Ridesharing Accident Attorney Tampa

There has been an increase in Florida's Uber and Lyft accidents in recent years. Millions of visitors coming to the sunshine state choose ridesharing to get around. Whether you are an injured motorist or a ride-sharing vehicle passenger, determining liability in an Uber and Lyft accident can be difficult.

You should seek the assistance of our qualified personal injury attorneys to determine liability and seek compensation. The experienced Tampa ridesharing accident attorneys at Carlson Meissner & Hayslett are fully prepared to take on large ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft and their insurance providers to maximize your financial damages and help you obtain the justice you deserve.

Insurance Coverage for Ridesharing Accidents in Florida

Accidents happen regardless of how safe the ridesharing company tries to make it. The good news is that Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies have insurance coverage for their drivers. And the insurance comes into force whether or not the rideshare driver accepts a passenger request.

If you get injured because of the negligence of an Uber driver, the insurance claim will be different. This depends on whether you were injured as:

A passenger in the cab
Another driver
Pedestrian
Cyclist
Road user

The rideshare company’s insurance policy will cover your injuries if you travel as a passenger, whether the rideshare driver is responsible.

If your injuries are not covered under Uber’s insurance policy, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) will cover your damages. However, this is a tricky and confusing claim. You will need a skilled Florida car accident attorney to prepare a strong claim and get you the compensation you deserve.

Legal Steps You Should Take After an Uber/Lyft Accident in Florida

After you have received emergency medical treatment, you should call our ridesharing accident lawyers at Carlson Meissner & Hayslett as soon as possible. We will help ensure you are getting the best medical care. We will immediately get to work to obtain physical, photographic, and forensic evidence to build a strong claim for damages. At the accident site, be prepared to give only factual statements to the police.

When the insurance adjusters call you, you should only sign documents or provide recorded statements if our attorneys are present by your side. Our attorney will review your accident and injuries and help you file a claim against the liable parties, such as:

Rideshare driver
Insurance company of the driver
Rideshare company’s insurer

Speaking with our attorneys quickly is necessary because you will need evidence to prove fault. Rideshare cabs usually have electronic records and GPS data, which can provide critical information to establish liability. Our skilled attorneys at Carlson Meissner & Hayslett will also obtain dashcam footage and other evidence wherever necessary to prove fault.
