Call Us Now (702) 444-5555

Uber and Lyft play a key role in modern Las Vegas transportation. This approach to getting around makes it easier for locals and tourists to navigate the city with minimal hassle. These services are highly regarded in Vegas, which is rated among the top ten ridesharing cities on the Uber app.

Unfortunately, while ridesharing makes travel convenient, it is not without risks. Not all drivers are trustworthy. Some regularly engage in problematic behaviors, such as speeding or driving while texting. No matter the driver, vehicle accidents are always possible — and far too many prove tragic. Sadly, a total of 178 fatal crashes occurred in Clark County in 2021.

While the Nevada Traffic Safety Crash Facts does not specifically outline statistics for ridesharing accidents, a study from the University of Chicago's Stigler Center reveals that the rise of ridesharing correlates with a reverse in the decline of traffic fatalities. These had previously reached a new low in 2010 before increasing notably alongside the rise of Uber and Lyft.

What to Do If You're Injured in a Las Vegas Uber or Lyft Accident

The first steps to take after a ridesharing accident are similar to those advised after any car crash: seek medical attention, contact law enforcement and get a legal professional in your corner. With prompt documentation and the assistance of a Las Vegas rideshare accident lawyer, you may be able to secure compensation for your injuries.

Another often forgotten step? Gather information about your Uber or Lyft driver. Often, passengers struggle to identify their drivers. As a result, it is often difficult to track them down. Do not forget to gather contact information from the other driver involved in the accident, as well as any passengers or other witnesses who could provide valuable insight into the circumstances of the crash. Pictures can also prove useful, so take a moment to capture images of the scene of the accident.

What About Las Vegas Drivers Injured in Uber or Lyft Accidents?

Perhaps you're one of the many Uber or Lyft drivers currently operating in the Las Vegas area. No matter how careful you are, accidents remain a frightening possibility. Your conduct both before and after a ridesharing accident will determine the outcome of your case. You'll need to maintain your own personal insurance coverage depending on the specifics of your situation, although Uber and Lyft's third-party liability arrangements may kick in.

As an insured Uber or Lyft driver, a lot depends on your status at the time of the accident: offline, waiting for a ride request or en route. Because of these complications, you'll definitely want legal support should you (or your passengers) be harmed in a crash caused by a negligent driver.

Las Vegas Rideshare Accident Lawyer FAQs

How does Nevada's at-fault approach to car crashes impact ridesharing accidents? Expand

In Nevada, drivers who are deemed at fault for car accidents are obligated to pay for any damages or injuries they may have caused. This applies to "standard" drivers and ridesharing drivers alike.

How does Nevada's system of modified comparative negligence apply to ridesharing cases? Expand

In Nevada, those who are over 50 percent to blame for accidents are unable to recover damages. This can add a huge degree of risk to your case if both you and the other driver are thought to share responsibility for the crash. Even if you don't hold the majority of the blame, your damages may be reduced if you're found to be partially at fault.

How much do Uber and Lyft provide in third-party liability coverage when drivers are en route? Expand

Both Uber and Lyft offer $1 million in third-party liability during rides in which the app is on. Additionally, both platforms offer uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage.

What are transportation network companies? What types of oversight does the state of Nevada provide? Expand

According to the Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 706A, transportation network companies can be defined as businesses that connect drivers and passengers via digital communication tools such as ridesharing apps. In Nevada, ridesharing providers must obey all local traffic laws and have their traffic history evaluated every few years.
