Rideshare Accident Attorney in Gainesville

In today's world, rideshare companies have revolutionized the way we travel. The most popular rideshare companies today are:

• Uber
• Lyft
• Via
• Wingz

Each of these companies has its own set of rules and insurance policies, which can complicate matters when accidents occur.

As mentioned, rideshare accident cases come with their own unique set of challenges. Unlike typical car accidents, where you file a claim with your own insurance provider per Florida’s PIP insurance laws, these cases often involve multiple parties, including the rideshare driver, the company, and other drivers.

As a result, determining liability can be tricky due to varying insurance policies and the different statuses of the driver at the time of the accident (e.g., en route to pick up a passenger, carrying a passenger, or off-duty). Navigating these complexities requires a deep understanding of both legal and insurance landscapes and that’s where our team of experienced rideshare accident drivers come in.

The rideshare company itself may be held liable for an accident under various circumstances. For example, they may be held liable if:

• if the driver was actively transporting a passenger;
• the driver was on the way to pick up a passenger when the accident occurred; or
• the rideshare company was negligent in hiring or retaining a driver with a poor driving record.
