Las Vegas’ Best-Rated Lawyers For Uber & Ridesharing Accidents
Have You Been Injured in an Uber Car Crash? Here are the Steps to Take:
If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident involving Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare service, contact the Las Vegas Ride Sharing Accident Attorneys at Benson & Bingham to discuss your legal options. Transportation network companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft are regulated in Nevada under Chapter 706A of the Nevada Revised Statutes, with oversight by the Nevada Transportation Authority (NTA). Nevada law establishes specific requirements for TNC permits, drivers, insurance coverage, and other aspects of rideshare operations. Nevada law requires transportation network companies such as Uber and Lyft to maintain transportation network company insurance during specified periods of a driver’s work. When a driver is providing transportation services, the law requires at least $1 million in coverage for bodily injury, death, and property damage arising from an accident. Different minimum coverage requirements apply when a driver is logged into the app and available for a ride but has not yet accepted a request. If you are pursuing a personal injury case in Downtown Vegas, our experienced attorneys can provide the expert guidance you need.
Screening for drivers of Uber and Lyft are done by the respective companies, who drive their own vehicles for a fee. The popularity of the service has grown by leaps and bounds as the prices often undercut the competition and afford passengers a viable option, especially in underserved residential neighborhoods where taxicabs are often not present.
