What Causes Rideshare Accidents?
Several key factors can contribute to these incidents. To start with, distraction due to the use of navigation apps and the pressure to manage ride requests can lead to a lapse in attention, increasing the risk of accidents. Some accidents may also occur due to:
- speeding;
- impaired driving
- bad weather or traffic conditions; and
- fatigue from extended driving hours;

Damages In a Rideshare Accident
Damages in these accidents often fall under two main categories: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a specific monetary value attached to them. Examples include:
- Costs for hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and any ongoing medical treatments related to the accident.
- Income you've lost due to time off work while recovering from your injuries.
- Lost earning capacity (if the accident affects your ability to earn a living in the future)
- Costs for repairing or replacing your vehicle and any other personal property damaged in the accident.
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are more subjective and don't have a specific monetary value attached to them. These include:
- Pain and emotional distress
- Anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Permanent disfigurement
How Is Liability for a Rideshare Accident Determine?
Determining when a rideshare company is liable for an accident is a bit complicated but very doable. If you have a viable claim, you may be able to seek compensation from:
- The rideshare driver's personal car insurance;
- The rideshare company's insurance (Uber and Lyft each have third-party liability coverage worth up to $1 million)
- Your own car insurance carrier
- Your health insurance provider
- A government agency
- A construction company
Always keep in mind that the lines of responsibility can get blurred, and the specific circumstances of the accident will ultimately decide whether you have a viable claim in the first place and who owes you compensation. That's why it's advisable to have your case professionally reviewed by someone with experience handling rideshare accident claims.
