Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents

While ridesharing is generally considered to be safe, Uber and Lyft accidents can be extremely dangerous. Passengers are often relaxed, simply assuming that they will arrive safely at their destination. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Rideshare accidents can happen to virtually anyone at any time, day or night. However, most rideshare accidents are the result of negligence or carelessness on the part of the driver. Some of the common causes of these crashes include:

  • Reckless driving
  • Driving under the influence
  • Failing to maintain a properly functioning vehicle
  • Parking improperly/unsafely
  • Fatigue from working too many hours
  • Looking for passengers awaiting rides
  • Driving while distracted
