Uber & Rideshare Accidents in California

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have become a common way to get around California, but accidents involving these vehicles are unfortunately frequent. When you’re injured in an Uber accident, determining who is responsible can be complicated. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side.

The Reality of Uber Accidents

•California sees thousands of rideshare-related accidents each year, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.

•Common injuries include broken bones, head trauma, back and spinal injuries, and whiplash.

•Because Uber drivers are often independent contractors, liability can involve the driver, Uber’s insurance, and sometimes third parties involved in the accident.

Understanding California Law

California law recognizes that if someone is injured due to another party’s negligence, they may be entitled to compensation. In Uber accidents, liability can be complex:

1.Uber Driver’s Insurance: Uber provides insurance coverage for drivers while they are logged into the app.

2.Third-Party Liability: If another driver caused the accident, their insurance may cover your damages.

3.Employer or Vehicle Owner: In some cases, Uber or a leasing company may share liability depending on the circumstances.

Common Causes of Uber Accidents

•Distracted driving (phones, navigation, passengers)

•Speeding or reckless driving

•Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

•Poor road conditions or weather

•Other drivers’ negligence
