Rideshare Accidents

Ridesharing Has Taken the Transportation Model by Storm

Today, nearly everyone has built a practice of calling an Uber of Lyft when they are unable to drive themselves. But while rideshare applications are a great option for their convenience and customer service, they are not immune to automobile accidents.

Rideshare accidents are unique, and insurance covers them differently than regular automobile accidents. California law requires rideshare services to maintain rideshare insurance that covers customer injuries, but it can still be difficult to figure out which insurance will cover the injured rider.

Abogados Campeones are on the cutting edge of this new form of personal injury law. We are here to ensure that your claim is maximized in the result of a rideshare injury.

The Benefits of Ridesharing:

Ridesharing is great for anyone who needs a car on short notice or who may be under the influence. Also, rideshares are often less expensive than traditional taxis, pooled trips are available for even cheaper rates, and all payment is handled through the mobile application. Ridesharing has completely changed the way Californians travel. More often than not, ridesharing is a fantastic practice.

The Risk of Ridesharing:

There are several significant risks involved in ridesharing – chief among them being that rideshare drivers are rarely personally interviewed, and do not need to be fingerprinted the way traditional cab drivers do. Ultimately, if you use a rideshare application you will be getting in to a car with a driver you are unfamiliar with. Rideshare programs tend to fire drivers with consistently bad customer feedback, but if they are a new driver you run the risk of riding with a driver that is unsafe.

Rideshare Insurance:

Uber is ensured through James River Insurance and Lyft is insured with York Insurance. Both companies are required to compensate injured passengers. However, if another driver is ruled at fault for the accident, the injured rider may need to collect damages from that driver’s insurance. At Abogados Campeones, we are well versed in these complicated insurance practices, and we will work hard in order to secure the compensation you deserve.
