Common Causes of Uber and Lyft Accidents

Accidents involving rideshare vehicles can be caused by a variety of factors. In some cases, the collision is caused by the rideshare driver himself or herself. In other cases, another driver, a product malfunction, or road hazards are responsible. However, negligent driving behaviors are a major contributor to rideshare accidents.

Below are some of the most common causes of Uber and Lyft collisions:

• Failure to yield the right of way
• Distracted driving
• Driving over the speed limit
• Running a red light or stop sign
• Intoxicated driving
• Fatigued driving
• Driver inexperience

Legal Options for Uber and Lyft Accident Victims in Utah

If you were injured in an Uber or a Lyft accident, there are various options for compensation that you could pursue. Utah is a no-fault car accident state that requires drivers to carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance; your first course of action may be to file a claim against your PIP coverage.

However, you may also be entitled to compensation under the rideshare company’s insurance policy if the Uber or Lyft driver was responsible for the accident. The amount of coverage that you could receive will depend on the driver’s status at the time of the collision:

• If the driver was not logged into the app, you are not eligible for coverage.
• If the driver was logged into the app but had not accepted a ride request, you are eligible for limited liability coverage. You could receive up to $50,000 per person injured in the accident, $100,000 in total injury liability, and $25,000 in property damage.
• If the driver was on the way to pick up a passenger or had a passenger in the vehicle, the liability coverage will increase to $1 million.

There are many pathways to compensation for a rideshare accident victim. An attorney from We Win Injury Law can help you identify your optimal path to compensation.
