A rideshare driver’s ability to respond to traffic situations and possible risks is hindered when they are distracted from the road by texting. In addition to putting the driver and their passengers in danger, this also endangers pedestrians and other drivers. If you or anyone in Miami Beach has been involved in a rideshare car accident due to the driver’s negligent behavior, contact our team at 1-800-674-9396.
Companies that offer ridesharing services are required by law to protect their customers’ safety. This responsibility involves putting policies and procedures in place to stop their drivers from driving while distracted. While most rideshare companies have laws regarding texting and driving, the way in which these policies are monitored and enforced might differ.
A rideshare driver who causes an accident while texting behind the wheel may be held accountable for the harm and losses brought on by their carelessness. Driving while texting violates your responsibility to other road users and your passengers. Victims of collisions brought on by texting rideshare drivers may file a lawsuit to recover damages for their injuries, medical bills, lost earnings, and other losses.
