Ridesharing is a transportation service that allows you to book one-way rides to your destination, typically through an app or website. In Indiana, Uber and Lyft are two of the most popular rideshare companies. While these services are convenient alternatives to traditional taxis or public transportation, using them comes with significant risks.

- Failure to obey traffic signals
- Poor vehicle maintenance
If you suffered injuries in a rideshare accident in Indiana, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation.
