Many people have heard of and used apps such as Uber or Lyft. This article will cover some of the possible risks and dangers someone could face when using these rideshare apps. If you would like to discuss any situation you might have encountered while using Uber or Lyft, do not wait to contact our firm, Ovadia Law Group, at 1-800-674-9396.
The probability of crashes increases with increasing traffic on the roads brought on by ridesharing services. In an effort to maximize revenue, drivers would be motivated to speed between riders, thereby jeopardizing safety. The driver’s decisions could be unsafe and violate the rules of the rideshare company. The rideshare company might be notified of their speeding, but this will be after the ride is finished, so the passenger might still be exposed to unsafe driving decisions.
Like all other drivers, Uber drivers have the potential to be careless in their duties, which might result in accidents. The safety of passengers and other road users may be put at risk due to fatigue, distraction, or irresponsibility. To make an income or extra money, a driver for these companies might be willing to risk their well-being and those entering their vehicle. They might believe they have enough energy or will convince themselves they are ok to drive in certain conditions. The passengers should be alert, especially when the driver is quiet and keeps to themself.

This lack of routine maintenance might result in mechanical problems, which would put passengers and other drivers at risk and cause accidents. Uber and Lyft do not personally own these vehicles, which makes the checks on vehicles less of a concern for them. It is complicated and varies based on the rules they have set in place.
