Why Uber & Lyft Accidents Are Different
Unlike traditional car accidents, rideshare collisions often involve multiple insurance policies. Depending on whether the driver was:
- Offline
- Waiting for a ride request
- On the way to pick up a passenger
- Transporting a passenger
Different insurance coverage may apply.
Determining which insurance company is responsible can be complicated. Our attorneys investigate every detail to identify all available sources of compensation and maximize your recovery.
Common Causes of Uber & Lyft Accidents
Many rideshare crashes occur because drivers spend long hours on the road and constantly interact with the rideshare app.
Common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Failure to yield
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driver fatigue
- Aggressive driving
- Improper lane changes
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Poor vehicle maintenance
No matter how your accident happened, our attorneys are ready to investigate and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Who Can File an Uber or Lyft Accident Claim?
You may have a claim if you were:
- An Uber passenger
- A Lyft passenger
- Driving another vehicle
- A pedestrian

Frequently Asked Uber & Lyft Accident Questions
Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly?
In most cases, claims involve insurance coverage rather than suing the rideshare company itself. However, every case is unique, and we can determine the best legal strategy.
What if I was a passenger?
Passengers are rarely at fault. You may have claims against the rideshare driver’s insurance, another driver’s insurance, or both.
How much is my case worth?
The value depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and long-term impact on your life.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Florida law limits the amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
