Speeding is a common cause of Uber and Lyft accidents. When a rideshare driver was speeding, liability may be clear, but proving it requires evidence. KP Law Group knows how to build strong rideshare cases.
Speeding Is a Major Factor in Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare drivers often feel pressure to:
- Complete trips quickly
- Accept back-to-back rides
- Meet app-based expectations
That pressure can lead to dangerous driving behavior.
How Speeding Is Proven in Rideshare Cases
KP Law Group investigates multiple data sources, including:
- App data and trip records
- Vehicle black box information
- Traffic camera footage
- Witness statements
- Accident reconstruction reports
Speed is often provable, even when drivers deny it.
Which Insurance Policy Applies
If the driver was actively transporting a passenger or en route to pick one up, Uber or Lyft’s commercial policy may provide up to $1 million in coverage.
KP Law Group confirms app status quickly to prevent coverage disputes.
Why Insurance Companies Push Back
Insurers often argue:
- Speed cannot be proven
- Another driver caused the crash
- Injuries are exaggerated
We counter these arguments with facts, not opinions.
