Uber Accidents

Need An Injury Attorney Arkansas – Uber Accident

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have become increasingly popular in recent years. The ease of ordering a ride that is cheaper than a taxi cab from your smartphone and having it pick you up at a location whether you know the address or not makes life a lot more simple in cities that offer it like Little Rock. However, Uber accidents occur with too much frequency. This is mainly on the part that they do not vet their drivers as well as many commercial driving companies do.

An Uber driver must undergo a simple background check that only extends for the last 7 years. There are no mandatory drug testings and no maximum hours they can work. This means drivers suffer from fatigue as the low pay keeps them on the road for 12 hours or more a day. When the driver first signs up they must take the vehicle to a facility for a simple check of the vehicle maintenance and insurance policy showing commercial use. After that first step, they are free to cancel the expensive commercial policy in favor of a cheaper personal liability policy. Also, the car you step into may not have received the proper check-ups. The amount of driving most Uber drivers put on the car causes extreme wear and tear on the brakes and tires.

What makes the matter worse is the insurance coverage. Uber carries a million dollar insurance policy on each ride but it does not take effect until the passenger steps foot in the car. With drivers rushing to pick up a ride as quickly as possible, accidents are bound to happen. If you have been hit by an Uber driver then collecting from their insurance or from the Uber policy may be a daunting task.

The attorneys of Needaninjuryattorneyarkansas.com are here to help. We can process your claim and look for the cause of negligence. With modern technology, we have found most of these accidents occurred while the driver was in their 10th or more hour of continuous work. We will help you get the compensation you need and hold the negligent parties to answer. Handling this claim on your own will result in receiving the minimum compensation at best. Most of the time, individual victims will get the runaround from the driver’s insurance to Uber and back again. Sometimes all that is needed is a well-worded letter from an attorney on a professional letterhead to help the compensation flow to the victim. These companies fear litigation and will most likely settle the claim fairly. If they do not then we hold them accountable by taking them to court.

If you have been involved in an Uber or Lyft accident in the state Arkansas as either a passenger or driver of another vehicle or even a pedestrian or cyclists then contact the people of Needaninjuryattorneyarkansas.com for a free consultation. We will assess your claim and let you know the best course of action to moving forward.
