A rideshare accident differs from an auto accident because a rideshare company service, such as Uber and Lyft, was being used at the time of loss. There are a couple of ways that this can affect your case but like most accidents, there are many individual factors about your situation that will make aspects change. No two cases will be the same. Whether you were a rideshare driver, rideshare passenger, or a vehicle that got hit by a rideshare driver, you may be entitled to treatment and compensation. All types of injuries, whether physical or mental, should be addressed and treated properly. The cost of the treatment you receive, or any other type of cost that are incurred from an accident, is not something you should have to pay if they were caused due to the negligence of another.

Most Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents:

+ Rideshare driver: As a rideshare driver, there are many new areas a person travels to that are unfamiliar, making them dependent on their GPS system. Looking back and forth on your GPS system can cause a rideshare driver to cause an accident.
+ Third-party driver: No matter of safe a rideshare driver is, there will be other reckless drivers that do not obey laws and cause accidents.
