In a new statement to the press, I Accident Lawyer weighs in on the latest safety developments from Uber.

Los Angeles, California, September 30, 2019—

According to USA Today, the popular rideshare company Uber is testing some new passenger safety features. Specifically, Uber is developing an audio recording function that will allow passengers to record their drivers and file a real-time safety report, should they ever feel “uncomfortable” on their ride. In a new statement to the press, I Accident Lawyer comments on this new feature.

“We are pleased to see Uber expanding its Safety Toolkit,” comments the esteemed rideshare accident lawyer. “This new tool will be helpful to many, and it also underscores an important point about rideshare services in general: You just never know what kind of driver you’re going to get, and it’s always important to be vigilant.”

Indeed, the California-based Uber accident lawyer notes that, while rideshare companies go to great lengths to vet and train drivers, there’s ultimately no guarantee. “Not all drivers are going to be responsible or safety-conscious,” I Accident Lawyer says. “Be on the alert, and if you find yourself in a vehicle with a driver who makes you uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to use all the tools at your disposal.”

The firm notes that, in the event of an accident, it’s critical to contact an Uber or Lyft accident lawyer as quickly as possible. “If you’re injured, make sure you seek an attorney who is experienced in handling rideshare cases,” I Accident Lawyer concludes.
