Ride-Share Crashes in California
Many Californians, especially those in large cities such as Los Angeles or San Francisco, are starting to rely on ride-share companies to get around. This means that when you’re involved in an accident, there’s a possibility that the driver was “on the job” when the crash happened.
When a ride-share driver is involved in a crash, receiving compensation following the accident can become complex. In some cases, recovering damages for the accident will involve Uber or Lyft’s insurance rather than the driver’s personal insurance. In order to navigate the many issues involved in ride-share relate crashes, it’s essential that you have the aid of an accident attorney.
