Causes of Ridesharing Accidents
Serious accidents have occurred when Uber and Lyft drivers do no pay attention to the road. Following GPS devices for directions, and talking to passengers are distractions that can easily cause an accident.
Other common causes of rideshare collisions include:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Improper or limited training
- Alcohol or drug-impaired driving
- Distracted driving
Personal injury claims involving rideshares, such as Uber and Lyft, can be very complicated. You need to hire an experienced rideshare attorney to help determine who may be responsible for your injuries. Every accident is unique and knowing all your options will help you get the compensation you deserve.
Auto Accident Law Firm
When you are recovering from a car wreck, you need time to heal. Making phone calls, signing paperwork, and tracking down police reports may turn into a full-time job. Accident victims don’t have the time or the resources to negotiate with insurance companies after their crash. Your time is better spent attending doctor appointments and focusing on rehabilitation.
During this time, the services of an experienced Arkansas and Tennessee car accident lawyer can be invaluable. A car accident lawyer at Rainwater, Holt & Sexton Injury Lawyers can handle the complicated details and help you determine the full amount of damages you could be owed, so you can focus your energy on your recovery.
What Types of Compensation Can I Receive?
Injured accident victims may be eligible to collect compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. The driver responsible for the accident is also responsible for paying these damages. While no two accident claims are quite alike, injured accident victims can seek compensation for:
- Medical Bills
- Future Medical Expenses
- Lost Wages
- Loss of Future Earnings
- Pain and Suffering
- Property Loss

After an accident, insurance companies gather information and work diligently to reduce your claim. Why? Because their main interest is in protecting their shareholders – not injured accident victims. For this reason alone – you need an experienced car accident lawyer on your side.
Hiring a car accident attorney ensures that your rights to compensation will be protected throughout the legal process. It means that insurance companies won’t be able to offer you a low-ball settlement so you can obtain the money you need to address your injuries and recover.
