Common Causes of Uber Accidents in Edwardsville, IL
Uber accidents in Edwardsville, IL, can occur due to various factors, many of which are related to driver negligence or the unique challenges of the rideshare industry.
Some common causes of Uber accidents in Edwardsville, IL, include:
Distracted Driving: Uber drivers may be more prone to distractions, such as using the Uber app, navigating unfamiliar areas, or communicating with passengers, which can lead to accidents.
Fatigued Driving: Some Uber drivers may work long hours or drive late at night, increasing the risk of drowsy driving and related accidents.
Speeding and Reckless Driving: The pressure to complete more rides and earn higher fares may encourage some Uber drivers to engage in unsafe driving practices like speeding or aggressive maneuvers.
Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Uber drivers are responsible for maintaining their own vehicles, and failure to properly service or repair their cars can contribute to accidents.
Inadequate Driver Training: While Uber does conduct background checks on drivers, the company may not provide sufficient training on safe driving practices or handling challenging situations on the road.
The Dangers of Distracted Driving for Uber Drivers
Distracted driving is a leading cause of Uber accidents in Edwardsville, IL, and across the country.
Uber drivers face unique distractions that can increase their risk of causing an accident, such as:
Interacting with the Uber app to accept rides, navigate, and communicate with passengers
Scanning the roadside for passengers or addresses
Engaging in conversation with passengers
Eating, drinking, or grooming while driving
These distractions can take a driver’s eyes off the road, hands off the wheel, and mind off the task of driving safely, leading to serious accidents and injuries.

The Uber Driver: If the Uber driver’s negligence, such as distracted driving, speeding, or failing to follow traffic laws, caused the accident, they may be held liable for resulting injuries and damages.
Uber: In some cases, Uber may share liability for accidents involving their drivers, particularly if the company failed to screen or train drivers properly or if the accident occurred while the driver was actively using the Uber app.
Other Motorists: If another driver’s negligence contributed to the Uber accident in Edwardsville, IL, such as running a red light or failing to yield the right of way, they may also be held liable.
