Cincinnati Uber and Lyft Accident Attorney

Uber and Lyft are popular modes of transportation throughout the world. With your mobile device, you can easily book a ride at an inexpensive rate. Uber and Lyft drivers are expected to follow driving regulations and drive safely when we use their services.

While Uber and Lyft accidents have increased dramatically over the past few years, users of these services are also suffering from more accidents. Have you ever wondered why such accidents occur? In Uber and Lyft accidents, the most common causes include:

• Distracted Driving
  Distracted driving is a leading cause of accidents in Uber and Lyft. Drivers sometimes unsafely search and enter information while driving or otherwise ignore the road.
• Speeding
  Uber and Lyft accidents are commonly caused by speeding. Drivers are sometimes trying to maximize time for rides by speeding in-between rides or even while riders are present.
• Drunk Driving
  Driving under the influence is a severe offense and may be the cause of a rideshare accident. Uber or Lyft drivers may be driving under the influence.
• Inexperienced Drivers
  There is no need for a special license to drive for rideshare companies. As a result, an inexperienced Uber or Lyft driver may cause a serious or even fatal accident. These accidents can affect more than just the driver and passengers; other drivers, buses, trucks, motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians, or bikers may be injured as well.
