What are the Most Common Causes of Uber, Lyft, and Other Rideshare Accidents in Midland?
Rideshare drivers including those that work for Uber, Lyft, another company, or several at once depending on which platform is more active during their working hours operate from an app that requires them to consistently look down or over at their phones to identify the pick-up or drop off location of their passenger on the map.
This process significantly increases driver distraction, which is one of many negligent causes of rideshare traffic collisions throughout the Midland area.
Additional causes of Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare accidents in Midland include:
- Speeding
- Fatigue driving
- Reckless driving
- Failing to obey traffic signs and signals

Is the Driver or the Rideshare Company Responsible for My Financial Recovery?
Our Glen Larson Law Injury Attorneys Uber, Lyft, and rideshare accident attorneys use our investigative resources to determine the details of each crash victim’s case, so we can hold the liable party or parties responsible.
That means we must determine the driver’s status at the time of the accident before we can pursue more than one party for our client’s financial recovery needs.
The Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare driver is solely responsible for the collision if he or she was at fault for the crash and was not logged onto the rideshare app, but was simply driving their car, truck, or SUV for personal reasons — even if their vehicle has Uber or Lyft stickers in the window — which means their personal vehicle insurance coverage would be the target of a personal injury liability claim.
The rideshare company may hold limited liability when a crash occurs and their rideshare driver was operating their vehicle on behalf of the rideshare company, logged onto the app, but had not yet accepted a rider.
When a rideshare driver was logged into the app, had accepted, or was transporting a passenger at the time of the collision, the rideshare company’s umbrella insurance policy may be responsible for the injuries sustained during a collision, when we can prove that the rideshare driver was at fault.
