Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are taking over the country, with more requesting rides using these apps than ever before. Millions of people use rideshare apps every day, usually without incident.
Considering this fact, you might assume it is a safe way to get around. Unfortunately, rideshare drivers can be negligent just like anybody else, and they often cause serious accidents that leave other people injured.
If you have suffered injuries in an accident caused by a rideshare driver, you should speak to a lawyer as soon as possible. Importantly, anyone injured in a rideshare accident can recover compensation, not just passengers. To schedule a free case evaluation with a Springfield rideshare accident attorney, contact TopDog Law today.

A personal injury attorney in Springfield can guide you through the complex insurance process and protect your legal rights.
While all car accidents have some complicating factors, rideshare accidents can be particularly complex because there are often more parties involved.
After a rideshare accident, you may wonder who must pay for your losses. Is it the driver? The company? Someone Else? As usual in legal matters, the answer is that it depends.
Generally speaking, if the driver had the app off, was not functioning in their capacity as a rideshare driver, and caused an accident, the rideshare company will not provide any insurance coverage.
If they had the app on and were waiting for a ride, were on their way to pick up a passenger, or were actively providing a ride, the rideshare company will provide coverage for any accidents the driver caused. That said, the coverage amounts can change depending on the exact thing the driver was doing at the time of the accident.
Rideshare accidents can happen in many of the same ways as other car accidents. However, some causes are unique to rideshares.
Some of the more common causes of rideshare accidents in Springfield include:
This is not an exhaustive list but a baseline for you to work with. Rideshare drives are like anyone else on the road, except they are making money while driving.Â
They have the added pressure of completing rides, which may lead them to engage in careless or even reckless driving. TopDog Law can represent your best interests if you are involved in a rideshare accident in Springfield.
Rideshare insurers often employ tactics to minimize settlements and, in some cases, deny claims after accidents. They may dispute liability, argue that you were at fault, or delay claim processing to reduce payouts.
Insurers may also scrutinize policy terms, looking for technicalities to deny coverage. Furthermore, they may undervalue property damage or downplay injuries, aiming to settle for less than deserved.
These practices aim to protect the company’s bottom line but can lead to contentious disputes with claimants seeking fair compensation. It underscores the importance of understanding policy terms and seeking legal counsel when necessary to ensure just settlements after rideshare accidents.
After a crash caused by another person, someone should pay for your losses.
Some of the more common losses victims pursue in rideshare accident claims include:
The insurance process can be contentious, so you should have a rideshare accident attorney in Springfield on your side. TopDog Law aims to secure the maximum compensation for your injury claim.
There are some ways you can help your case along, such as:
If you have suffered injuries in an accident a rideshare driver caused, you should speak to an attorney immediately.
