Our Hanford Uber and Lyft Accident Attorneys Provide the Trusted Legal Guidance You Need

Relying on ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft spares you the hassle and expense of taking your own vehicle. In addition to saving you money on gas, parking, and car maintenance costs, ridesharing services are a safer alternative to driving yourself home after a night out drinking. When first introduced to the Bay area in 2009, traffic safety experts predicted ridesharing services would reduce the number of traffic fatalities on the road. While there were some improvements in overall car accident rates early on,  MIT Technology Review reports that those numbers have begin to climb again in recent years. Recklessness on the part of ridesharing drivers and the companies they work for is to blame. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we provide the trusted legal guidance and professional representation you need when involved in an Uber or Lyft accident. Common types of cases our Hanford Uber and Lyft accident attorneys handle include:

• Uber and Lyft accidents involving other vehicles;
• Collisions with stationary objects, such as telephone poles and guardrails;
• Incidents that occur during your trip, such as being injured when a driver goes too fast around curves or slams on the brakes;
• Accidents that happen while waiting for your Uber or Lyft to arrive;
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents involved Uber and Lyft.

What Are The Leading Causes of Uber and Lyft Accidents?

According to Uber user reports, more than three million people across the U.S. rely on ridesharing services each day. While Uber, Lyft, and other providers claim that passenger safety is their top priority, overseeing all of the vehicles and drivers involved is an impossible task. Without proper oversight or precautions in place, Uber and Lyft accidents are more likely to happen. As experienced Uber and Lyft accident attorneys, we help injured victims hold those at fault accountable in a claim. Common causes of Uber and Lyft accidents in cases Harris Personal Injury Lawyers represent include:

• Dangerous behavior on the part of the driver, such as speeding, running red lights, and driving distracted or under the influence;
• Failure on the part of the driver to properly respond to the reckless actions of other motorists on the road;
• Lack of proper vehicle maintenance, which makes Uber and Lyft accidents more likely to happen;
• Negligent company policies, such as failure to properly vet drivers, penalize them for traffic infractions, or monitor the number of shifts they work.
