Ride-share accidents

Ride-share is a common phrase used to described application-based cab services like Lyft, Uber, Waymo, etc.  These services usually connect a customer looking for transportation with the owner of a private vehicle willing to take on the fare paying customer.

In a recent study, one-third of ride-share drivers reported being involved in a motor vehicle collision while working.  (https://today.uic.edu/rideshare-crash-research/).  Ride-share accidents are very common in California. Often times there are complex issues of insurance coverage when dealing with ride-share motor vehicle collisions.  Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney is crucial to ensuring injury victims are able to receive full compensation for their injuries and medical bills.
