Chalik and Chalik fights for our client against UBERWe were honored to represent our client in a prior case. When tragedy struck and she was killed in an automobile accident, her family reached out to us again. Our client was on the road and was driving for UBER. She did not have a passenger in her car, but the Uber App was on. She was struck by a drunk driver and lost her life. Our client’s Uninsured motorist insurance as well as the UM insurance for UBER, denied coverage. Chalik and Chalik filed suit. We fought UBER and Progressive and the claims have been resolved to the satisfaction of the family of our former client. We feel blessed that families trust us to represent their loved ones who have been lost through the fault of others.

You may feel like you are alone when navigating your Uber or Lyft accident. Insurance companies, as well as Uber or Lyft, may attempt to limit their liability.
When working with an Uber & Lyft accident lawyer at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, you can expect the following:
Complimentary Consultation
The rideshare industry is new, meaning the laws and policies are not always clear. A complimentary consultation gives us the opportunity to evaluate the details of your case. There is no obligation to you as we never collect any payment unless we also collect compensation on your behalf. Call today for your free legal consultation at 954-858-5751.
Identify Coverage
Identifying the requirements of insurance coverage can be overwhelming. Both Uber and Lyft have strict policies in determining insurance coverage depending on the driver’s status at the time of an accident. Additionally, other insurance policies may also attempt to limit coverage.
If an insurance provider has already denied you, we can evaluate your claim and file for an appeal. The complexity of the rideshare situation can lead to many complicated situations. Work with a legal team that is familiar with these laws.
Determine Fault
We will investigate the details of your case to determine who is at fault.
The following documents may be beneficial to your Uber & Lyft accident case:
- Police report
- Driver logs
- Witness statements
- Medical records
- Image of video evidence from the accident
Determine Damages
Car accidents can leave you with costly damages. Not only is there the damage to your vehicle to consider, but you may have lifelong medical costs to manage. Additionally, severe injuries can diminish your earning potential, sometimes even completely preventing you from returning to work.
It is important that we consider both the economic and non-economic damages when determining the value of your case. We will include the following costs:
- Medical costs (Current and anticipated)
- Property damage
- Rehabilitative costs
- Lost wages and benefits
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death
Represent You During This Difficult Time
Your recovery is the most important thing following an accident. By allowing us to manage the details of your Uber or Lyft accident case, you can focus on your recovery. We will keep you up to date on your case while also giving you the space and time you need to recover.

(954) 472-7122Stay Within Florida’s Statute Of Limitations
Florida requires that we file all car accident lawsuits within two years of the date of the accident. Rideshare accidents would fall under this same time limit. Keep in mind, however, that Lyft and Uber may have their own accident filing requirements.
Failing to meet these time requirements can deem you ineligible for the compensation that you deserve. It can take time to collect evidence and build your case, so it is important that you discuss yours with an Uber & Lyft accident lawyer in Plantation, FL, as soon as possible.
