Rideshare services have become an extremely popular way to get around the Memphis area. While rideshares may seem like a convenient and safe way to get around the city, rideshare drivers can cause accidents just like anyone else.
Fortunately, when rideshare drivers cause accidents, victims can often recover compensation under Tennessee law. This is true for anyone hurt by a rideshare driver, including rideshare passengers, motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, or others.Â
If you have suffered injuries in an accident caused by a rideshare driver, it is in your best interest to contact one of the Memphis rideshare accident attorneys at TopDog Law as soon as you can.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
You should get legal representation after a rideshare accident in Memphis. The insurance process is convoluted, and various parties may be involved. The rideshare companies have an interest in saving money, as do their insurers. They may even employ attorneys to fight against claims.
Hire a Memphis personal injury lawyer to fight these companies for you. TopDog Law has the resources and experience to help injury victims and knows how to get victims the compensation they deserve.
Memphis is a densely populated metropolitan area, and there is often a higher amount of rideshares operating in this area. This simple fact can lead to more accidents. While rideshare companies have insurance, you may find it challenging to get the recovery you need.
There are several ways we can support you:
Every state has adopted different regulations for ridesharing services. Tennessee codified the Transportation Network Company Services Act (TNCSA) to establish some protections for consumers.
This legislation addresses the insurance requirements for all rideshare services.Â
Other intricacies may apply to your case under the TNCSA. A Memphis rideshare accident lawyer is knowledgeable about these and other laws that can apply to your insurance claim.
One of the things that makes rideshare accidents more complicated than accidents involving two non-rideshare drivers is the fact that more parties can be involved. This fact can make determining liability more difficult.
In general, rideshare companies have attempted to avoid liability for their driver’s actions by classifying them as independent contractors. That said, rideshare companies carry insurance that covers their drivers in certain situations.
Here is a breakdown of how liability in accidents caused by rideshare drivers usually works:
Importantly, the amounts of coverage provided can be different for different circumstances.
For example, under Uber’s policy, if a driver’s app is on and the driver is available, they provide $50,000 in supplemental coverage if the driver’s insurance does not apply. If the driver is en route to pick up a passenger or provide a ride, they provide $1,000,000 in primary coverage.
You can get rideshare services nearly anywhere, but they are more prevalent in urban or city centers. Memphis, a major city in the state, is a hotbed for these accidents.
Some dangerous areas where these accidents occur include:
Rideshare accidents can result from a combination of factors, some common to all types of accidents, and others specific to the nature of rideshare services.
Some of the more common causes of rideshare accidents that typically entitle victims to compensation include:
The use of smartphones for navigation and communication is a specific challenge for rideshare drivers. The gig nature of the job may also lead some drivers to work long hours, increasing the likelihood of fatigue-related accidents.
Identifying these causes of rideshare accidents is essential for accident prevention and determining liability when they occur. If you’ve been involved in a rideshare accident, consulting with a personal injury attorney is in your best interest.
Several situations can lead to a rideshare accident, and you can suffer injuries as a passenger, driver, or pedestrian. Depending on who you are, there can be different reporting requirements. There are steps that everyone should take regardless of your involvement in the rideshare accident.
Some steps that everyone should take include:
When rideshare drivers cause accidents, victims can often recover compensation for their economic and non-economic losses.
