Uber and Lyft’s ride-sharing service has grown in popularity. Connecticut auto accidents can happen to anyone, even those who are passengers in a vehicle where you do not know the driver.
Uber and Lyft drivers are responsible for all of their passengers, regardless of age. As a passenger there is generally not much liability, if any, in the accident. Here are the ways you can stay safe while the passenger in an Uber or Lyft car or a taxicab:
- If you are traveling with a child in Connecticut, make sure they are being transported in the car seat that is appropriate for their age/height/weight.
- Make sure the car seat is appropriately installed in the car prior to departure.
- Make sure the child is properly harnessed into the seat and facing the right direction.
