The law surrounding a commercial vehicle’s responsibility for damage caused in an accident has grown increasingly complex in recent years. As rideshare apps such as Uber and Lyft grew in popularity, so did the commercial vehicle accidents rate. Drivers alleged that the companies themselves were responsible for the damage, while the companies said that their drivers were independent contractors.
