How Rideshare Insurance Works
- App OFF: the driver’s personal policy applies.
- App ON, waiting for a ride: contingent liability coverage (state minimums) may apply in addition to the personal policy.
- En route to pickup or on trip: up to $1,000,000 in commercial liability coverage, plus other coverages depending on the case.

Common Rideshare Crash Scenarios We Handle
- Passengers injured inside Uber/Lyft
- Uber/Lyft drivers hit by another vehicle
- Pedestrians or cyclists struck by a rideshare
- Collisions caused by distraction from the app or navigation
Who Can Be Liable?
The rideshare driver, another motorist, insurers (including UM/UIM), and in some cases third parties (maintenance contractors, manufacturers). We analyze every avenue of liability so no coverage is left untapped.
Florida Law: Your Rights After a Rideshare Crash
Comparative Negligence (51% Rule)
You may recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault; your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
How We Prove Fault
- Duty: obligation to drive safely
- Breach: distraction, speeding, reckless driving, DUI, etc.
- Causation: the breach caused the crash
- Damages: medical, economic, and emotional losses
Key evidence: police reports, app logs (timestamps, trip status), EDR/telematics, CCTV, eyewitnesses, and medical records.
