Handling Complex Car Accident Cases
Uber, Lyft, and other ridesharing services introduce unique circumstances when it comes to insurance, employee - employer relationships, and how victims can recover compensation for their losses. Some of these may include:
- Driver Classification - Ridesharing services typically classify their drivers as independent contractors rather than employees (this allows them to avoid paying benefits and overtime). As a result, drivers aren’t always covered by corporate insurance policies - especially when they’re not transporting fares - which can lead to complexities when it comes to liability.
- Driver Training - Uber and Lyft drivers are not regulated by the same standards as professional drivers, nor do they have any additional training requirements. This presents dangers to passengers and can come into play when injured victims choose to file personal injury claims.
- Insurance Policies - When victims are injured in car wrecks, they typically sue the at-fault party’s insurance provider. Due to the driver / employer relationship and other unique insurance policy circumstances, victims may encounter difficulties when it comes to recovering their damages.
