Uber & Lyft Accident
Injured in an Uber or Lyft? Rideshare Accidents Are Complex.
Rideshare apps have made getting around Tampa Bay, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, and Pinellas County easier, but accidents involving an Uber or Lyft create a complicated legal nightmare. Whether you were a passenger in the rideshare or a driver hit by one, you are suddenly dealing with multiple insurance policies, massive corporate legal teams, and confusing liability laws.
At Ghaly Injury Law, our experienced Uber & Lyft accident lawyer understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll a rideshare accident takes. We untangle the complex web of Uber and Lyft insurance tiers, taking on the fight so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
How Ghaly Injury Law Builds Your
Rideshare Accident Case
Determining Exact App Status
Florida liability completely depends on what the driver was doing at the exact moment of the crash. We secure app data, timestamps, and GPS records to prove if the driver was waiting for a request, en route, or actively transporting a passenger.
Fighting Corporate Insurers
Rideshare companies often classify their drivers as independent contractors to avoid paying claims, while personal insurance companies try to deny coverage because the driver was working. We aggressively counter these tactics to force the right policy to pay.
Maximizing the $1 Million Policy
If a driver was actively on a ride, Uber and Lyft carry a $1 million liability policy. We negotiate tirelessly to maximize your payout and are fully prepared to take the rideshare giants to court if they refuse a fair settlement.
Your Rights as an Uber or Lyft Accident Victim
Florida law requires rideshare companies to provide specific, tiered insurance coverage depending on the driver’s status. If you were injured due to a rideshare driver’s negligence, an experienced Uber and Lyft accident attorney can help you pursue significant compensation for:
Medical Bills
Hospital visits, surgeries, specialist fees, physical therapy, and long-term care.
Lost Wages
Full reimbursement for the income lost during your recovery and compensation if your injuries impact your future ability to work.
Property Damage
Complete coverage for repairs or replacement if your personal vehicle was struck by an Uber or Lyft driver.
Pain and Suffering
Financial compensation for the physical trauma, emotional distress, and disruption to your daily life caused by the accident.
