Ridesharing has revolutionized the way we commute. With services like Uber and Lyft offering convenient and cost-effective alternatives to traditional transportation, millions of people rely on these platforms daily. However, as the number of rideshare vehicles on the road increases, so does the incidence of accidents involving these services. If you find yourself injured in a rideshare accident, securing legal representation is crucial. At The Horwitz Law Group, our Chicago rideshare accident lawyer is dedicated to helping accident victims seek the compensation they deserve.
Despite their popularity, rideshare services come with significant risks. Several factors contribute to the occurrence of rideshare accidents:
Rideshare drivers often face pressure to maximize their earnings by completing as many rides as possible, leading to unsafe driving practices. Excessive speed, failure to obey traffic laws and distracted driving (such as using GPS or texting) are common issues.
Many rideshare companies, including Uber and Lyft, hire drivers as independent contractors, allowing them to circumvent rigorous screening processes and proper training. As a result, some drivers may lack the necessary skills and experience to ensure passenger safety.
Rideshare companies typically provide limited insurance coverage for passengers. This, combined with the reluctance of insurance companies to pay out large sums, makes obtaining fair compensation challenging. Victims often encounter complex insurance schemes that can be difficult to navigate without legal assistance.
Rideshare accidents can lead to a range of injuries, from minor to severe. Common injuries include:
In more severe cases, these injuries can result in long-term disability, chronic pain and significant medical expenses. Immediately after a rideshare accident, it is crucial to seek medical attention, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Prompt medical evaluation can identify hidden injuries and prevent complications. Furthermore, medical records serve as critical evidence when filing a personal injury claim, helping to establish the extent of your injuries and the impact on your life.
