Why Uber & Lyft Accident Claims Are So Complicated — Fault in Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare accidents involve three layers of insurance, and coverage changes depending on what the driver was doing at the time of the accident. Insurance companies like those behind rideshare services like Uber and Lyft never explain this clearly — and they use that confusion to underpay or deny your rideshare accident claim. Our rideshare accident attorney team knows exactly how these systems work and how to make sure you get the highest coverage available.

1. App Off — Driver Not Working
‍When the Uber or Lyft app is off, only the driver's personal insurance applies. If that driver causes an accident, you are dealing with their personal policy alone — which is often insufficient for serious injuries.

2. App On, Waiting for a Ride
‍When the rideshare app is on but the driver has not yet accepted a ride, Uber and Lyft provide limited liability coverage: $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident, and $25,000 in property damage. An experienced rideshare accident lawyer can help you determine whether this coverage applies to your accident case.

3. En Route to Pick Up or Transporting a Passenger
‍This is the highest coverage level — and the one rideshare companies fight hardest to avoid. When a driver is en route to pick up a passenger or actively transporting one, rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft provide up to $1,000,000 in liability coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, and contingent collision coverage. Our accident attorney team will investigate the accident to confirm the driver's status at the time of the accident and fight for maximum coverage.

Common Causes of Rideshare Accidents in Florida and Texas

Rideshare accidents include a wide variety of dangerous situations caused by the unique pressures rideshare services like Uber and Lyft place on their drivers. Uber and lyft drivers are under constant pressure to complete more rides faster — and that pressure causes accidents. Common causes of rideshare accidents include:

• Distracted driving — using the GPS, rideshare app, or texting at the time of the accident
• Speeding to complete more rides
• Fatigue from long shifts
• Unsafe pickups and dropoffs that cause an accident or block traffic
• Inexperienced drivers unfamiliar with local roads
• Drunk or impaired driving
• Poor vehicle maintenance not caught by rideshare companies like Uber
• Aggressive driving in heavy traffic

If any of these factors contributed to your accident, our experienced rideshare accident lawyer team will investigate the accident, gather evidence from the scene of the accident, and build a strong rideshare accident case on your behalf.

Common Injuries in Rideshare Accidents

Injured rideshare passengers and other victims of uber and lyft crashes often face serious, life-altering conditions. Rideshare accidents include injury types such as:

• Neck and back injuries
• Herniated discs
• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones
• Shoulder and knee injuries
• Internal injuries
• Nerve damage
• Psychological trauma
• Permanent disability

Our personal injury lawyer team makes sure every injury is documented, treated, and fully compensated. We work with medical professionals to build a complete picture of how your injuries have affected — and will continue to affect — your life.

Who Is Liable in a Rideshare Accident? Understanding Fault in Rideshare Accidents

Determining fault in rideshare accidents is rarely straightforward. Depending on the circumstances, the liable party could be the uber driver, the lyft driver, another motorist, the rideshare company itself, or a combination of all of these. Florida rideshare laws and Texas rideshare laws handle liability differently, and the driver or the rideshare company may each bear responsibility depending on the driver's status at the time of the accident.

Our rideshare accident lawyer can help you identify every liable party and pursue every source of compensation available. Whether you were injured in an accident involving a rideshare car, hit by an Uber, or injured in an accident involving multiple vehicles, our accident attorney team will investigate the accident thoroughly to determine fault and build your case.

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Rideshare Accident Lawsuit?

As a victim injured in a rideshare accident, you may be entitled to recover:

• Medical bills and future medical care
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Permanent disability
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Wrongful death damages

Our rideshare accident attorney team pursues every dollar available — including coverage provided by the rideshare company, the driver's personal insurance, and any other applicable policies. We do not settle for less than the compensation you deserve.

What to Do After an Uber or Lyft Accident — Steps to Protect Your Rideshare Accident Claim

What you do immediately after an accident can make or break your rideshare accident case. Follow these steps to protect your rights:

1. Screenshot the Uber or Lyft App: Trip details, driver information, and route data from the Uber or Lyft app are critical evidence in your rideshare accident claim. Capture this immediately.
2. Get Medical Attention: Even if you feel okay after the accident, seek treatment. Injuries from rideshare crashes often appear days later. Medical records from immediately after an accident are essential to your case.
3. Report the Accident: Report the accident to law enforcement and document the accident scene. Do not leave the scene of the accident before doing so.
4. Don't Talk to Uber or Lyft: Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft record everything. Let your rideshare accident lawyer handle all communication.
5. Don't Post on Social Media: Rideshare companies and their insurers monitor your accounts for anything they can use to reduce your rideshare accident claim.
6. Call Finman Law Group at 786-786-9633: Contact our rideshare accident attorney team as soon as possible. The sooner we get involved, the stronger your rideshare accident case.

Our rideshare accident lawyer can help you identify and pursue the right policy.

What if another driver caused the accident involving an Uber or Lyft?
‍If you were injured in an accident involving a rideshare vehicle and another driver was at fault, our accident attorney team pursues both the at-fault driver's insurance and the rideshare company's insurance. Many rideshare accident cases involve multiple liable parties — our experienced rideshare accident lawyer team investigates the accident thoroughly to make sure no coverage source is missed.

What if I was hit by an Uber or Lyft as a pedestrian or cyclist?
‍If you were hit by an Uber or Lyft vehicle while walking or cycling, you are entitled to pursue the rideshare company's insurance as well as the driver's personal policy.

How long do I have to file a rideshare accident lawsuit in Florida or Texas?
