The rise of ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft has transformed urban transportation, offering convenience and accessibility.

Understanding Uber/Lyft Accidents
Uber and Lyft accidents can occur under various circumstances and can involve multiple parties, including the rideshare driver, the passenger, and other motorists or pedestrians.

Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents
-
Driver Distraction: Many rideshare accidents occur because the driver was distracted by the rideshare app or other devices.

Fatigue: Rideshare drivers often work long hours, which can lead to fatigue and decreased reaction times.
-
Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Failure to maintain the vehicle properly can lead to mechanical failures that cause accidents.
