Who Takes Responsibility for an Uber/Lyft Accident in Florida?

Liability for ridesharing accidents in Florida hinges on two questions: a) Was the Lyft or Uber driver logged into the ridesharing app, and b) Was the driver transporting a passenger, driving to pick up a passenger, or simply available through the app at the time of the accident?

• If the Lyft or Uber driver was off the ridesharing app, the ridesharing company takes no responsibility for the accident and the victim may only count on their own and the at-fault driver’s insurance policy.
• If the Uber/Lyft app was on, but the rideshare driver was not on active duty when the accident occurred, both the driver’s insurance policy and the ridesharing company’s coverage might compensate accident victims.
• If the Uber/Lyft driver was on the way to pick up, or driving, a passenger, the ridesharing company should provide compensation to the victim through its commercial insurance policy.

What Do You Do After an Uber/Lyft Accident?

If you're involved in a ridesharing accident, you should:

• Seek urgent medical care. If necessary, go to the ER or visit a physician for a checkup. Save every medical record.
• Take photos and videos of the accident scene from multiple angles, and write down every detail you can remember about the accident.
• Report the accident to the police and ask for a copy of the police report.
• Call our Uber/Lyft accident attorney for a case evaluation. Note that we are not affiliated with Uber or Lyft - we represent you. Avoid making official statements to insurance companies or entering into any agreements before you speak to a lawyer.
