Common Causes of Ride-Share Accidents
Among the most common causes of Ride-Share accidents are:
- Distracted driving: Ride Share drivers can be distracted by their phones and messages from their company or others.
- Fatigued Drivers: Many Ride-Share drivers work very long hours or take ride-share shifts after completing another job. Their long hours on the road can easily lead to driver fatigue, impacting their ability to react quickly and make sound decisions.
- Inexperienced drivers: Some ride-share drivers may lack the experience and training to navigate challenging driving situations.
- Reckless driving: Speeding, aggressive driving, texting while driving, driving while impaired, and other reckless behaviors can increase the risk of accidents.
- Poor maintenance: Ride-Share vehicle maintenance is often not as closely monitored as it should be by ride-share companies. Poor maintenance can lead to catastrophic injuries.
Ride-share accidents can have devastating consequences, leaving victims with serious injuries and unpaid bills.
