Many people have heard of the increasing rideshare incidents between the driver and passengers, but many do not inform people what happens when a rideshare driver collides with a biker or pedestrian. If you have been involved in a rideshare incident as a bicyclist in Ocala, contact Ovadia Law Group at 1-800-674-9396.
On the road, bicycles are particularly at risk, and collisions involving rideshare drivers may have grave repercussions. These accidents may be caused by driver carelessness, distracted driving, failing to yield, or even driving while inebriated. Following such crashes, hurt cyclists may have to pay for medical bills, missed earnings, and long-term rehabilitation requirements. This is why seeking medical treatment after a rideshare incident is crucial. The more documentation you have might, be better in terms of your overall compensation. Their compensation will be based on the calculation of their income and expenses. Our team at Ovadia Law Group can help explain the process of breaking down your compensation.
Too frequently, Uber or Lyft vehicles stop abruptly on the side of the road, sometimes even in bike lanes, and a driver or passenger throws open a door straight into the path of an approaching bicycle. The likelihood of cyclists being hurt is significant, as it is in the majority of collisions with motor vehicles. In these situations, the drivers of Uber and Lyft could be held accountable for any harm caused to bicyclists. These businesses do retain insurance coverage for incidents brought on by their employees, and it’s probable that the employees themselves carry auto insurance.
You should attempt to gather as much information about the parties involved if you are hurt in a bicycle accident involving a Lyft or Uber driver or passenger. Having this contact information might be essential to sustaining a strong injury claim following a bicycle accident. You should get the information of the rideshare driver and their vehicle. In the same way, if one of the passengers’ activities caused the accident, you should try to collect their name and contact details.
