Kaiser Romanello, P.A. — Florida rideshare accident attorneys serving Boca Raton and Palm Beach County. Available 24/7 · No fee unless we win.
Quick answer: In a Lyft crash, how much insurance is available turns on what the driver's app was doing at the moment of the crash. When a driver is on the way to a rider or on a trip, Florida's rideshare law requires $1,000,000 in coverage; when the app is on but no ride is accepted, the required coverage is far smaller; and when the app is off, only the driver's personal policy applies. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian changes which policy pays. Kaiser Romanello handles Boca Lyft claims on a contingency fee — no fee unless we recover.

Why Boca Lyft Crash Victims Call Kaiser Romanello
A rideshare crash is rarely a simple two-car claim. A commercial insurer, Lyft's coverage, the driver's personal policy, and sometimes a third driver's insurer can all be in play — and each one has a reason to point at the others. Sorting out which policy applies, and pushing it to pay, takes a firm that knows how these claims are built.
Kaiser Romanello, P.A. represents passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians injured in Lyft and Uber crashes throughout Boca Raton and Palm Beach County. Founding partners Lorne Kaiser and Steven Romanello handle cases personally, and both are trial attorneys prepared to take a claim before a Palm Beach County jury when an insurer won't pay fairly. Our fee is contingent — nothing to begin, and no fee unless we recover for you.

Boca's mix of interstate traffic, a large university, and a busy dining and nightlife scene keeps rideshare vehicles on the road day and night. We regularly handle crashes on:
- I-95 and Florida's Turnpike at the Glades Road, Yamato Road, and Palmetto Park Road interchanges — high-speed merging crashes.
- Glades Road and Yamato Road — heavily traveled routes serving Town Center, FAU, and the office corridor.
- Federal Highway (US-1), Military Trail, and Palmetto Park Road — busy arterials with frequent intersection and turning crashes.
- Mizner Park and the downtown dining district — heavy late-night pickup and drop-off traffic, where distraction and impaired driving raise the risk.
Serious crash injuries in the area are often treated at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Injury lawsuits are filed in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court for Palm Beach County — we handle the filings, deadlines, and evidence preservation so you can focus on recovery.
Lyft's Insurance Depends on the App
This is the heart of a rideshare claim. Under Florida's transportation-network-company law (Fla. Stat. §627.748), the coverage available depends on the driver's status at the moment of the crash:
Because the applicable policy hinges on app data the company controls, getting that evidence quickly matters. See our Florida rideshare accident guide and how rideshare insurance coverage works.

Florida's no-fault system still applies to rideshare crashes involving cars.
As a passenger, you are almost never at fault, which often simplifies your claim — the fight is usually between the insurers over which policy pays, not over what you did.
Fault and Florida's Comparative Negligence Rule
When you were another driver or a pedestrian, expect the insurers to argue you share the blame, because in Florida your percentage of fault directly reduces your recovery.
Compensation in a Boca Lyft Accident Claim
Depending on your injuries and which coverage applies, a rideshare claim may seek:
- Medical expenses — emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and future treatment.
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity — income missed now and the long-term effect on your ability to work.
- Pain and suffering — physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life (once the serious-injury threshold is met).
- Property damage, and where gross negligence such as drunk driving is involved, punitive damages.
- Wrongful death damages — for families who have lost a loved one, including loss of support, companionship, and funeral costs.
Every case turns on its own facts, injuries, and available insurance. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Boca Raton Lyft Accident FAQ
I was a passenger in a Lyft that crashed. Who pays?
Because the driver was on a trip, Lyft's $1,000,000 coverage generally applies — and as a passenger you are almost never at fault. Your own PIP still pays the first $10,000 of medical bills if you treat within 14 days.
A Lyft driver hit my car. What coverage is available?
It depends on the driver's app status at the moment of the crash — personal policy only if the app was off, roughly $50k/$100k if the app was on and waiting, or $1,000,000 if the driver was heading to or carrying a rider. We obtain the app data to confirm which applies.
Does the same coverage apply to Uber?
Yes. Both Uber and Lyft operate under Florida's transportation-network-company law (§627.748), so the same tiered coverage structure applies.
How much does a Boca Lyft accident lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so you pay a fee only if we recover compensation for you. The consultation is free and available 24/7.
