Houston Uber Accident Lawyer

Uber accidents can happen for many reasons, often tied to driver behavior, road conditions, or outside factors. Some of the most common causes include:

• Speeding, especially when drivers rush to complete trips or meet app incentives
  
• Distracted driving, including texting, using the Uber app, adjusting GPS, or engaging with passengers
  
• Drowsy driving, often resulting from long shifts, late-night hours, or insufficient rest
  
• General driver fatigue, particularly common among rideshare drivers juggling multiple jobs
  
• Aggressive actions like tailgating, rapid lane changes, or failing to obey traffic signals
  
• Poor vehicle maintenance that leads to mechanical problems or safety failures
  
• Negligence by other drivers, including running red lights or driving under the influence
  

Common types of accidents in these situations include:

• Multi-vehicle collisions involving several cars
  
• Intersection crashes where one driver fails to yield or misjudges timing
  
• Rear-end and T-bone collisions caused by sudden stops or improper turns
  
• Head-on crashes and rollovers, often at higher speeds
  
• Sideswipe accidents during lane changes or merges
  
• Hit-and-run incidents where the responsible driver leaves the scene
  
• Pedestrian accidents during Uber pickups or drop-offs
  
• Collisions involving other rideshare vehicles like Lyft, or taxis
  
• Accidents involving motorcycles, which face higher risks when sharing the road with rideshare vehicles like Uber
  
• Accidents with larger vehicles like trucks or buses
  
• Crashes linked to vehicle defects or faulty manufacturing
