Riverside Rideshare Accident Attorneys

If you or a member of your family has been hurt in a car wreck involving an Uber or Lyft driver, you can seek financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation, and lost income. The ridesharing era has certainly made getting from place to place in Riverside much easier. Drinking and driving has decreased thanks in part to ridesharing's surge in popularity. It has additionally provided many people with a new income stream in today's gig economy.

However, as the ridesharing industry grows, so have the number of accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers. Worse yet, insurance companies are often unaware the insured party has been using their vehicle for ridesharing. This means they're not always willing to fully compensate victims.

Since ridesharing is so new, the legal waters around Lyft and Uber auto accidents are still murky.

This is why you need the Riverside Lyft and Uber accident attorneys at M.R. Parker Law, PC by your side. Uber and Lyft are huge publicly-traded companies worth billions of dollars. Unlike many motorists carrying just the minimum-required liability coverage of $15,000 for injury or death on their car insurance, Uber and Lyft drivers have a $1 million insurance policy. But rideshare companies will look at varying details like if their driver was signed into the app and accepting rides when the collision took place.

Considering how much liability coverage Lyft and Uber drivers carry, anyone injured in a collision with a ridesharing driver might be entitled to more compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain, suffering and emotional trauma tied to the accident. This applies to passengers injured in a rideshare car, regardless of whether or not their driver was at-fault.

Texting & Driving Accidents

Distracted driving is a major cause of auto accidents. Crashes caused by distracted driving range from very serious - there are many highway fatalities and wrongful death lawsuits linked to distracted driving - to minor rear-end accidents or fender-benders.

According to statistics, texting while driving raises the risk of a collision by as much as 25 times.

Studies have also concluded that the average driver takes their eyes off the road for 4.6 seconds to send or read a text message. If driving 55 mph, that equates to driving the distance of a football field with your eyes covered.

In California, it's against the law for someone driving an automobile to use their cell phones to make a call, talk without a hands-free setup, and read or type out a text message while driving.

Although texting while driving is what most immediately think of when distracted driving is mentioned, there are other common types of distracted driving still prevalent. They include: following the directions on an electronic navigation system like Google Maps or GPS, talking on a handheld cell phone, fiddling around with a radio or CD player, doing makeup, smoking or vaping, taking selfies or recording a video. and eating while driving.
