Arkansas Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers

Uber and Lyft accidents occur when a rideshare vehicle is involved in a collision, whether during a pickup, drop-off or while transporting a passenger. These accidents can be caused by many factors, including:

• Distracted Driving: Drivers may be distracted by their phones or other passengers, increasing the risk of accidents.
• Reckless Driving: Speeding, running red lights, or other reckless driving behaviors often lead to crashes.
• Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol significantly impairs a driver’s ability to react safely on the road.
• Poor Road Conditions: Hazardous road conditions, such as icy or wet roads, contribute to accidents.
• Negligence of Other Drivers: Another driver’s negligence may cause a crash with the Uber or Lyft vehicle.

Rideshare accidents can result in serious injuries, such as whiplash, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, or, in some cases, wrongful death.

One of the most challenging aspects of Uber and Lyft accident claims is determining liability. Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft have their own insurance policies, but the situation can be complicated. Liability may depend on several factors:

• Driver’s Status: If the driver was “on the clock” (the app was active and they were en route to pick up a passenger), the rideshare company’s insurance may cover the accident. If the driver was off-duty or not using the app, personal insurance may apply.
• Negligence of Other Drivers: If another driver caused the accident, their insurance might cover the damages.
• Vehicle Condition: In cases where vehicle maintenance issues or defects are the cause of the accident, the vehicle manufacturer or maintenance provider could be liable.
