Getting around a city has never been easier. Commuters need no longer rely on buses and taxis. They can now order a private car at a competitive rate. Uber has made this possible. It is the top rideshare company in America, and it has re-invigorated the private transportation industry.
Through Uber private citizens with cars can offer their services to the public as drivers. And although this has increased significantly the supply of private transports for hire, it has also led to increased risks to the public.
No training or qualifications are needed to become an Uber driver. This means that anyone, no matter how poor their driver record, can offer their services to the public. If you were such a passenger injured in an Uber car accident, you do have legal rights.
