Taxi, Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers:
Taxi accident claims are common in Tampa, and have seen an increase due to new rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft. Our team of Tampa Taxi, Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers have decades of experience handling all types of claims against taxi services and more recently, claims arising from Uber and Lyft accidents. We are ready to work aggressively on your behalf if you’ve been injured.
Many automobile insurance policies may not offer protection for these types of accidents. While the State of Florida requires every driver to carry some form of personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, it is not always adequate or present – particularly in Uber and Lyft cases.
Florida law has excluded taxi services from the state’s no fault insurance law, therefore, anyone is able to file a claim based on physical damages or injuries sustained without proving whether or not the victim has been permanently injured or disabled as a result of the accident.
Were You a Passenger in an Uber or Lyft Accident? Here’s what you need to know:
If you are a passenger in an Uber or Lyft and are involved in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Since Florida is a “no-fault” state, you do not have to prove that the Uber or Lyft driver was being negligent to qualify for your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits which covers up to $10,000 in medical bills and disability benefits.
Once you have exhausted your PIP benefits, and there are no other alternative insurance coverages available, such as the Uber or Lyft driver’s personal auto liability insurance, you can then pursue a bodily injury (BI) claim against Uber or Lyft.
Both Uber and Lyft carry a $1,000,000 insurance policy that covers anyone that is:
- A motorist or passenger injured in an accident where a ridesharing driver is at fault.
- An injured passenger in a ridesharing vehicle, regardless of who is at fault.
- A ridesharing driver injured in an accident where the other driver is at fault.
Uber and Lyft also carry a $1,000,000 Uninsured Motorist policy for passengers injured in an accident involving someone who is uninsured or does not carry bodily injury (BI) liability coverage on their policy.
