San Francisco Rideshare Accident Lawyer

Rideshare accidents have become far too common. Uber and Lyft vehicles are everywhere: on our city streets, roads, and freeways. The Bay Area is flooded with rideshare vehicles, many of which come from out of the area to work long hours in an unfamiliar environment. Rideshare drivers maximize their earnings by providing the quickest rides possible with the least downtime between fares. This hurried work pace can often lead to poor decision-making when it comes to safety. Our skilled car wreck injury lawyers have represented pedestrians, bicyclists, scooter riders, passengers, and even drivers who have been injured by rideshare driver negligence. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with a San Francisco rideshare accident lawyer.

Common Rideshare Company Defense Strategies

The San Francisco attorneys at Altair Law are experienced at defeating some of the common defenses the rideshare industry has thrown at accident victims, including the “independent contractor” defense. Uber and Lyft claim to have no control over their drivers and allege they are simply an app platform with no greater duty to protect the public. That doesn’t sit well with us. We recently defeated one rideshare company and obtained a favorable ruling confirming that rideshare companies owe a duty to members of the public injured by unsafe unloading practices.

Can a Wrongful Death Claim be Filed Following a Fatal Rideshare Accident?

Our lawyers in San Francisco have been litigating rideshare wreck cases since the start of rideshare and are proud to have handled the first wrongful death case against Lyft in California. Our experience means that our clients hold Uber and Lyft financially accountable for the damages their drivers cause. Rideshare companies can also be directly liable for their own negligence in allowing improperly screened drivers behind the wheel.
