Abogados de accidentes de Uber que prestan servicios en Austin

Empresas como Uber y Lyft están ampliando sus servicios de conducción a grandes áreas metropolitanas de todo el país. A medida que estos servicios se vuelven más populares, se vuelve más importante saber: qué sucede si se lesiona en un accidente automovilistico con un conductor de Lyft o como pasajero en un auto de Uber?

Uber y Lyft son servicios de automóviles compartidos que pueden ofrecer tarifas más bajas que los taxis. Al igual que las empresas de taxis, Uber y Lyft emplean a los conductores como “contratistas independientes”, por lo que en realidad no tienen la propiedad ni el control del vehículo real. Esto significa que, en la mayoría de las situaciones comunes de accidentes automovilísticos, intercambiaría información con el conductor del viaje compartido y pasaría por su propia compañía de seguros personal.

Consulte a un abogado de accidentes automovilísticos para asegurarse

Uber, Lyft y otras compañías de viajes compartidos brindan cobertura de seguro para accidentes automovilísticos (alrededor de $1,000,000), pero la cantidad disponible para un individuo se ve afectada por los factores individuales de cada situación de accidente única. En muchos casos, probablemente no podrá contar con $1 millones disponibles.

El hecho de que estos conductores de viajes compartidos se consideren “contratistas independientes” significa que es muy difícil responsabilizar a la empresa por una compensación. Si tiene problemas para reclamar el seguro del conductor, probablemente tendrá más dificultades para cobrarle a la compañía. Hasta que cambie el estado laboral de los conductores de viajes compartidos, estas son las condiciones que debe esperar si termina en una colisión de tráfico.

No tiene que luchar solo por la compensación que merece. Póngase en contacto con un Abogado de accidentes automovilísticos en Austin en FVF, LLP y representación legal dedicada segura
