Just a few years ago we did not even know what those terms
meant. Now they are billion dollar
business in the United States. With auto
accidents involving Uber and Lyft increasing as quickly as these businesses are
growing you need to become aware of their liability. Many of you reading this will hire one of
these rideshares in 2017. We hope that
every trip is a safe one.
Maybe the most important thing to know at this point is that
drivers of Uber and Lyft are not employees like taxi drivers. Of course, both companies do background
checks and don’t just let anyone drive for them. Both Uber and Lyft offer one million dollars
of liability insurance, but there are limitations as to whom it covers.
This new gray area is definitely something that you need to
be aware of. If you or a loved one is
involved in an Uber or Lyft car accident do not take anything for granted! You must treat this with your full attention
moving forward. Contact Great Southwest
car accident attorney Ken Wagner at his Albuquerque office to discover the next
