Despite their popularity, rideshare services do not always offer the same level of safety as taxis do, due to a lack of regulation. Consequently, you may face a higher risk of accident and injury when you choose this mode of transportation.
Even without the extra regulations, Uber does provide commercial insurance to protect passengers who sustain injuries while on a trip. However, this insurance only provides coverage during the times a driver is “on app.”

While taxi companies carry adequate insurance, many times they are not on your side. Make sure your taxi and ride-share attorney has experience to provide you or a loved one with the compensation you deserve from a ride-share accident.

You have trusted the parent companies like Uber and Lyft to have done the necessary background checks to ensure your safety.

Brijbag Law can be trusted to handle your ride sharing auto accident claim.
