Two identical rideshare crashes can have wildly different amounts of insurance behind them, and the difference often comes down to one fact that has nothing to do with how badly you were hurt: what the driver’s app was doing at the moment of impact. Your injuries determine what your claim is worth. The driver’s app status determines how much insurance Florida required to be in place to pay it. Florida wrote two insurance requirements for a working rideshare driver into one statute and left crashes with the app off to ordinary auto rules. The insurance company decides which of those situations it thinks applies to your crash before you have any say in it.
I am Prosper Shaked, and at Prosper Injury Attorneys I handle Uber and Lyft crash claims for passengers, for people hit by rideshare drivers, and for rideshare drivers themselves. Florida’s rideshare statute is one of the few places in injury law where the coverage available to you is set by a status the company controls the record of. When that status is called wrong, the claim gets measured against the wrong pool of coverage, and correcting it is usually the first real fight in the case.
Uber And Lyft Accidents In Florida: Quick Answers
Who is liable after an Uber or Lyft crash in Florida? Whoever caused the crash, which is usually a driver rather than a company. Where three statutory conditions are met, Florida shields a rideshare company from being held responsible for its driver’s conduct through its role as the network operator. That same statute requires substantial insurance, and the shield expressly does not reduce it. Compensation is therefore generally reached through that required insurance rather than through a claim against the corporation.
How much insurance applies to my Uber or Lyft accident? It depends on the driver’s app status. Under Fla. Stat. § 627.748, a driver logged on but not yet on a ride must carry at least $50,000 per person, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 in property damage coverage. A driver engaged in a prearranged ride must carry at least $1 million. Those are statutory minimums rather than caps, so an actual policy can be larger. When the app is off, the statute’s rideshare requirements do not apply at all, and the coverage has to be identified the way it would be after any ordinary crash, including the driver’s policy, your own coverages, and any other source that applies.
When exactly does the $1 million minimum start? When the driver accepts the ride request, not when you get in the car. Florida defines a prearranged ride as beginning when the driver accepts the request, continuing through the trip, and ending when the last rider exits the vehicle. A driver on the way to pick you up is already in the $1 million tier.
Can I sue Uber or Lyft directly? Usually the claim is not brought against the company, and the statute is the reason. Sec. 627.748(18) provides that a rideshare company is not liable by reason of owning, operating, or maintaining its digital network, or by being the company affiliated with the driver, where three conditions are met. That shield is conditional rather than absolute, and it expressly does not reduce the insurance coverage or the policy limits that the same statute requires.
I was a passenger. Whose insurance pays my medical bills? In the cases I handle, personal injury protection is where it starts, providing up to $10,000 in medical and disability benefits under the terms of the policy that supplies it. That PIP may come from your own auto policy or from a resident relative’s policy, because a Florida auto policy generally provides PIP to its named insured and to relatives living in that household, unless a relative has been validly excluded, which can reach you even if you own no car. In the cases I handle, the rideshare policy has then carried medical payments coverage, known as MedPay, typically $5,000, which added to what PIP paid rather than replacing it. That benefit is not something the statute requires, so whether it exists has to be confirmed policy by policy.
Does the rideshare company’s policy include PIP during my ride? Florida does not require it to. The statute measures the PIP requirement during a prearranged ride against what is required of a limousine, and Florida exempts limousines from the PIP requirement, so there is no statutory PIP floor for that period. A particular policy may still provide something, but nothing in the statute compels it, which is why the PIP available to you personally matters so much as a rideshare passenger.
How long do I have to file? For most Florida rideshare crashes on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a negligence lawsuit under Fla. Stat. § 95.11. Crashes before that date fall under the older four-year window, so the exact deadline depends on when the crash happened.
Does it matter whether it was an Uber or a Lyft? Not for the rules on this page. One Florida statute, Fla. Stat. § 627.748, governs both, so the coverage tiers and the liability rules described here are the same for Uber, Lyft, and any other transportation network company operating in the state. The filing deadline is the same for both as well, but it comes from Florida’s negligence statute of limitations rather than from the rideshare statute. What can differ from case to case is the actual policy, the insurer, and the facts.

Florida’s rideshare statute creates two insurance tiers for a driver who is working, and a third situation, the app being off, where the statute’s requirements do not apply at all. Which of them governs your crash is decided by what the driver was doing on the app at that moment. Fla. Stat. § 627.748 sets the requirements, and the table below is the practical version of it.
The boundary that surprises people most is when the $1 million tier begins. Florida defines a prearranged ride as starting the moment the driver accepts the ride request, continuing while the driver transports the rider, and ending when the last rider gets out. A driver who accepted your request and is three minutes away from your pickup is already in the highest coverage tier, even though nobody is in the back seat yet.
| What the driver’s app was doing | Which statutory situation applies | Minimum coverage under Sec. 627.748 |
|---|---|---|
| App off, driving for personal reasons | Fla. Stat. § 627.748’s rideshare insurance requirements do not apply to this period at all, so the coverage has to be identified the way it would be in any ordinary crash | The driver’s own policy, which in Florida is often minimal, plus any other source that applies, which is where your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage can matter a great deal |
| Logged on, waiting for a ride request | Coverage that may be provided by the driver’s policy, the company’s policy, or a combination of the two | At least $50,000 per person and $100,000 per incident for death and bodily injury, plus $25,000 property damage, plus PIP at standard Florida levels and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage |
| Ride accepted, driving to the pickup | The prearranged-ride tier, because a prearranged ride legally begins at acceptance | At least $1 million for death, bodily injury, and property damage, plus uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. The statute requires no PIP for this tier |
| Passenger in the car, through drop-off | The prearranged-ride tier, which ends only when the last rider exits the vehicle | At least $1 million for death, bodily injury, and property damage, plus uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. The statute requires no PIP while a passenger is aboard, which is why the PIP available to you personally matters |
One point about the figures above: the statute sets minimums, not ceilings. A policy written to satisfy Sec. 627.748 can carry more than the required amount, so the tier tells you the floor for that period rather than the total money available. Two other provisions in the same statute do real work for injured people and are worth knowing about. If the driver’s required coverage has lapsed or falls short, the company’s insurance must respond from the first dollar of the claim and has the duty to defend it. And the company’s coverage cannot be made to wait on the driver’s personal insurer denying the claim first, because the statute says that coverage must not be dependent on a personal insurer’s denial. That matters because a denial from the driver’s own carrier is close to standard in these cases, for reasons the statute itself explains.
Why The Driver’s Own Insurance Usually Denies The Claim
A rideshare driver’s personal auto policy very often denies coverage for a crash that happened while the driver was working, and Florida law expressly permits that denial. Sec. 627.748(8)(b) allows a personal auto insurer to exclude any and all coverage under a policy issued to the owner or operator of a rideshare vehicle, for a loss that happens while that vehicle is being driven and the driver is logged on to the network or providing a prearranged ride, and the statute lists what can be excluded: liability, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, medical payments coverage, comprehensive, collision, and personal injury protection.
In practice that means the denial is often the expected outcome rather than a mistake, because the practical effect of the statute is to move rideshare crashes onto rideshare-specific coverage. That does not mean a denial should be accepted without reading it. Whether the exclusion was actually written into that policy, and whether the app status the carrier relied on is correct, are both worth checking. What it does mean is that the larger question is usually which statutory tier applies, because that is where the substantial coverage sits.
How You Find Out The Car That Hit You Was A Rideshare
If a rideshare driver hit you, you may never learn it at the scene, because the exchange of information often does not reveal it. What gets handed to you and the investigating officer is almost always the driver’s personal auto policy card. The statute actually requires a rideshare driver to carry proof of the rideshare coverage and to provide it after an accident, but in my cases that is not what makes it into the exchange of information. So the report and your own notes end up describing an ordinary driver with an ordinary policy, and the separate coverage the rideshare statute requires never comes up.
In my cases the rideshare fact usually surfaces one of two ways. The first is the client mentioning a detail that gives it away, most often that there was a passenger in the back seat. The second is stranger, and more common than people expect: we learn it from the at-fault driver’s own insurance company, because the personal carrier denies the claim on the ground that the driver was working at the time. The denial that closes one door is what tells us another one exists. Once we know, we notify the rideshare company’s insurer and work out which policy or combination of policies has to answer, because the statute lets the required coverage be carried by the driver, the vehicle owner, the company, or some combination of them.
This is a problem only for people hit by a rideshare driver. If you were the passenger, or you were the rideshare driver yourself, you knew what you were in from the first minute.
There is also something you can do about it, and the statute is on your side. Under Sec. 627.748(7)(h), a rideshare driver has to disclose, on request, whether he or she was logged on to the network or engaged in a prearranged ride at the time of the crash. Nothing about that request has to happen at the scene. It can be made after the fact by you or by your designated representative, which in practice means your lawyer, so learning about it weeks later does not cost you the answer. Asking can be the difference between a claim measured against the driver’s personal policy and the same claim measured against the coverage floor the rideshare statute sets.

Any person injured by a rideshare driver’s negligence can pursue a claim, and the coverage tier that applies is set by the driver’s app status rather than by who the injured person is. What changes from claimant to claimant is where the claim points first and which coverages are in play.
| If you were | Where your claim generally points | What tends to matter most |
|---|---|---|
| A passenger in the Uber or Lyft | Any PIP available to you for initial medical benefits, from your own policy or a resident relative’s, then any medical payments coverage, or MedPay, the rideshare policy happens to carry, then the liability coverage of whoever caused the crash, which may be your driver or another motorist | A passenger is rarely responsible for causing the crash, so the dispute is usually about coverage and injury value rather than blame |
| A driver or passenger in another vehicle | Any PIP available to you first, then the applicable rideshare-tier liability coverage if the rideshare driver caused the crash | First learning that the other driver was working at all, since you were probably handed a personal policy card, then establishing app status, because it decides which of the two statutory tiers applies or whether the statute’s requirements do not apply at all |
| A pedestrian or bicyclist struck by a rideshare driver | Any PIP that reaches you, which has to be identified policy by policy, then the applicable rideshare-tier liability coverage. The same app-status tiers set the minimum liability coverage required for that period, so a pedestrian struck by a driver on an accepted ride is looking at the $1 million requirement rather than at whatever coverage an app-off crash happens to turn up | Establishing app status, then the severity of injury, which in these cases is often serious. If the app was off, it is worth checking your own uninsured motorist coverage as well. See our pedestrian accident and bicycle accident pages |
| The Uber or Lyft driver | The at-fault motorist’s liability coverage, plus the uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage both rideshare tiers require. Do not assume your own PIP is available, because Florida lets your personal insurer exclude it for a loss that happens while you are driving your rideshare vehicle and logged on | Whether your personal policy excluded coverage because you were working, and what medical coverage is actually available to you, since the prearranged-ride tier carries no required PIP |
How A Passenger’s Medical Bills Actually Get Paid
For an injured rideshare passenger, more than one source of medical benefits is usually available, and in my experience most passengers never claim all of them. In the cases I handle, personal injury protection is where it starts, when the injured person has PIP available to them. Under Fla. Stat. § 627.736, PIP provides up to $10,000 in medical and disability benefits, pays 80 percent of reasonable and medically necessary expenses, and requires that you get initial care within 14 days of the crash.
Where that PIP comes from matters, and it is broader than people assume. Florida PIP follows people as well as vehicles: a policy generally covers its named insured and relatives living in that household, unless a relative has been validly excluded, so a passenger who owns no car may still have PIP through a resident relative’s policy. That is a different question from whether the rideshare vehicle itself carries PIP, which during a prearranged ride the statute does not require at all. The rideshare policy is where the next layer comes from, and here Florida’s statute has a gap worth understanding. The statute requires the prearranged-ride policy to carry personal injury protection benefits at the level “required of a limousine,” but Fla. Stat. § 627.733 exempts limousines from Florida’s PIP requirement altogether. The result is that there is no statutory PIP floor for the period when a passenger is actually in the car. What I have seen in these cases instead is medical payments coverage, or MedPay, on the rideshare policy, typically $5,000, and it added to what PIP paid rather than replacing it. Because the rideshare statute does not require that benefit, its existence and amount have to be confirmed on the actual policy rather than assumed.
So a passenger with PIP available to them, whether through their own policy or a resident relative’s, is generally looking at up to $10,000 in PIP benefits, subject to that policy’s terms, and then any MedPay benefit the rideshare policy happens to carry on top of it. A passenger with no PIP available from any household policy has to look to any MedPay coverage the rideshare policy actually carries, to health insurance, and to the liability claim itself. In every version of this, these medical benefits are separate from and in addition to a liability claim for the full value of the injury, which is where serious cases are actually resolved. For the general rules, see our page on Florida PIP coverage.
Can You Sue Uber Or Lyft Directly In Florida?
Holding Uber or Lyft itself responsible for a driver’s crash in Florida means getting past a conditional statutory shield, and the insurance the statute requires is preserved either way. Fla. Stat. § 627.748(18) provides that a rideshare company is not liable by reason of owning, operating, or maintaining its digital network, or by being the company affiliated with the driver, for harm arising out of the use of a rideshare vehicle while the driver is logged on. That is a shield against being held responsible for the driver’s conduct through the company’s role in the network, which is the theory these claims would otherwise run on. That shield is conditional, not absolute. It applies only where three things are true: the company itself was not negligent under the statute and committed no criminal wrongdoing, the company met all of its statutory obligations regarding the driver, and the company is not the owner or bailee of the vehicle involved.
Those three conditions are also the limits of the shield, and the third one is the most practically relevant. Where a company owns the vehicle, or has custody of it as a bailee rather than merely connecting a driver who owns it, the analysis is different. Because the shield is written around the company’s role as the network operator and the driver’s affiliation with it, a theory that the company itself broke its statutory obligations is a different question from the driver’s negligence, and it has to be proven on its own terms rather than assumed.
Here is the part that matters more than the shield itself. The same subsection states expressly that it does not alter or reduce the coverage or policy limits required by the insurance provisions of the statute. The coverage required for the applicable tier does not disappear because that route to the company is closed, and during a prearranged ride that requirement is at least $1 million. It is reached through the insurance the statute requires, which is why establishing the correct coverage tier is usually where the work pays off rather than a theory aimed at the corporation. Separately, the statute confirms that a rideshare company and its drivers are not common carriers, so arguments built on a heightened common-carrier duty do not apply in Florida.
The Fight Over Which Coverage Tier Applies
In most of my rideshare cases, nobody hands me the app data. What happens is that the insurer evaluates the crash, assigns it to one of the statute’s coverage periods, and that assignment is how I learn which tier the company says applies. When the assignment matches the facts, the case proceeds under the correct coverage tier. When it does not, correcting it is the first real dispute in the case, because a claim assigned to the wrong tier is a claim measured against the wrong floor of coverage.
When the assignment looks wrong, such as an app-off call on what the client describes as an active ride, or a waiting-period call on a trip that had already been accepted, I request the underlying trip and app data. Rideshare companies generally will not produce that data before a lawsuit is filed. That is a practical reality worth being honest about: sometimes filing suit is what unlocks the record that determines which statutory coverage tier applies.
There is also a disclosure duty in the statute that gets overlooked. Sec. 627.748(7)(h) requires a rideshare driver, upon request, to disclose to any party directly involved in the accident or that party’s designated representative, to automobile insurers, and to investigating police officers whether he or she was logged on to the network or engaged in a prearranged ride at the time of the crash. The driver also has to provide insurance coverage information in the event of an accident. That means app status is not purely the company’s private information, and asking the right question early, in the right form, can matter later.
Florida rideshare coverage requirements by app status under Fla. Stat. § 627.748. The prearranged-ride tier begins when the driver accepts the request and ends when the last rider exits. This is general information, not legal advice, and the coverage that applies to your crash depends on its facts.
What A Contested Rideshare Case Actually Looks Like
A rideshare claim can turn less on the crash itself than on whether the driver’s account of it survives the records, and one of my cases is a good illustration. I am describing it generally because the settlement is confidential, but the shape of it is worth more than another summary of the law.
My client was a passenger, and only the rideshare vehicle was involved in the crash. That combination usually makes a case straightforward, because there is no other motorist to blame. This one was not straightforward. The car the driver was operating was not the car registered to his rideshare account. He denied that the crash had happened at all. And he denied stopping at an ATM afterward to hand my client cash.
Records answered the question that mattered most, and getting them took a fight. The defense objected to my subpoena for the driver’s bank activity. I moved to overrule the objection, argued it at a hearing, and the court ordered the bank to produce records of withdrawals and ATM transactions for a narrow window around the crash, with the documents going to the court for in-camera review so that nothing unrelated was exposed. The records showed the ATM transaction. That denial did not survive them.
There was also a threat hanging over the case the whole time. The defense pressed the position that the mismatch between the car being driven and the car on the account could defeat the rideshare coverage. That question never got answered, because the case resolved before anyone had to decide it. My own view is that the coverage should have applied, because the ride was arranged through the platform, and because Florida defines a rideshare vehicle by how it is used and whether the driver is authorized to use it rather than by what is listed in the app. Whether a particular policy responds is also a matter of that policy’s language, so I am not going to tell you the argument was frivolous. I will tell you that an unresolved coverage argument carries weight with the other side whether or not it would ultimately have won, and that is worth understanding before you evaluate an offer.
Two things worth taking from it. If a rideshare driver offers you cash at the scene, treat it as a signal rather than a favor. Report the crash, get it documented, and write down that the offer was made, because in my case the offer itself became part of the credibility fight. And when the driver’s account is what stands between you and being believed, what settled that question here was the paper trail nobody could revise after the fact.
Your Deadline And How Fault Affects What You Recover
For most Florida rideshare crashes on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a negligence lawsuit, under Fla. Stat. § 95.11. Crashes before that date are governed by the prior four-year period, and a claim for a death has its own two-year deadline. Because app-status and coverage-tier disputes can take time to resolve, and because the app data often only becomes available in litigation, waiting until late in the two years narrows your options considerably.
Florida also follows modified comparative negligence. Under Fla. Stat. § 768.81, a party found more than 50 percent at fault for their own harm recovers nothing. At exactly 50 percent or less, you still recover, reduced by your percentage of fault, so a $100,000 verdict with 20 percent fault attributed to you becomes $80,000. For a rideshare passenger this rarely matters, because a passenger is almost never responsible for the crash. It matters much more for a rideshare driver or another motorist, where the insurer has an incentive to push fault onto the injured person. For the Florida rules that apply to any crash, rideshare or not, see our Miami car accident page.
One more rule limits when a rideshare claim can recover damages for pain and suffering. Under Fla. Stat. § 627.737, those damages require an injury involving significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or death. The threshold applies in a tort action against the owner, registrant, operator, or occupant of a motor vehicle for which the required security is in place, or against someone legally responsible for their acts, and it gates those non-economic damages only. Economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages beyond what PIP paid do not require crossing it, a distinction that gets stated incorrectly often enough to be worth spelling out. It is also usually too early to know where an injury will land in the first days after a crash, because that answer develops with treatment and imaging rather than at the scene, so an uncertain diagnosis is not a reason to write off a claim.
Lyft Accidents Follow The Same Florida Rules
Florida regulates Uber and Lyft as transportation network companies under one statute, Fla. Stat. § 627.748, so every rule described above applies to a Lyft crash exactly as it applies to an Uber crash. The coverage tiers, the $1 million prearranged-ride requirement, the beginning-at-acceptance boundary, the personal-policy exclusions, and the conditional statutory shield that keeps a driver’s conduct from being attributed to the company are identical. If you were hurt in a Lyft, the questions I ask are the same ones: what the app was doing, which tier the insurer assigned, and whether that assignment holds up.
Taxis are the exception. A taxicab is not a transportation network company, and Florida regulates taxi insurance under a different scheme, which is why those claims work differently. If your crash involved a cab rather than a rideshare, see our Miami taxi accident page. And if what happened during the ride was a sexual assault rather than a crash, that is a different kind of case, which we handle through our sexual assault victim practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Uber driver said the app was off. Can I do anything about that?
Yes. App status determines which coverage applies, so a wrong answer changes the pool of coverage your claim is measured against. Fla. Stat. § 627.748(7)(h) requires the driver, on request, to disclose to any party directly involved in the accident or their designated representative whether he or she was logged on or engaged in a prearranged ride at the time. If the insurer’s coverage assignment conflicts with what you experienced, the underlying trip data can be requested, though rideshare companies generally do not produce it before a lawsuit is filed.
How do I know if the driver who hit me was working for Uber or Lyft?
Often you do not know at first, because the driver hands over a personal auto policy card at the scene. Two things usually reveal it. One is a detail you noticed, most commonly a passenger in the back seat. The other is the driver’s own insurer denying the claim because he was working at the time, which is how I have learned it in a number of cases. You can also ask directly: Fla. Stat. § 627.748(7)(h) requires the driver to disclose, on request, whether he was logged on to the network or on a prearranged ride when the crash happened. If any of this describes your crash, it is worth having someone check, because identifying rideshare activity can change which coverage floor applies to your claim.
I was hit by an Uber driver who had not picked anyone up yet. What coverage applies?
It depends on whether the driver had accepted a ride request. If the driver was logged on and still waiting for a request, the statute requires at least $50,000 per person and $100,000 per incident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 in property damage coverage. If the driver had already accepted a request and was driving to the pickup, that is legally a prearranged ride and the $1 million tier applies even though no passenger was in the car.
Can multiple injured passengers all claim against the required $1 million coverage?
The statute requires at least $1 million for death, bodily injury, and property damage during a prearranged ride, and it does not say that figure resets for each injured person. How the available coverage actually gets allocated among several claimants depends on the policy that was written to satisfy the requirement, so it has to be read rather than assumed. When several people are seriously hurt in one rideshare crash, that allocation question can matter a great deal, which is a reason to have your claim documented early rather than late.
I am an Uber driver and I was hurt. Does my own insurance cover me?
Often not, because Florida expressly permits your personal auto insurer to exclude all coverage for a loss that happens while you are driving your rideshare vehicle and logged on to the network or on a prearranged ride, including liability, uninsured motorist, medical payments, and PIP. Do not assume your own PIP is there. That is why the rideshare-tier coverage matters for drivers too. Both statutory tiers require uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage under Sec. 627.727, and whether it reaches your situation has to be determined from the policy itself, which our uninsured motorist page covers in detail. The waiting-period tier is also the one that carries a required PIP benefit.
Do I have to prove Uber or Lyft did something wrong?
No. The claim is normally about the negligence of whoever caused the crash, and the compensation comes from the insurance the statute requires rather than from the company itself. Fla. Stat. § 627.748(18) shields a rideshare company from liability based on its role as the network operator where three statutory conditions are met, and that shield expressly does not reduce the insurance requirements or limits. So the absence of a claim against the company does not mean the absence of coverage.
What if I do not have my own car insurance?
You may still have PIP. Florida PIP generally extends to relatives living in the same household, unless a relative has been validly excluded, so a policy in a parent’s or spouse’s name can cover you even though you own no car. If no household policy reaches you, then any medical payments coverage, or MedPay, the rideshare policy carries, along with your health insurance, becomes the starting point for treatment, and the liability claim for the full value of your injuries is separate from both. This is also the situation where getting seen matters most, and it is something I help with directly. I can give you treatment options wherever you are located and you choose which provider you want to see. Call before the bills start stacking up. How medical bills get submitted and coordinated among PIP, MedPay, and health insurance depends on the policies involved, and it affects what you are left owing at the end.
How long do I have to bring a rideshare claim in Florida?
For crashes on or after March 24, 2023, generally two years from the date of the crash under Fla. Stat. § 95.11, with the older four-year period applying to crashes before that date and a separate two-year deadline for a death claim. Because coverage-tier disputes and app data often take time to resolve, the practical deadline for starting the work is much earlier than the filing deadline.
I was visiting Miami when the crash happened and I have gone home. Can I still bring a claim?
Yes. Going home does not end your claim. A crash that happened here is handled here in my cases, which is why you will want a Florida lawyer, but most of the work does not require you to be present. In my cases depositions are almost always handled by video, and the situations that can require travel are a compulsory medical examination or a trial, which only a small share of cases reach. Sometimes, depending on the judge, the examination can be done in the state where you live, though that is not guaranteed.
What does it cost to hire you for a rideshare case?
My office handles Uber and Lyft crash cases on a contingency fee, which means no fee unless we recover money for you, and the consultation is free. That lets the coverage-tier work start immediately rather than waiting until you can afford to look into it.
Talk To A Miami Uber And Lyft Accident Lawyer
If you were hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash, an insurance company has probably already decided which coverage tier applies to you, without asking you what happened. When you call, that is where I start: checking whether the crash was assigned to the right coverage tier and challenging the assignment if it does not match the facts, putting the insurers on notice and demanding that the evidence be preserved, and handling their calls so you are not negotiating while you are still treating. If you still need to get seen by a doctor, I can give you options wherever you are located and you choose who you want to see.
