According to the 2018 research study conducted at Rice University and the University of Chicago, Uber/Lyft is linked with a 2% to 3% rise in fatal motor accidents and injuries. This report included data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that compared rates of accidents in different cities.

The study also revealed some other disturbing statistics:

• Almost 1,000 deaths in car accidents occurred daily due to the presence of ridesharing cars on the roads
• 21% of accidents victims were ridesharing service riders, and 21% were other drivers
• Between 2017 and 2018, Uber was responsible for 97 fatal road accidents
• 58% of the accident victims were the other party passengers or riders

When you're injured in a car accident due to someone else's negligence, you have the legal right to recover financial compensation from that party's own insurance coverage provider. For example, in cases involving Lyft and Uber accidents, companies usually have a $1 million commercial liability policy. But your ability to quickly recover compensation can get complicated and time-consuming because of their individual insurance policies.

For instance, rideshare companies only cover damages if the drivers have their Uber or Lyft app turned on during a trip. Victims might have to pursue compensation via the driver's personal auto insurance if their Uber app is off.

If an Uber driver or Lyft driver is involved in a car accident while on duty and not transporting any passengers, recovering compensation will become more complicated. The rideshare companies usually deny liability or do not take responsibility for such vehicle accidents, creating problems for accident victims in securing fair compensation.

In addition, those accident victims who experience property damage and catastrophic injuries must file claims for their losses against negligent Uber drivers or Lyft drivers.

Whatever the case, our Newport Uber/Lyft accident lawyers can help you prove the other party's liability and successfully receive the compensation you deserve for your losses.
