Does the firm accept crashes caused by Uber and Lyft drivers?
Rideshare and delivery services have become an integral part of our daily lives. With the increasing number of vehicles on the road from companies like Uber, Lyft, Amazon, UPS, and various food delivery services such as Uber Eats and DoorDash, there’s been a noticeable rise in accidents involving these drivers. As rideshare attorneys with decades of experience, we understand the complexities that come with such cases and are fully equipped to handle them.
The Growing Concern of Rideshare and Delivery Driver Accidents
In recent years, there has been a surge in crashes caused by drivers working for rideshare and delivery services. These drivers are often under pressure to deliver items quickly or transport passengers to their destinations promptly, which can lead to reckless driving behaviors. As the demand for these services grows, so does the potential for accidents.
Changing Insurance Policies and Evolving Laws
One of the significant challenges in handling accidents involving rideshare and delivery drivers is the evolving nature of insurance policies and laws. As these industries grow, the legal landscape is continuously changing to address the unique circumstances of such cases. At Bache & Lynch, we stay updated with these changes so that our clients receive the best possible representation.
The Role of Your Own Insurance in Rideshare Accidents
If you’re involved in an accident with a rideshare or delivery driver, it’s essential to understand that your own insurance might come into play. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage is portable, meaning it can apply even if you’re not in your own vehicle. For example, if you’re a pedestrian hit by an Uber Eats driver, your UIM insurance may help cover your damages if the driver’s insurance is insufficient.
Additionally, Arizona law protects you from having your rates raised when you need to use your UIM coverage in such cases. This provides an extra layer of financial security for those unfortunate enough to be involved in these types of accidents.
