Risks, Causes, And Where Crashes Happen

According to a study by the University of Illinois at Chicago, nearly 33% of rideshare drivers report having been involved in an accident while on the job. 

Curb lanes and loading zones are common locations for rideshare accidents, especially where sudden stops create conflict points. Stadiums, airports, hotel corridors, college areas, and downtown entertainment districts are frequent settings, as are high-speed interstates during late-night returns.

Common causes include: 

  • Distraction from the app interface.
  • Drowsy driving after extended shifts.
  • Hurried drop-offs in no-parking lanes.
  • Poor visibility at night.
  • Unfamiliar routes in new cities. 

Devastating Consequences

Some of the most common types of Uber & Lyft crashes include rear-end and T-bone collisions, sideswipes, multi-car chain reactions, and rollovers. These crashes can result in terrible injuries with long-term effects, including whiplash and disc damage, fractures, concussions and TBI, and psychological harm. 

Liability And Damages After An Uber Or Lyft Wreck

Multiple parties can face liability: the rideshare driver, another at-fault motorist, a parts manufacturer in a defect case, or a contractor responsible for an unsafe work zone. Your Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass legal representative will trace every causal link and present the strongest possible case. Your compensation may include medical bills, future care, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, property loss, and non-economic damages.

Uber/Lyft Accident FAQs

How long do you have to file a claim?

Deadlines vary by state and can range from as short as one year to two to three years, with special rules applying to public entities and minors.

What do fault rules look like?

Fault rules also differ depending on your state, but many of them apply a legal principle known as “comparative negligence,” tying compensation to the percentage of fault the court determines. For example, if a driver receives 40% of the blame, the court will reduce their compensation by that amount.

How do fees work?

We handle these cases on a contingency basis. You pay no upfront fees, and our firm receives a share only if we recover for you.
