Florida Rideshare
Accident Attorney

Rideshare accidents are more complicated than typical car crashes. When Uber or Lyft is involved, multiple insurance policies may apply — and both the driver and the company’s insurers will work quickly to limit their liability.

You shouldn’t have to untangle corporate insurance policies while recovering from injuries.

At The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., we step in immediately, investigate thoroughly, and pursue the maximum compensation available under Florida law.

No upfront costs. No fees unless we win.

Why Rideshare Accident Cases Are Different

Rideshare accidents involve layered insurance coverage that depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash:

App off
App on, waiting for a ride request
En route to pick up a passenger
Passenger in the vehicle

Each scenario triggers different coverage limits — and insurance companies often dispute which policy applies.

These cases may involve:

The rideshare driver’s personal insurance
Uber or Lyft’s corporate liability policy
Another at-fault driver
Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage

Without experienced legal guidance, victims can easily accept far less than their case is worth.

We build cases strong enough that insurance companies take them seriously — or face us in court.

How Rideshare Accidents Happen in FL

App-Based Distraction

Rideshare drivers rely heavily on their phones for navigation, ride requests, messaging, and payment confirmations. Even a few seconds of divided attention can lead to serious collisions.

Constant Pickups & Drop-Offs

Sudden stops, double parking, and unexpected pull-overs to pick up or drop off passengers create dangerous traffic disruptions.

Driver Fatigue

Many rideshare drivers work long hours or drive late at night to maximize earnings, increasing the risk of slowed reaction times and poor judgment.

Surge & Time Pressure

When surge pricing is active, drivers may rush between rides to increase income, leading to speeding or unsafe maneuvers.

Who Can File a Rideshare Accident Claim?

You may have a claim if you were:

A passenger in an Uber or Lyft
A rideshare driver injured by another motorist
A pedestrian hit by a rideshare vehicle
A driver struck by a rideshare vehicle

No matter the scenario, our team investigates immediately to determine all available insurance coverage.
