    Rideshare Drivers at Risk: Targets of Assaults and Violence

    The issue of ridesharing drivers’ safety is a growing concern as more incidents of driver safety breaches catch everyone’s attention. Although there are some basic safety features incorporated by the ridesharing companies, like the driver ratings and the sharing of trip details with friends and family, it has not been enough for the drivers’ safety.

    To-dos to follow if you’re a rideshare driver who got involved in an accident

    Duty should never be translated into danger or uncalled harm. If you’re a rideshare driver whose safety was put into question while being on duty, this is a systemic approach to follow to seek legal justice as soon as possible.

    This is what you should do:

    • Safety First: Check for injuries, both for yourself and the passengers you were carrying. If you see major injuries, immediately call emergency healthcare services.
    • Documentation: Document every detail of the accident scene through manual note-taking, photos, videos, etc. Every damage should be documented, be it to a vehicle or a human. These small details help later in the jury trial of the case.
    • Reporting to the police: Having a legal record of the accident is of utmost importance, especially when a person has to claim insurance or file a lawsuit. Police reports of the accident can be a really helpful source of evidence, as it is highly trusted and reliable.
    • Inform the rideshare company: Immediately notify your ridesharing company about the accident that took place. There are certain protocols and procedures that are being followed by the ridesharing companies, which must be taken care of in case of legal or insurance issues.
    • Seek legal help:Unfolding a lawsuit or an injury claim all by your own can be a difficult and complex process. Navigating a rideshare accident can be way easier if you contact a qualified rideshare driver accident lawyer who can help you understand the technicalities and assist you in the entire legal journey.

    Sexual Violence Against Women Behind the Wheel

    As empowering as it sounds for women to be working as rideshare drivers, it is equally threatening for them. Day by day, the safety of these women is put at risk as reports of sexual assaults and molestation come into the limelight. These assaults usually happen when female drivers are working their late-night shifts or are picking up passengers from isolated and poorly lit areas. This is a growing concern for the major ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft.

    Ridesharing companies hold a non-negotiable responsibility to protect their drivers from mishappenings and the failure of it only indicates the lack of accountability on their part. It is important to know that one should hold these companies liable for their lack of safety and responsibility.

The team of lawyers at Have A Lawyer can assist and support you with every step, be it investigation, filing of claims, or seeking the deserved compensation.
