Understanding Uber & Lyft Accidents in Fort Lauderdale

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.

The applicable layer depends on the app phase at the time of the crash key to maximizing your recovery.

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

  1. Duty: obligation to drive safely
  2. Breach: distraction, speeding, reckless driving, DUI, etc.
  3. Causation: the breach caused the crash
  4. Damages: medical, economic, and emotional losses

Key evidence: police reports, app logs (timestamps, trip status), EDR/telematics, CCTV, eyewitnesses, and medical records.

What Is My Case Worth?

Damages You Can Recover

Economic: medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, property damage, future care
Non-Economic: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, disfigurement

The severity of injury, treatment, and lasting impact drive case value.
