Rideshare Accidents

As rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have increased in popularity in Florida and across the nation, so have accidents involving motor vehicles. Some have even blamed ridesharing for the increase in auto accident injuries and fatalities across the country in recent years. Rideshare accidents also present specific complexities regarding the recovery of compensation for those who have been injured.

The increasing popularity of rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft led to the passing of § 627.748 of the Florida Statutes in 2017 that increased mandatory minimum auto insurance limits for rideshare drivers.

The increased coverage ensures that injured motorists and passengers can collect compensation for economic and non-economic losses.

Florida is a no-fault insurance state, which allows you to collect Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits regardless of who is responsible for the accident. PIP benefits cover economic losses, which include medical bills.

If the rideshare driver was negligent or had a history of accidents, it may be determined that they are at fault for the accident. A Florida Uber and Lyft rideshare accident lawyer can prove liability for the accident by using evidence.
