Common Causes of Uber and Lyft Accidents

Uber and Lyft accidents can occur due to a variety of factors. It's important to identify the cause of the accident to determine who may be held liable for your injuries. Some common causes of Uber and Lyft accidents include:

  1. Distracted Driving: Uber and Lyft drivers may become distracted by their smartphones, navigation devices, or conversations with passengers, leading to accidents.
  2. Driver Fatigue: Long working hours and irregular schedules can result in driver fatigue, increasing the risk of accidents.
  3. Speeding: Some drivers may exceed the speed limit to reach their destination quickly, compromising safety.
  4. Intoxicated Drivers: If the Uber or Lyft driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, their impaired judgment can cause serious accidents.
  5. Defective Vehicles: Faulty brakes, tires, or other mechanical issues can contribute to accidents involving Uber or Lyft vehicles.
