As Miami Uber accident injury lawyers, we wondered just how many Uber and Lyft drivers are in Miami. Well, we finally know how many drivers are in Miami-Dade County now.
As part of the deal with Miami-Dade County on the issue of licensing, both companies needed to provide the number of registered drivers in Miami-Dade County. As of July 2016, Uber has 9478 registered drivers and Lyft has 3362 drivers registered in Miami-Dade County according to recent reports. That gives Uber a 3 to 1 advantage in Miami.
That advantage only figures to grow as Uber grows with the recently deployed UberEATS which has Uber drivers delivering food from over 100 restaurants in the eastern corridor of Miami and South Broward. Looking at the bigger picture, we now know there are at least 12,830 Uber and Lyft drivers in Miami who can deliver people and food 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Uber Driver Accident Attorneys in Miami
These Uber drivers work hard and sometimes, in dangerous conditions. On any given shift, an Uber driver can go from a great passenger to a rude one to a drunk or impaired rider. It is this unpredictability that causes stress for Uber drivers on top of the usual challenges of driving safely. If you are an Uber driver and were injured in a car accident, you will want to find the best Uber accident lawyer for your case. Make sure the Miami personal injury attorney you select understands your role as an Uber driver.
As Uber accident attorneys in Miami, we understand how Uber and Lyft drivers work. In fact, a member of our Miami personal injury team is a former Uber and Lyft driver. We know a fair number of drivers operate both Uber and Lyft apps at the same time to increase their chances of picking up rides. As one ride request comes in the driver accepts it and then shuts down the other app.
Every Uber driver goes through the same thing when they get a ride request. First they get excited. Maybe this trip will be a long one with a great passenger who tips. But the second feeling is apprehension. This is a stranger they are picking up. Maybe they aren’t nice or even safe. What if they want to go to a bad neighborhood? Uber drivers have the option of declining a ride request, but if they turn too many down their ratings will suffer. Furthermore, Uber has a gun prohibition policy. The options for self-protection for Uber and Lyft drivers are limited.
