What Are Common Causes Of Uber And Lyft Accidents In Oakland County?

Rideshare car accidents can occur for various reasons, including:

  • Distracted driving: Electronic devices, road traffic and other factors can divert driver attention from the road
  • Fatigue: Long hours behind the wheel can cause fatigue, impairing reaction times and decision-making
  • Drunk driving: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol significantly impairs judgment and reaction times.
  • Poor maintenance: Neglecting essential vehicle upkeep can spark mechanical failures, brake malfunctions and tire blowouts

Understanding these and other causes can help you establish injury liability.

Who Can Be Held Liable After Uber And Lyft Accidents?

Several parties may carry a share of responsibility. Examples include:

  • The driver for negligent and unlawful driving behaviors.
  • The company may carry vicarious liability if the driver was on duty.

Manufacturers can also be held liable if mechanical failure or defective parts contributed to or caused the accident.
