Rideshare Cases on the Rise
Today's mobile world gives people new choices in their transportation, and rideshare use has increased significantly in recent years as an alternative to taxis, limousines, and private car drivers. With the popularity of rideshare apps in the United States and around the world, there are increasing numbers of legal cases (civil and criminal) involving rideshare drivers or companies. Accordingly, there are many legal issues in a case involving a rideshare incident that require special knowledge—and engineers can only apply academic and peer-driven, article-based or science-based opinions on most issues. Specialized knowledge based on experience driving for a rideshare company, coupled with analysis of contracts, state laws, and legal obligations can provide valuable insight and evidence in a court of law.
Ridesharing is the modern equivalent of hitchhiking 50 years ago.
Except, instead of pitching in for gas with a little cash, riders pay with their phone.
