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.
Speed is only one piece of the puzzle, and our guide to Uber and Lyft accident evidence explains the app data, GPS records, and video that can help prove what happened.
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.
