Common Causes of Rideshare Collisions in Los Angeles

Lyft and Uber collisions can happen in Silver Lake, Echo Park, Hancock Park, and elsewhere in Los Angeles. Los Angeles saw a staggering 8,116 automobile collisions in 2023, and rideshare crashes can contribute to those figures. One reason why rideshare crashes are becoming increasingly common in L.A. is due to the roughly 800,000 drivers who work for Lyft and Uber within California.

Distracted driving is a leading cause of auto accidents across the country. In 2024, 315,167 people were hurt due to this type of driver negligence. Texting, messaging, eating while driving, and other non-driving-related activities can cause serious collisions. Speeding, drunk driving, and fatigue can also cause a rideshare collision. Injured drivers and passengers may be treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center or Keck Hospital of USC.

Compensation You May Be Owed

You may have heard of the term “injury claim.” This commonly used phrase generally refers to the process of pursuing and securing compensation from a negligent party, either through direct talks with their insurer or a civil court action. Either process can lead to fair compensation that addresses the harm someone endured due to an accident.

Before that process can start, the claimant would need to establish fault. This is typically done with the help of an attorney, especially if there has been a serious injury. Evidence in the form of photographs of the crash site, dashcam footage, details from a police report, and other types of documentation can establish fault and lead to a fair settlement.

Why You Should Hire an Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyer

A shocking one-third of rideshare drivers say they have been in a collision while on the clock. If you were injured in a rideshare collision, your first step should be to hire an Uber and Lyft accident lawyer who understands the state’s rideshare accident laws.

Uber and Lyft accident cases can lead to complicated disputes over liability and fault. A Los Angeles Uber and Lyft accident attorney can manage the claim by gathering the right evidence and taking decisive steps to make sure that the at-fault party is held to account for the harm they cause.

FAQs

How Long Could a Lyft Accident Claim Usually Take?

The length of time that it takes to resolve a Lyft accident claim varies from a few months to several months or longer. Straightforward claims where liability is not disputed can be resolved within a shorter period of time than cases involving complex situations like a lengthy recovery or disputed liability. Claims that go through the civil court system could take well over a year to reach a settlement or trial verdict.

How Does Lyft Handle Accident Claims?

Lyft handles accident claims by determining whether its driver was picking up a rider, delivering a rider, or waiting for a passenger. Depending on that status, Lyft’s insurance policy may apply. As with any injury claim, the at-fault party may dispute fault, and the rideshare insurance carrier may downplay the harm you endured. Legal support can play a crucial role in holding the negligent party accountable and making sure that you receive what you are owed.

Can You Recover Compensation if Your Uber Driver Crashes?

Yes. You can recover compensation if your Uber driver crashes. The first step in that process involves establishing fault and liability. Then, your lawyer can pursue compensation through negotiations with the insurance carrier or litigation in court. The amount that you recover depends on the severity of your injuries and the degree of negligence or misconduct involved in the collision case.

How Can I Protect My Claim to Compensation Following a Rideshare Collision?

You can protect your claim to compensation by documenting the harm you endured, working with an experienced injury lawyer, following your doctor’s recovery recommendations, and refraining from speaking about the case publicly. Allow your lawyer to manage negotiations with the at-fault party or their representative. Taking these and other steps can help you protect your claim to fair compensation following a rideshare accident.
