Establishing Negligence in Rideshare and Taxi Passenger Accidents
Successfully pursuing claims arising from rideshare or taxi accidents often hinges on proving negligence. Negligence occurs when a driver or company fails to exercise proper caution, leading to harm to another person. Drivers are legally obliged to operate vehicles safely, including maintaining awareness of pedestrians, road conditions, and other vehicles, and adhering to traffic laws. Failure to uphold this duty may constitute negligence.
If you have suffered serious injuries resulting in pain and suffering, as well as other damages from a rideshare or taxi accident, Trauma Law can help investigate whether negligence contributed to the incident, holding accountable those responsible for your injuries.
Proving negligence involves demonstrating:
- The responsible party owed a duty of care to you as a passenger.
- They breached that duty by acting negligently or failing to act when required.
- Their actions or inactions directly caused harm to you.
- The harm suffered can be clearly linked to their negligence.
In cases where clear traffic rules are violated, such as running red lights or stop signs, the responsible party may be presumed negligent unless proven otherwise. Our Los Angeles-based car accident attorneys not only ensure accountability for the at-fault party but also meticulously assess your case to determine if other entities, such as rideshare companies (e.g., Uber, Lyft), taxi services, delivery firms, construction companies, or employers, may share responsibility for the accident.
Assessing the Value of Your Claim
If you are seeking compensation for injuries sustained in a rideshare or taxi accident, you may wonder about the potential settlement amount. Compensation varies widely based on the specifics of your case. Our attorneys will evaluate factors such as insurance coverage, evidence from the accident scene, current and future medical expenses, legal strategy, impact on your ability to work, property damage, and overall life impact to pursue the maximum compensation possible.

Whether you or a loved one has been injured in a car crash involving Uber, Lyft, or a taxi in California, Trauma Law is dedicated to supporting you. Based in Los Angeles,
our accident attorneys understand the challenges of seeking justice while managing medical expenses, health issues, lost workdays, and the emotional toll of an accident. We are here to provide unwavering assistance in these critical times.
Drunk Driving
Regrettably, more accidents on the road involve drivers who are intoxicated. It’s clear that people who have been drinking and have cloudy judgment should not be driving. Yet, when they get behind the wheel, the results can be heartbreakingly severe for everyone, including the passengers and other drivers who might feel trapped.
We are here to secure a fair financial recovery and manage the legal battle while you focus on improving. We’ll also assist in arranging your medical care to ensure you’re supported throughout your recovery.
Distracted Driving
If you got hurt in a car crash because the other person wasn’t paying attention to their driving or wasn’t doing something they should have, you could ask for money because of their distracted driving. When a crash happens because someone was using their phone to talk or text, you can seek payment for any injuries you received.
Brake Malfunctions:
When brake systems fail on buses, the consequences can be catastrophic. These critical safety mechanisms are essential for stopping these large vehicles safely and preventing accidents. Whether due to negligence in maintenance or mechanical defects, brake malfunctions can lead to devastating collisions, endangering passengers and others on the road.
Worn Out Tires
Worn out tires pose a serious risk on the road, compromising traction and stability. These preventable failures can lead to devastating accidents, endangering passengers and others nearby. Proper maintenance and timely replacements are crucial to prevent such incidents.
Blind Spots
Blind spots can create significant hazards on the road, leading to unexpected accidents. These areas where drivers cannot see other vehicles or pedestrians pose a serious risk, potentially causing collisions and injuries. Improper monitoring of blind spots can result in tragic consequences, highlighting the importance of driver vigilance and awareness.
Following Too Closely
Not leaving enough distance between vehicles is a significant factor contributing to accidents on the road. When other vehicles follow too closely, it reduces reaction time and increases the risk of collisions. Maintaining a safe distance is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of all road users.
