Ride Share Accidents
Rideshares have become the newest and easiest way to get around town. A survey done by Pew Research Center reports over a third of Americans have used a ridesharing service at least once. With its growing popularity, more and more people have found themselves in a rideshare accident.
According to a new study from the University of Chicago and Rice University, ridesharing services like Lyft and Uber have caused a 2% to 4% increase in fatal accidents since 2011. The ever-growing demand of rideshare services will likely only increase this number of accidents.
