Are Rideshare Drivers Independent Contractors?
Just because the rideshare company claims that these drivers are independent contractors doesn’t necessarily mean they all are. It all boils down to the specifics of the case. In the past, this notion has been successfully challenged in court with the following arguments:
- Rideshare companies exert significant operational control on these drivers, suggesting employee status.
- The companies dictate rates, terms, and conditions, similar to an employer-employee relationship.
- Drivers are central to the rideshare business model, another key characteristic of employee status.
- Drivers have limited autonomy in choosing fares and routes, unlike traditional contractors.
Besides the Rideshare Company, Who Else Can Be Held Liable?
Liability for a rideshare accident doesn’t always end with the rideshare company. In fact, they may not even be liable in the first place. That said, besides the company, you may be able to bring a case against the following parties:
- The driver of the rideshare vehicle if their negligence contributed to the accident.
- Another driver, if a third-party driver caused or contributed to the accident.
- Vehicle manufacturer, in case of a defect in the rideshare vehicle.
- Maintenance or repair service, if improper maintenance or repair led to the accident.
- Government entities, for issues like poor road conditions or inadequate signage.
