Who Is Liable After An Uber or Lyft Accident?

Description

In many cases, when a vehicle accident is caused by the driver of a commercial vehicle, the company that employs the driver can be held liable for any injury and damage expenses caused to other parties. However, that has not been the case with Uber and Lyft drivers. In California and throughout the United States, Uber and Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors. This means that the drivers insurance carriers remain largely responsible for handling accident compensation in many scenarios. If you or somebody you care about has been injured in an accident involving an Uber or Lyft vehicle, you need to seek legal assistance as soon as possible. At the Law Offices of John B. Richards, a skilled and experienced Santa Barbara Car Accident Lawyer is ready to step in to help investigate your case to secure the compensation you deserve.
