Rideshare firms, in contrast to typical taxi services, define their drivers as independent contractors as opposed to employees. As a result, they are able to relax their employment requirements, including background checks. Uber does not conduct national criminal background searches through the FBI or fingerprint new drivers, as do taxi firms.
Uber does not conduct interviews with its drivers or set up in-person meetings. This raises the likelihood that Uber will hire unreliable, hazardous, and unpredictable drivers. Riders may be in danger of driver violence due to Uber’s simple recruiting practices.
Despite the hiring practices rideshare companies have in place, individuals should always remain alert and on guard. Just because these applications are popular and most people have a good experience when using them does not mean you should be naive. Ovadia Law Group urges people to tell their friends to take safety measures when using these rideshare applications.
Physical fights happen, whether it’s because of intoxicated passengers or a careless driver. Uber developed a method inside the app to safeguard its drivers and users. The most typical form of assault cases in an Uber are sexual assaults. This is because drunk passengers are most likely to be attacked by predators, who may very well be Uber drivers. Ovadia Law Group is willing to help drivers and passengers in rideshare incidents, whoever experienced some form of uncomfortable behavior or any attack.
