Antes de postularse para conducir para Lyft o Uber, debe tener en cuenta la seguridad del conductor de viajes compartidos. En la era digital actual, las historias de terror sobre viajes compartidos ya no son nuevas. Probablemente esté pensando que estas compañías están haciendo lo mejor que pueden para garantizar la seguridad de sus conductores.

Sin embargo, su capacidad para proteger a sus conductores es relativamente limitada debido a la naturaleza de su negocio. Los conductores se consideran personas que trabajan por contrato, no empleados, lo que significa que no se exige una capacitación válida en seguridad y, por lo tanto, muchos conductores no saben cómo reaccionar ante situaciones de emergencia.

Seguridad del conductor de viajes compartidos según los números

Con respecto a las amenazas a los conductores, las compañías de viajes compartidos afirman que mantienen un registro detallado de las mismas. No obstante, las compañías se niegan a hacer públicos los números. Al observar los datos publicados por los reguladores federales, probablemente entienda por qué los conductores a menudo necesitan asesoramiento legal de parte de abogados especializados en viajes compartidos.

Según las estadísticas, es 20 veces más probable que asesinen a taxistas en su horario laboral que a otros tipos de trabajadores. Los conductores de viajes compartidos enfrentan muchos de los mismos riesgos, si no es que enfrentan exactamente los mismos.

La Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales también publicó un informe en 2014 en donde se estableció que la impactante suma de 3,200 taxistas fueron asesinados o heridos en su horario laboral. Alrededor del 5.6 % de ellos ha sufrido una lesión causada por un pasajero o una persona violenta. Debido a cifras como estas, la cantidad de conductores que obtienen seguro de viajes compartidos está aumentando lentamente.

Las compañías de viajes compartidos son conscientes del riesgo

A juzgar por la acción de las compañías de viajes compartidos, no desconocen por completo los riesgos de seguridad que representan para los conductores. Sin embargo, todavía se niegan a reclasificar a sus conductores como empleados, probablemente porque quieran evitar gastos adicionales. En su lugar, están encontrando otras formas de abordar el problema, algunas de ellas bastante extrañas.

Recientemente, Uber ha probado un juguete que aparentemente distrae a los pasajeros ebrios y con mal comportamiento para que no molesten a los conductores y eviten eventualmente ponerse ellos mismos en peligro y poner en peligro a otras personas en el camino. La compañía de viajes compartidos cree que la mejor manera de evitar que los pasajeros muestren un comportamiento perjudicial y peligroso es entretenerlos y calmarlos.

También hay informes que dicen que Uber está probando cómo los espejos afectarían a los pasajeros si pudieran ver su reflejo. La idea detrás de este concepto es permitir que los pasajeros reflexionen sobre su comportamiento rebelde, tanto en sentido literal como figurado.

En general, los conductores de las compañías de viajes compartidos deben valerse por sí mismos. Más conductores eligen no conducir durante las primeras horas de la noche y evitan recoger pasajeros borrachos. Aunque afecte su ingreso, su seguridad es su prioridad.

Hay abogados especializados en viajes compartidos que se comprometen a proteger a los conductores y sus derechos. En caso de que se encuentren con situaciones desafortunadas en su horario laboral, los conductores necesitan abogados que estén dispuestos a defender sus derechos y obtener la mayor indemnización posible cuando la negligencia provoca lesiones y otros daños.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
