Understanding Rideshare Accidents in Virginia
Rideshare accidents involve vehicles that are part of a service that provides paid rides from one location to another via an app-based platform. The web of liability and insurance coverage questions makes these cases more complex than standard car accidents. Determining fault and responsibility is complicated by the presence of a rideshare company as an intermediary, which can obscure who is liable for damages resulting from an accident.

Navigating the Legal Maze of Rideshare Accidents
In the event of a rideshare accident, determining the liable party requires understanding the specific circumstances surrounding the accident.
These include investigating the following:
- Whether the rideshare app was active at the time of the accident
- Whether the passenger was being transported
- What other motor vehicles or parties were involved in the accident
- The insurance policies of all parties involved
Our attorneys have the knowledge and resources necessary to untangle these complexities. We meticulously investigate each case to ensure that all aspects of the accident are thoroughly examined, from the driver's employment status and insurance coverage to the ride-sharing company's policies and the actions of all parties involved.
Key parties that may be held liable in a rideshare accident can include:
- The rideshare driver: If the accident was caused by the driver's negligence or traffic law violations, they could be held directly responsible.
- The rideshare company: Companies like Uber and Lyft may bear liability, especially if the accident can be linked to their policies, such as inadequately screening drivers or failing to provide proper safety training.
- Third-party drivers: Other drivers involved in the accident may have violated traffic laws or acted negligently.
- Vehicle manufacturers: If a defect in the vehicle contributed to the accident, the manufacturer could be liable under product liability laws.
- Government entities: In cases where poorly maintained roads or malfunctioning traffic control devices played a role in the accident, a government entity may be liable.
