Navigating ridesharing accidents can be very challenging. Despite Uber and Lyft entering the roads a little more than a decade ago, states are still feeling their way through the new service landscape. California made headlines requiring Uber and Lyft to consider all drivers employees as opposed to independent contractors. This law may have a profound effect on who is liable in the event of an accident. Here in North Carolina, the Passenger Safety Act, 2019 requires rideshare drivers to have license plates on the front of their vehicles and identify lit signs.

As the legal landscape surrounding ridesharing apps continues to evolve, insurance companies may use the murky liability laws to deny your claim. Many accident victims are left feeling frustrated, confused, and defeated.

It is important for you to know you are not alone.  At Nagle & Associates, P.A., we have a unique perspective. Attorney Carl Nagle is a former insurance claims adjuster and defense lawyer who uses his vast experience to help injured North Carolinians.

What an Asheville Uber/Lyft Rideshare Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

The most challenging aspect for an Uber accident attorney is determining who will be covering your medical bills. Every rideshare crash in Asheville is unique and must be handled with attention to detail.

For example, if you are a passenger and your Uber or Lyft driver causes your accident;

• Do you file a claim with your driver’s insurance? Many auto insurance companies state in their policy agreements that they are only responsible for collisions for personal use of the vehicle, not ridesharing.
• Do you file a claim with the ridesharing company? If your driver opted out of their liability insurance through Uber or Lyft, they might deny your claim, as well.

For Uber or Lyft ridesharing accidents, the success of your claim will come down to the skill, experience, and resourcefulness of your personal injury attorney. When you need an Uber accident lawyer in Asheville, call Nagle & Associates, P.A. today.

Are Uber and Lyft Ridesharing Apps Behind the Rise in Traffic Accidents?

1. Traffic congestion is worse with more Uber and Lyft drivers on the road.
2. Public transportation is down due to the convenience of ridesharing.
