What Makes Rideshare Accident Cases Unique?
Rideshare accident claims involve several unique challenges:
- Multiple insurance policies may apply depending on the driver’s activity at the time.
- Uber and Lyft classify drivers as independent contractors, not employees.
- Florida law requires specific minimum insurance coverage for rideshare drivers when logged into the app.
- Determining fault and applicable insurance coverage often requires quick, strategic legal action.
We know how to navigate the complexities of rideshare insurance claims — and we move fast to protect your rights.
Understanding Uber and Lyft Insurance Coverage
The insurance coverage available in a rideshare accident depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash:
| Driver Status | Available Insurance Coverage |
| App off (not available for rides) | Driver’s personal insurance applies |
| App on, waiting for ride request | Limited coverage: $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident for bodily injury, $25,000 for property damage |
| En route to pick up passenger or carrying passenger | $1 million liability coverage and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage |
We fully investigate each case to determine all available sources of compensation.

FAQs – Miami Rideshare Accident Cases
If the driver was not logged into the Uber or Lyft app, only their personal auto insurance may apply.
Generally, rideshare companies are not directly liable because drivers are independent contractors. However, their insurance coverage often provides substantial benefits.
