Can Uber or Lyft Be Sued for Hiring a Dangerous Driver? | Miami Rideshare Lawyer
Can Uber or Lyft be held responsible if their driver had a bad record or criminal history? In some cases — yes. If a rideshare company failed to properly screen a driver — for example, ignoring a history of reckless driving, prior accidents, or a criminal record — the company itself can be held liable for negligent hiring, on top of the driver's own individual responsibility for causing the crash. These claims require deeper investigation than a standard rideshare accident case, but they can significantly increase the value of your claim by adding Uber or Lyft's corporate liability alongside the driver's. In this video, a Mausner Group personal injury attorney explains how negligent hiring claims work against rideshare companies in Florida, what evidence is needed to prove one, and why something that "felt off" about your driver before the crash may be more legally significant than you realize. If something about your Uber or Lyft driver felt off before your accident in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or anywhere in Florida — that matters. Let's investigate together.
