Cases We Handle

Uber and Lyft Accidents

If you were injured as a passenger, driver, or another motorist in an Uber or Lyft accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Rideshare cases often involve negotiating with both the driver’s personal insurance and the rideshare company’s policy. We’ll handle these complexities to get you the compensation you deserve.

Hit-and-Run Rideshare Incidents

If your rideshare driver was involved in a hit-and-run, or if you were the victim, our team will work to identify the responsible party and explore uninsured motorist claims to recover damages.

Accidents Caused by Rideshare Drivers

When rideshare drivers are at fault, it’s essential to have a lawyer familiar with the intricacies of Florida’s personal injury laws. We’ll fight for justice and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Why You Need a Florida Uber/Lyft Accident Lawyer

Florida’s rideshare laws introduce unique complexities when it comes to accident cases, making it essential to have an experienced Uber/Lyft accident lawyer on your side. Unlike standard car accidents, rideshare accidents often involve multiple layers of insurance coverage and legal requirements that can be challenging to navigate on your own. Uber and Lyft provide liability coverage for their drivers, but the level of coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:
  1. Driver Logged Out of the App: If the driver is not logged into the Uber or Lyft app, the rideshare company’s insurance policy does not apply. Instead, the driver’s personal auto insurance will be responsible for covering damages.
  2. Driver Logged Into the App (No Passenger): If the driver is logged into the app and waiting for a ride request, limited coverage from the rideshare company applies. This includes liability coverage for injuries and property damage, but it may not be enough to fully compensate you.
  3. Driver Transporting a Passenger: When a rideshare driver is actively transporting a passenger or heading to pick one up, the rideshare company provides the highest level of insurance coverage. This includes $1 million in liability coverage, as well as additional uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Understanding which insurance policies apply and how to file a claim can be confusing. Insurance companies may also try to minimize your payout or deny your claim altogether. That’s where our team of experienced Florida Uber accident lawyers comes in. We’ll investigate every detail of your case, including the driver’s status, app activity, and accident circumstances, to determine liability and activate the appropriate insurance coverage. From negotiating with insurance companies to representing you in court if necessary, we’ll handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on your recovery. Whether you were a passenger, another motorist, or a pedestrian involved in an Uber/Lyft accident, we are committed to securing the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Let us fight for your rights and guide you through the legal process with confidence.

Steps to Take After a Rideshare Accident

  1. Call 911: Report the accident and seek medical attention, even if injuries aren’t immediately apparent.
  2. Document Everything: Take photos, gather contact information from all parties involved, and obtain witness statements.
  3. Avoid Speaking to Insurance Adjusters: Anything you say to an adjuster can be used to lower your compensation. Let your lawyer handle communications.
  4. Contact Casas Law: The sooner you contact us, the faster we can begin building your case.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

As your rideshare accident lawyer in West Palm Beach, we’ll pursue compensation for:
  • Medical Bills: Covering emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing treatments.
  • Lost Wages: Reimbursement for missed work and reduced earning capacity.

  • Property Damage: Repair or replacement costs for your vehicle or personal property.
  • Wrongful Death: Support for families who have lost a loved one in a rideshare accident.

No duden en confiar en ellos, ha sido la mejor elección que he podido hacer.
