Have You Been Injured In A Rideshare Accident?
Uber and Lyft are two of the most popular rideshare services in Arizona. As Maricopa County continues growing at a rapid pace, ride hailing services are keeping up. But what happens when you are hurt while on your way to your destination in an Uber or Lyft vehicle?
These types of accident injury claims can quickly become complicated because Uber and Lyft have additional regulations and insurance policies. If you or a loved one have injuries following an accident in a rideshare vehicle, call Law Badgers PLLC in Phoenix to speak with our experienced Arizona personal injury lawyers about your circumstances. Our aggressive attorneys have more than 70 years of combined legal experience and we have helped recover hundreds of millions of dollars for clients suffering injuries.
Uber And Lyft Accident Claims Can Be Confusing
Uber and Lyft drivers are required to abide by all local and state laws as well as their company’s regulations, which may include:
- Vehicles – Must be a four-door manufactured no later than 2006 (Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff) or 2008 and have factory-installed seats and seat belts
- Safety standards – Vehicles must meet Arizona vehicle safety and emissions standards
- Drivers – Minimum age is 25 years old with a valid driver’s license, acceptable driving history, pass a driver screening and criminal background check
- Registration and insurance – Vehicle registration and personal vehicle insurance is required
When their drivers are en route to pick up riders and during trips, Uber and Lyft policies carry a minimum of $1 million for third-party auto liability and other coverages, including uninsured motorist coverages.
Uber And Lyft policies can be confusing to understand without the help of a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer. It is important to keep in mind that their insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind following an accident. You may also have a right to compensation from the other negligent party in the collision who caused the accident and your injuries.
