Many residents rely on ridesharing to avoid gas and parking fees when traveling or to commute to and from work. It also provides a safe way home after an evening out in Old Town Camarillo. However, users need to be aware of the risks.

What Are The Most Common Causes of Camarillo Uber and Lyft Accidents?  

When first introduced, Uber and Lyft were credited with increasing road safety. However, an MIT Technology Review report states that the number of ridesharing drivers on the road today makes accidents more likely to happen.  

Uber and Lyft accidents in Camarillo occur due to various causes. Among the most common:  

• Reckless driving: Speeding, running red lights, distracted driving, and driving under the influence are all common factors in ridesharing crashes.  
• Drowsy driving due to over-scheduling: Overscheduling is a major problem that increases the risk of drowsy driving-related crashes.  
• Mechanical errors and lack of proper maintenance: Being a ridesharing driver involves heavy wear and tear on your vehicle. Improper maintenance and mechanic failures increase car accident risks.  
• Lack of experience: A general lack of driving experience and not being familiar with local roads can result in dangerous driving mistakes that increase the odds of a crash.   

If you are injured in a ridesharing crash, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers can conduct a full investigation. Our Camarillo Uber and Lyft accident attorneys determine the causes and who is liable in a claim.  

How Do I File A Car Accident Claim Against Uber Or Lyft?  

Victims of Uber or Lyft accidents in Camarillo may be entitled to hold the driver and the ridesharing company they work for accountable. However, while Lyft and Uber accident insurance policies claim to cover up to $1 million in damages, obtaining compensation often proves challenging.  

Ridesharing companies have varying requirements for when coverage kicks in. Generally, it depends on when an Uber or Lyft accident happens and whether the driver is logged into the system. For example:  

• There is no coverage if the driver is not logged into the ridesharing app.  
• If the driver is logged in but has not yet accepted a ride request, ridesharing services cover damages up to $50,000.  
• If the driver is logged in, accepts a ride request, and an accident occurs either before or during the trip, the full $1 million policy kicks in.  

In addition to specific policy requirements, it is common for companies such as Uber and Lyft to dispute claims. As they have teams of attorneys on their side to defend them, it is important to get our legal team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers on yours.  

How Much is My Ridesharing Claim Worth?  

While each case is different, you can count on our Camarillo Uber and Lyft accident attorneys to fight to get you the maximum allowed by law. We aggressively negotiate with insurers to obtain the best possible settlement. If your claim is denied or disputed, we will not hesitate to file a ridesharing accident lawsuit against them. Compensation available under the California Civil Code includes:  

• Economic damages, covering medical expenses, lost wages, and other tangible costs; 
• Non-economic damages, which compensate you for pain, suffering, and any scarring or disfigurement; 
• Exemplary or punitive damages, punishing the driver or ridesharing company for particularly reckless behavior.
