Who is Liable for Your Uber or Lyft Accident?

When you are hurt in a car accident caused by an individual driver, you will likely have a clear idea who should be held liable for your damages. In a rideshare accident caused by a negligent Uber or Lyft driver, the legal situation may be different. Some jurisdictions might see ridesharing drivers as employees of their parent ridesharing company, but others might label them as independent contractors. There can be numerous complications that arise in either situation that our New Orleans rideshare accident attorneys will help you overcome.

Parties that may be liable for your damages in a rideshare accident:

  • Your rideshare driver and their private insurer
  • Parent ridesharing company, like Uber or Lyft
  • Another motorist
  • Another passenger who recklessly distracted your driver
  • Pedestrians who caused a roadway hazard

For many rideshare accident cases, attention is drawn to the involved ridesharing company. In order to be an Uber or Lyft driver, for example, a driver must download an app, surrender a portion of fares earned to the company, and keep their smartphone on their dashboard at all times. The phone app directs the driver to new fares and destinations, and also helps the passenger verify they entered the correct vehicle. This causes a significant distraction that can cause a crash.
