Liability or fault is a serious and complicated question in rideshare accidents. The complications arise because there are so many parties involved that could become partially liable. It all depends on the exact cause of the crash.
At Mariel Tollinchi Injury Lawyers, we have the experience and resources needed to carefully investigate rideshare accidents in Miami and the surrounding area. We can take a claim against any defendant, no matter their involvement or the size of the insurance company that might defend them.
We can represent any injured party after an Uber or Lyft accident, such as:
As a rideshare driver working for Uber or Lyft, your job puts you on public streets, which means you could be at risk of encountering an unsafe, negligent, or reckless driver. If you were hit by another driver while completing a rideshare fare in Miami, then we want to hear from you, so we can see what damages could be owed to you and how to get them.
Were you hit by someone who was acting as a driver for Uber or Lyft and had the app open? You might be able to file a claim against their individually purchased auto insurance policy and the policy provided by the rideshare company. This multipolicy process can be confusing, so we highly advise that you only proceed with our help.
Injured rideshare passengers can struggle to understand their options after being in a crash. What are you supposed to do as someone who wasn't driving and had paid for the rideshare service? Get the answers you need by leaving everything in the hands of our capable legal team.
Uber and Lyft both carry large insurance policies that cover rideshare drivers, their passengers, and any other third parties involved in the crash—but only in certain situations. The coverage does not always apply to a rideshare accident. Also, when it does apply, it can vary noticeably based on the details of the crash, how it was caused, and exactly when it happened.
Insurance for rideshare drivers using Uber will depend on app usage, such as:
When the Uber driver is offline or has the app turned off, Uber does not claim any responsibility for them and provides no insurance coverage. If the driver is in an accident, then a typical auto accident claim using their privately held auto insurance would follow.
When the Uber driver is online and waiting for a ride request, Uber can provide 50/100/25 third-party liability insurance coverage. However, this coverage is only available if the driver's privately held auto insurance policy doesn't apply. It can also apply if the other insurance policy caps out before all damages are covered, but not always.
When the Uber driver is active and en route to pick up a rider or already has one in their car, Uber can offer the most coverage for the driver, passenger, and third parties if a crash occurs. This large insurance policy includes $1,000,000 third-party liability insurance, uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) bodily injury and/or first-party injury insurance, and contingent comprehensive and collision coverage, up to the actual cash value of the car with a $2,500 deductible.
The Lyft insurance policy is strikingly similar to the one carried by Uber. The differences are slight enough that they likely would make no impact on your claim. Of course, we would let you know if something about the Lyft insurance policy is important.

I got hit by a distracted driver on the Palmetto and honestly had no idea what to do next. The insurance company was already calling me trying to get me to settle for barely anything.
