As more Uber and Lyft vehicles hit the streets, there has been a significant increase in the number of motor vehicle collisions caused by Uber and Lyft drivers. This is not surprising to those who work in motor vehicle accident law and crash litigation. Uber and Lyft are large, multi-national companies, but the drivers they hire are not professional drivers. Therefore, because of the nature of their work, Uber and Lyft drivers are at a greater risk for causing the types of collisions that cause serious injuries and traffic fatalities.
