Rideshare Uber Lyft Accident

Rideshare Accident Attorney in Boca Raton

Representing Clients Involved in Uber & Lyft Accidents in Central & Southern Florida

Rideshare services made their debut in the United States in 2009. These days, more than 58 million people around the U.S. use Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare programs to get from one place to the next. While these rideshare companies offer a convenient way to travel, at what cost to the passengers?

Basically, anyone who can pass a background check can become an independent contractor for the rideshare companies. There are more than 100 thousand Florida Uber drivers alone who operate. That’s just Uber, not including Lyft drivers and those drivers who are employed by other rideshare platforms.

Although ridesharing is considered effective, efficient, and convenient, it does not come without risks. In fact, studies conducted by the University of Chicago and Rice University found that rideshare accidents resulting in death have steadily increased by 2% to 3% annually over the past several years.

What Is Ridesharing?

Rideshare companies, also referred to as Transportation Network Companies offer a driver for hire service for consumers. They do this by hiring contracted freelance drivers who use their own private vehicles to transport people from location to location.

The core idea is to maintain low-cost and convenient alternatives for people to travel from place to place. Ridesharing services allow people to use apps on their phones to request rides and to pay for services.

Therefore, ridesharing requirements typically include:

  • A smartphone
  • A verified method of payment
  • And of course, installing the ridesharing app itself

Uber & Lyft

When it comes to ridesharing in Central or Southern Florida, the two most common options are the two mega-companies: Uber and Lyft. Uber is by far the most popular rideshare option throughout Boca Raton, Orlando, and all of both Central and Southern Florida, as well as across the rest of the country.

The company was founded in San Francisco in 2009 under the original name of “UberCab.” They quickly expanded out from California and the service is now prevalent in well over 60 countries. People who want to use Uber simply download the app on their phone, enter their personal information, and request a ride. It’s as simple as that!

Uber offers a variety of vehicle sizes and styles, which allows you to select whichever type of vehicle you feel best suits your needs and party size.

These options include: 

  • UberPool
  • UberBLACK
  • UberSelect
  • UberXL
  • UberSUV
