Damages You May Recover After a Lyft Accident in Miami

In legal terms, damages are what injury victims receive to make them “whole” again. Damages usually come in the form of money, although we know that no amount of money can eliminate the effects of severe bodily injuries from a serious motor vehicle accident.

While money cannot undo your suffering, it is worth seeking a compensation settlement or judgment because the damages you receive can help you reshape your future. In Florida, the economic and non-economic damages injured parties can seek after an accident involving a rideshare driver include:

• Medical care from the date of the accident, throughout your recovery, and estimated future medical expenses, including surgeries, hospital stays, treatment, rehab, therapy, prescriptions, at-home care, transportation for medical care, and more
• Out-of-pocket expenses such as co-pays, deductibles, childcare, and help with home maintenance or errands
• Income lost during recovery and lost future earnings if you cannot return to work
• Property damaged during the accident
• Pain and suffering associated with your injuries
• Mental anguish and emotional distress
• Loss of or change in your quality and enjoyment of life
• Loss of or change in your personal relationships

Your Lyft accident lawyer in Miami, FL can help you understand what losses you may seek damages for as you pursue your insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. We can also help you determine whose auto insurance policy is liable for your damages.

The Statute of Limitations for Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit After a Lyft Accident in Miami

Personal injury law has many requirements that you must meet when seeking financial compensation. Our personal injury law firm will manage deadlines for you and keep your case on track, but you must be aware of the deadline for filing a civil lawsuit.

Florida gives you two years from the date of your accident to begin legal action, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a). If you miss that two-year deadline, the court may bar you from seeking compensation. Some exceptions to this timeline exist, which your Miami rideshare accident lawyer will address if they apply to your case.

Determining Negligence and Compensation After a Miami Lyft Accident

Per Florida Statutes § 768.81, Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule to determine who may receive compensation after a Lyft accident and how much of their settlement or award they may claim.

Compensation claims and lawsuits are based on who was at fault for an accident. If one person was solely at fault, the others involved in the accident who were injured can receive 100% of their compensation settlement or award. 

If another person contributed to the accident and is more than 50% at fault, they cannot receive any compensation. However, if they are 50% or less at fault, they may receive a portion of their settlement or award. Their awarded amount will depend on their percentage of fault.
