Personal Injury
Uber and Lyft are popular ride-sharing services offering transportation to millions worldwide. However, accidents involving these services can result in personal injury and property damage. According to a study by the University of Chicago, car accidents in cities with ride-sharing services have increased nearly 3% yearly.
Tips to Prevent Uber and Lyft Accidents
As a passenger, you can take steps to reduce the risk of accidents by:
Choosing safe drivers
When requesting a ride, consider the driver’s ratings and reviews from previous passengers to select a safe driver.
Buckling up
Always wear a seatbelt when riding in a ride-sharing vehicle, regardless of the length of the trip.
Avoiding distractions
Using your phone or other devices while in the car can distract you from anything alarming in your surroundings.
Check routes
Review your driver’s route and speak up if they need to take a safe or direct route.
It is essential to act quickly after an accident. Take photos of the scene and any damage, and seek medical attention immediately. Keep all records and documents related to the accident, including medical bills, insurance policies, and communications with the ride-sharing company.
