    Uber and Lyft Accident
    These rideshare companies have revolutionized the way we commute. Unfortunately, there is a definite downside to using a service like Uber or Lyft. Most companies are responsible for the negligence of their employees, but Uber and Lyft treat their drivers as independent contractors and that difference gives Uber and Lyft limited liability for the car crashes that its drivers cause.
     
    Uber and Lyft both have come under fire due to allegations of auto accidents, careless drivers and acts of violence against passengers. Victims of Uber and Lyft cases are put through a complicated and frustrating process dealing with the insurance companies and they are often denied compensation. At Karns & Karns, we can help. We have the skills, experience and resources our clients need to hold companies like Uber and Lyft accountable when their drivers cause you harm.

    Why are Uber and Lyft Accident Claims Complicated?

    Uber and Lyft accidents are complicated for a few reasons. These include:

    • There are new laws on liability and the regulations are sparse.
    • There is not a lot of existing case law for rideshare accident claims.
    • Uber and Lyft do not “hire” their drivers. They are contractors, which makes traditional liability claims against the rideshare company difficult.
    • Different layers of insurance policies may apply.

    These complications are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Because of these complications, anyone who is injured while riding in an Uber or Lyft vehicle should contact a lawyer right away.

    I have used the lawyers at Karns & Karns on a number of legal matters over the years. Their skill and expertise is unmatched in my opinion. When my family was the victim of fraud, I turned to the lawyers at Karns & Karns. After a long litigation battle which eventually went to arbitration, I was awarded over $1,500,000.00. The lawyers at Karns & Karns were extremely prepared and I would recommend them to anyone.

    I was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. Bill Karns was with me every step of the way. Even though the other driver said the accident was my fault, I recovered over $1,300,000.00. Mr. Karns was professional, courteous, and skilled. I would recommend him and Karns & Karns to anyone involved in a major personal injury case.

    I was traumatically injured on the job by a negligent forklift driver. I reached out to Karns & Karns when I began to suspect that my other attorneys didn’t have the expertise to resolve a complicated case where the defendant, a massive organization, said I was at fault. I’m certainly glad I did. Bill and Mike treated me with respect, knew the law, and did exactly what was necessary to make the defendant accept responsibility for their bad acts. I recovered $1,000,000.00, and I have Karns & Karns to thank for that.

    I can personally attest to the fact that Karns & Karns are perhaps the most responsive attorneys in California. To receive the sort of attention that I got from Mike and Bill is noteworthy.

    My experience with Karns & Karns is that they truly care. As a disabled veteran, I can’t ask for any better than two top gun lawyers whose main job is to get the best for me and my well-being.
