Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents in Fresno
While similar to typical car accident claims, rideshare crashes often involve unique factors: Accidents involving rideshare vehicles typically happen for the same reasons as other car accidents.
Distracted driving from looking at the rideshare app during a ride request
Driver negligence, such as speeding or running red lights
Fatigued driving after long shifts behind the wheel
Impaired driving, including DUI-related rideshare crashes
Inexperience with Fresno roads and traffic patterns
Long hours and fatigue often lead rideshare drivers to cause accidents.
Fresno Rideshare Accident Statistics
Fresno continues to face high rates of traffic collisions, directly affecting the risk of Uber and Lyft accidents.
In 2022, Fresno County recorded 5,314 victims killed or injured in traffic crashes, ranking 21st out of 58 counties in California according to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).
Data from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), developed by UC Berkeley SafeTREC, shows Fresno consistently reports thousands of injury collisions annually, with over 1,600 crashes involving injuries in 2024.
The Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) confirms that Fresno’s intersection fatal injury rate (4.06%) is approximately 73.5% higher than the California city average (2.34%), and its serious injury rate (10.38%) is 12.8% higher than average.
These figures highlight why many people consult a Fresno rideshare accident lawyer to help navigate the legal and insurance challenges after an Uber or Lyft accident.
Understanding Your Rights After a Rideshare Accident in Fresno
If you’ve been involved in a rideshare accident with an Uber driver or Lyft driver, you should:
Seek immediate medical attention – Injuries like internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord injuries may not appear right away. It’s crucial for victims of rideshare accidents to seek medical attention immediately to document injuries that could support future claims.
Document the accident scene – Take photos, collect driver and witness information, and note the accident date and time.
Report the crash to the rideshare operator – Uber and Lyft require reporting through their apps.
Consult a Fresno rideshare accident attorney – An attorney can help with determining liability, reviewing insurance policy limits, and filing an insurance claim.
