Aventura Uber & Lyft Injuries
What Happens After a Rideshare Incident?
Rideshare companies, such as Uber and Lyft, have revolutionized transportation by offering convenient and accessible options for individuals worldwide. However, as rideshare platforms’ popularity has increased, so have the number of incidents regarding rideshare apps.
From car accidents to attacks on drivers or passengers, more cases and legal actions are being pursued. If you or anyone you know were involved in a rideshare incident, contact our team at Ovadia Law Group to see how we can help. There are many complex aspects to these instances, considering the drivers of these companies are independent contractors. The rideshare companies have their own insurance policies. However, there are still many factors to consider, such as the driver using their own personal vehicle with their own insurance and your personal insurance if your car was involved in the accident.
Rideshare incidents can result in injuries to passengers, pedestrians, or passengers of other vehicles. Our team at Ovadia Law Group can help simplify these companies’ insurance policies and determine your qualifications. These companies want to protect themselves but don’t want to lose that much money and hurt their reputation. Contact our team at 1-800-674-9396 or complete our online free consultation form.
I am Afraid to use Rideshare Applications Again.
- This is not uncommon after experiencing any incident; you do not know the driver and are unaware of their personal behavioral history. The applications require background checks, but there are still instances that could trigger the driver to lose their cool. Some people have not faced an issue as a passenger, but you should still make sure to assess the situation and the person before entering the vehicle.
- You should speak and confirm that the driver is picking you up, the vehicle should be the same as listed in the app as well as the license plate. Do you notice any unusual behavior or actions? Do they ask any questions that could be perceived as odd or strange? Then you could cancel the ride and wait for another one to arrive or see if anyone you know would be willing to pick you up from your location. You are allowed to be afraid but you should remember to be cautious, as well as the driver. The driver doesn't know who is entering their vehicle and essentially, they have their back turned to the passenger. Both parties in Aventura should be cautious while using the rideshare app.
