Determining Who is Liable for Your Losses From an Uber Accident in Miami

When an Uber driver is involved in an accident, pinpointing the insurance company responsible for losses can be complicated. If you sustained serious bodily injuries in an Uber accident, our Miami attorneys will help you determine who is at fault and which insurance company should be responsible for your compensation claim. For instance:

• If you were a passenger and your Uber driver caused an accident that injured you, Uber’s insurance would likely be responsible for your losses.
• If you were driving for a rideshare company and were involved in an accident caused by another driver, their personal insurance should cover your economic and non-economic damages.
• If you were a driver or passenger in another vehicle and an Uber vehicle struck you, Uber’s insurance should cover your losses.
• If an Uber driver was “offline” when they caused an accident, the Uber driver’s personal insurance policy may be responsible for your losses.
• If you have personal injury protection (PIP) insurance coverage, it should cover some of your medical bills, regardless of who is at fault for the crash.

The Uber driver’s status on the rideshare app, whether there are passengers in the Uber driver’s car, and a host of other factors all affect whose insurance will cover your losses. Your rideshare accident lawyer in Miami, FL will help you determine who is responsible for covering your personal injury claim.

Florida’s Negligence Rule for Uber Accidents

Uber accident victims, like all auto accident victims in Florida, should be aware of the state’s modified comparative negligence rule Florida Statutes § 768.81). This rule states that if you are more than 50% at fault for the accident, you may not recover a compensation settlement or judgment.

However, if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident, you may recover compensation in line with your percentage of fault. For instance, if you played no role in causing the crash, you may recover 100% of your compensation settlement or award. However, if you are 10% at fault, you may recover 90% of your deserved compensation, and so on.

The Deadline for Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit After an Uber Accident in Miami

Florida allows you to file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of your accident, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a). This is an important deadline to remember. If you do not file within two years, the court may bar you from pursuing a compensation judgment or verdict for your losses.
