Uber and Lyft Accident Attorneys

After an accident while riding as a passenger or driving for Uber or Lyft, who is liable for your personal injuries? This legal question is not always easy to answer and has even led to several lawsuits against ride sharing companies for misidentifying its drivers to save money. In Florida, ride share drivers are currently independent contractors. This means they technically work for themselves, not for Uber or Lyft. While this would typically safeguard ride share companies from liability for the actions and behaviors of their drivers, this is not necessarily the case with these new life changing technologies. Accident victims – including contracted ride sharing drivers – can seek recovery from Uber or Lyft’s insurance policy in certain legal situations if the criteria are met. Both companies maintain over one million dollars in insurance policies to pay for victims’ damages in the event of ride sharing accidents. This coverage will kick in to supplement the drivers’ primary insurance coverage if the driver is on-duty at the time of the collision. By comparison, most taxi and limousine services only carry around seven hundred and fifty thousand in liability insurance for their passengers. Injured parties might be able to hold Uber or Lyft liable if the driver caused the crash or the company contributed in some way to the accident. For example, if Uber failed to conduct a background check before hiring a driver with a history of driving without a license, who later crashes with passengers in the vehicle while driving without a valid license, victims could potentially bring personal injury claims against Uber for negligence. The company could also be liable for the actions of its drivers, as long as drivers are on-duty and working at the time of the collision.
