UBER, Lyft, & Scooter Accidents
Ride shares are an everyday part of modern life and we expect them to get us safely from Point A to Point B.

It depends! But, usually it’s not the passenger. Fault could fall on the driver of the Uber or Lyft you’re riding in if they are the one performing negligent or illegal traffic activity. If you’re in a rideshare, are hit by another driver, and the Uber/Lyft driver is obeying all traffic laws then it’s likely the other driver is at fault. Of course, should you be in an accident while in a rideshare, be sure to obtain a police report and document the scene.

It depends. Nothing is promised and oftentimes, settlement amount depends on your physical injuries and other variable factors. Dealing with corporate attorneys can be difficult, and filing personal injury claims against a major company is a major task. Locke Henry Law has dealt with rideshare giants before, and you can feel confident in hiring us to handle your rideshare injury case.

Be aware of your surroundings and take it slow, especially if it’s your first time on a scooter and you’re in an unfamiliar area. Don’t ride a scooter if you’re intoxicated. Remember that you should only have one person on the scooter at a time. Due to the nature of rentable scooters, you might not have a helmet readily available, but wearing a helmet is always a good idea.
