: Drivers may make sudden turns or stops when navigating unfamiliar areas.
- Vehicle maintenance issues: Poorly maintained vehicles can lead to mechanical failures.
Understanding these causes helps us build a strong case for our clients. We thoroughly investigate each rideshare accident to determine liability and secure fair compensation.
Who Can Be Held Liable After Uber & Lyft Accidents?
In rideshare accidents, multiple parties may be held responsible:
- The rideshare driver
- Other drivers involved in the accident
- Uber or Lyft companies
- Vehicle manufacturers (in cases of mechanical failure)
- Government entities (if road conditions contributed to the accident)
Determining liability in rideshare accidents can be complex. That is why hiring a rideshare accident attorney is crucial. We have the knowledge and resources to identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable. Our personal injury team will fight tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
