Uber, Lyft, and Rideshare Accidents
Recovering compensation for a ridesharing accident claim can be very complicated. It is mainly because rideshare companies classify their drivers as independent contractors. Therefore, the rideshare companies cannot be held directly liable for an accident caused by their driver. This doesn’t mean that you can’t recover compensation. Our experienced rideshare accident lawyers from will help you explore different options for recovering compensation for your accident.
In Florida, ridesharing apps must purchase insurance covering their drivers. This insurance policy protects victims of rideshare accidents in the event of an accident caused by the rideshare driver. However, the availability of this policy depends on the status of the rideshare driver at the time of the accident. For example, if the driver of the rideshare vehicle was logged into the app and carrying a passenger at the time of the accident the rideshare apps insurance policy would cover the accident, however if the driver was logged in but not carrying a passenger only a minimum liability coverage applies. Contact our attorneys today for a FREE case evaluation to see what you can recover.

What to do if you’ve been injured in an accident:
- Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Whether this is the police, an employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained, don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
- Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
- Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
- Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.
The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact our experienced Florida Personal Injury Lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.
