Who’s Liable After a Rideshare Accident in Brockton?

Determining liability in a rideshare accident is more complicated than in a standard car crash. That’s because rideshare drivers are not employees; they’re independent contractors. This legal distinction means companies like Uber and Lyft are not automatically on the hook when their drivers cause a crash.

However, both companies do provide insurance coverage in certain situations. The key factor is what the driver was doing at the time of the accident.

App off: If the driver wasn’t logged into the app, only their personal auto insurance applies.
App on, no ride accepted: If the driver was waiting for a request, limited liability coverage may be available from the rideshare company.
En route or transporting a passenger: Uber and Lyft both offer up to $1 million in liability coverage in these situations.

If you were hurt in a rideshare crash, a lawyer can investigate the driver’s status and identify all possible sources of compensation, including multiple insurance policies.

Common Causes of Uber and Lyft Accidents in Brockton

Rideshare drivers are constantly on the move, often working long hours in high-traffic areas like Brockton. Unfortunately, the pressure to complete trips quickly and the demands of using an app while driving can increase the risk of accidents.

Here are some of the most common causes of Uber and Lyft crashes in the Brockton area:

Distracted driving: Using the rideshare app while behind the wheel can take a driver’s eyes off the road at a critical moment.
Speeding or aggressive driving: Some drivers rush to meet trip quotas or get to the next ride request.
Failure to yield: Ignoring traffic signs or right-of-way rules is a common cause of rideshare collisions.
Driver fatigue: Long shifts without proper rest can slow reaction times and impair judgment.
Poor vehicle maintenance: Rideshare drivers are responsible for keeping their cars in safe condition, but some skip essential repairs.
Inadequate driver screening: When Uber or Lyft fails to properly vet a driver’s record, unsafe drivers can slip through the cracks.

If your accident was caused by one of these factors, a Brockton rideshare accident attorney can help you build a strong claim for compensation.

What to Do After a Rideshare Crash

Being involved in an Uber or Lyft accident can be disorienting, but what you do immediately after the crash can have a major impact on your health, safety, and ability to file a claim. Follow these steps to protect yourself and strengthen your case:

Seek medical attention: Your health comes first. Even if you don’t feel seriously hurt, it’s important to get checked out. Some injuries don’t show symptoms right away.
Report the crash: Call the police and file an accident report. This provides official documentation of what happened and may help identify the at-fault party.
Gather information: If you’re able, take photos of the scene, damage, and any visible injuries. Save your rideshare trip receipt in the app and collect witness names and contact information.
Contact a rideshare accident lawyer in Brockton: Rideshare claims are complex and involve multiple parties. The sooner you talk to a lawyer, the better your chances of recovering full compensation.

Every step you take after the accident can affect your case. Getting legal help early gives you the best shot at building a strong claim.

What a Rideshare Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

Uber and Lyft accident claims involve unique legal and insurance challenges. A skilled rideshare accident lawyer can guide you through the process and fight to maximize your recovery. Here’s how they can help:

Investigate the crash: Your lawyer will determine who’s legally responsible by reviewing all the facts, including the rideshare driver’s status at the time of the collision.
Gather evidence: This includes app data, trip logs, dashcam footage, witness statements, and your medical records.
Negotiate with insurance companies: Insurers often try to settle for less than your claim is worth. An attorney can push back and pursue full compensation.
Take your case to trial, if needed: If a fair settlement can’t be reached, your lawyer can present your case in court.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, about 95% of personal injury cases settle without going to court, but having strong evidence and experienced legal representation can make all the difference in the result.

I submitted a negative review a week or so ago. The next day I received a phone call from Jimmy himself. He was very professional and very concerned with the problems I was experiencing. He asked me to give him a couple hours and he would dig into the problem and get right back to me. Jimmy is truly a man of his word,he called me back as promised explained the situation and has talked to me several times since to insure that I was being taken care of.

23 January 2021

I was introduced to Jim through my nephew two years ago. We met socially and I liked him immediately. Six months later, i was injured at work, tearing my rotator cuff and separating my bicep from the bone. I contacted my employers insurance company,xxxxxxxxx, and I made a claim for long term disability, a premium that I had paid for a period of 16 years. I heard nothing from xxxxxxxxxx and mentioned it go my nephew. He told me to call Atty Glazer and ask him about it. I had surgery on both injuries and Jim followed up with me on my situation. He then told me that there is a firm that he partnered with that was extremely good at this particular set of circumstances: not paying on a claim. Jim said that he would get them in contact with me and that they, having a great amount of experience, would pursue my claim with his shepherding me through the long and involved process. He followed up after every meeting and IAB hearing with them to make sure all was on track and that i was comfortable with the process. I appreciate follow up on any situation and his is excellent! The settlement that his partnership obtained was well above my expectations by a factor of four. I recommend that anyone in a legal situation first speak to Jim and get him to oversee their situation which he will do with the upmost professionalism and concern. On a scale of 1-5, he is a 6!,
