Ridesharing Companies: Background
Both Uber and Lyft companies are considered to be transportation network companies, also known as TNCs. These companies are used to serve the general public with independent drivers. These types of ridesharing services have become very popular in recent years and due to modern technology, the access to them has been made very easy. In large cities like San Francisco they can provide quick and affordable transportation for both residents and tourists.
In present time, Uber and Lyft are two of the top companies used by millions of commuters in the State of California. With the rise in use of these sorts of companies, legal disputes have also come to rise. Due to legal disputes, the transportation network companies category has been created in an effort to regulate these companies. These companies have the legal obligation to ensure the safety of their passengers by maintaining and enforcing certain policies for all drivers to respect. One of the main obligations of an Uber or Lyft driver has been to maintain a certain level of insurance coverage. This insurance is a bit more comprehensive than what is required for the average commuter in the State and is aimed to provide an extra layer of protection in the event injuries or accidents occur.
Suffering Injuries As a Result of Being an Uber or Lyft Passenger
If you are a passenger of an Uber or Lyft auto service, you should know that you have the legal right to file a claim against the driver and their insurance company, and possibly the company depending on the situation. It is important to recognize, however, that if you proceed without a lawyer you may also harm your rights as a victim. Also, your opportunity to seek substantial financial compensation for your injuries may be lessened under certain circumstances you may have unknowingly or knowingly practiced. For instance, if you “flagged down” an Uber or Lyft driver, you may lessen the amount of financial compensation due to the lack of following proper policies established by the company or its insurance provider.
Seek Legal Support to Defend Your Rights As a Victim
If you have been injured in an Uber or Lyft accident you should speak to an experienced attorney. An attorney with the right experience can provide you with the support and guidance you need to receive financial compensation for your grievances. As an injured victim, you may face a multitude of difficulties that may include, but are not limited to the following
- The inability to return to work and provide financial support to your loved ones,
- Long lasting pain and injuries,
- High medical costs and other bills, and/or
- Mental or physical incapacities that can affect you and your family.
