Get Professional Legal Representation From Our Pacific Palisades Uber And Lyft Accident Attorneys  

The Pacific Palisades Community Council has requested that California mandate assessments be made available regarding the impact of Uber, Lyft, and other ridesharing services on traffic congestion. The request followed alarming reports that the increased number of ridesharing drivers on the road was responsible for a corresponding increase in crashes.  

Unfortunately, while once considered one of the safest ways to travel and a means to reduce drunk driving rates, Uber and Lyft accidents in Pacific Palisades are now common. Ways they can happen include:  

• Uber and Lyft car accidents, involving other motorists or motorcyclists; 
• Uber and Lyft pedestrian accidents, impacting innocent bystanders or people waiting for rides; 
• Uber and Lyft bicycle accidents, common along busy bike routes; 
• Uber and Lyft passenger accidents, such as when sudden stops or sharp turns cause you to be thrown from your seat.

Who Is Responsible When A Pacific Palisades Uber Or Lyft Accident Happens?  

Uber's U.S. Safety Reports show a relatively low number of fatal accidents but fail to address the increasing number of passengers, pedestrians, motorists, and other road users who suffer serious personal injuries. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we investigate to determine how these accidents happen and who is responsible. Common causes in cases our Pacific Palisades Uber and Lyft accident attorneys handle include:  

• Reckless behavior on the part of the Uber driver or other motorists, such as speeding, running red lights, or driving while distracted; 
• Drowsy driving, a common problem in the ridesharing industry due to long shifts; 
• Mechanical failures, which make Uber and Lyft accidents more likely to occur; 
• Ridesharing company negligence, such as failing to properly vet and monitor drivers or pull their credentials for traffic violations.  

How Do I File An Injury Claim Against Uber Or Lyft?  

Both Uber and Lyft promote million-dollar insurance policies designed to protect drivers and ridesharing passengers. However, coverage only applies in limited cases. Situations in which Uber or Lyft are likely to deny, dispute, or downplay your claim include:  

• The ridesharing driver was not logged in to the app or had not accepted a ride request at the time of the accident; 
• Other motorists were involved and may share a portion of the blame; 
• The ridesharing company claims the victim’s own actions were partially responsible.  

It is important to be aware Uber and Lyft typically have teams of attorneys standing by, ready to defend them against claims. To protect your rights to compensation, get our legal team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers on your side. We aggressively deal with ridesharing companies, their attorneys, and any insurers involved on your behalf. If a reasonable settlement cannot be obtained, we will not hesitate to take your case to court.  

How Much Is A Pacific Palisades Uber or Lyft Accident Claim Worth?  

Under the California Civil Code, you have the right to get compensation when you suffer personal injuries due to negligent actions or inactions of others. While the exact amount you may be entitled to in a Pacific Palisades Uber or Lyft accident claim or lawsuit varies based on the circumstances, common types of compensation available include:  

• Economic damages, covering property losses, medical expenses, lost income, and other tangible costs; 
• Non-economic damages, such as pain, suffering, lost enjoyment in life, and other intangible losses; 
• Exemplary damages, an additional amount we can push for that punishes the driver or the ridesharing company for particularly willful and negligent behavior.
