We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!

Kaiser Romanello, P.A. — Florida rideshare accident attorneys serving Pompano Beach and northeast Broward County. Available 24/7 · No fee unless we win.

Quick answer: After a Pompano Uber crash, the insurance that responds depends on what the driver was doing in the app. On a trip or heading to a rider, Florida's rideshare law puts a $1,000,000 policy in play; merely logged in and waiting carries far less; off-duty, only the driver's personal policy applies. Your role — passenger, other driver, or pedestrian — also affects which policy pays. Kaiser Romanello handles Pompano Uber claims on a contingency fee — no fee unless we recover.

Why Pompano Uber Crash Victims Call Kaiser Romanello

A rideshare crash usually pulls in more than one insurer — Uber's commercial coverage, the driver's personal policy, and sometimes another motorist's carrier — and each has a reason to shift blame to the others. Establishing which policy applies, and making it pay, is where an experienced firm earns its keep.

Kaiser Romanello, P.A. represents passengers, drivers, and pedestrians injured in Uber and Lyft crashes across Pompano Beach and northeast Broward. Founding partners Lorne Kaiser and Steven Romanello handle cases personally, and both are trial attorneys prepared to go before a Broward County jury when an insurer won't pay fairly. Our fee is contingent — nothing to begin, and no fee unless we recover for you.

Where Pompano Beach Uber Crashes Happen

Between the interstate, the beach, and a busy casino-and-dining scene, Pompano keeps rideshare vehicles on the road at all hours. We regularly handle crashes on:

  • I-95 and Florida's Turnpike at the Atlantic Boulevard, Copans Road, and Sample Road interchanges — fast merging and rear-end crashes.
  • Atlantic Boulevard, Copans Road, and Sample Road — busy east-west arterials with frequent turning and intersection crashes.
  • Federal Highway (US-1), Dixie Highway, and Powerline Road — heavily traveled corridors shared with commercial traffic.
  • The Isle Casino, pier, and A1A beach district — late-night pickup and drop-off traffic where impaired and distracted driving raise the risk.

Serious crash injuries in the area are often treated at Broward Health North in nearby Deerfield Beach, with severe trauma transported to a Level I trauma center. Injury lawsuits are filed in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court for Broward County in Fort Lauderdale — we handle the filings, deadlines, and evidence preservation so you can focus on recovery.

Uber's Insurance Depends on the App

This is the pivotal issue in a rideshare claim. Florida's transportation-network-company law (Fla. Stat. §627.748) ties the available coverage to which "phase" the driver was in when the crash occurred:

Phase 1 — app off: If the driver was not logged in, the crash is treated like any private wreck — only the driver's own auto policy is available.
Phase 2 — logged in, no ride accepted: Once the app is on but no trip has been accepted, Florida requires contingent coverage of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 per crash, and $25,000 in property damage.
Phase 3 — trip accepted or passenger aboard: From the moment the driver starts toward the pickup through drop-off, the full $1,000,000 rideshare policy is in force — the phase that offers the most protection to anyone hurt in the crash.

Because the answer lives in trip data Uber controls, securing it early is essential. See our Florida rideshare accident guide and how Uber accident insurance coverage works.

No-Fault, PIP, and the Injury Threshold

Florida's no-fault system still governs rideshare crashes involving cars.

PIP comes first (Fla. Stat. §627.736): The first $10,000 of your treatment and lost wages is paid by no-fault coverage — your own, or, if you don't own a car, the PIP on the vehicle you were in or a household relative's policy — as long as you see a doctor within 14 days. Going beyond that $10,000 to recover pain and suffering from the at-fault party requires meeting the serious-injury threshold (§627.737). See our guide to Florida's 14-day PIP rule.

An Uber passenger is almost never blamed for the crash, so your claim usually turns on the insurers arguing over which policy pays — not on anything you did.

Fault and Florida's Comparative Negligence Rule

If 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.

Modified comparative negligence (Fla. Stat. §768.81): Your award is reduced by your share of fault, and under HB 837 (effective March 24, 2023) anyone found more than 50% at fault recovers nothing. See our explainer on Florida's comparative negligence rule after HB 837.

Compensation in a Pompano Uber 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.

Florida's Two-Year Filing Deadline

Two years. Under Fla. Stat. §95.11 — as shortened by HB 837, effective March 24, 2023 — most Florida rideshare accident claims must be filed within two years of the crash. But Uber's app and trip data should be preserved long before that deadline. More detail: Florida's 2026 statute of limitations update.

Pompano Beach Uber Accident FAQ

My Uber crashed in Pompano while I was a passenger. Who pays?

Because the driver was on a trip, Uber'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.

An Uber driver hit my car. What insurance is available?

It depends on the driver's app phase at impact — personal policy only if the app was off, roughly $50k/$100k if logged in and waiting, or $1,000,000 if heading to or carrying a rider. We obtain the trip data to establish which phase applied.

Does this work the same for Lyft?

Yes. Uber and Lyft both operate under Florida's transportation-network-company law (§627.748), so the same tiered coverage structure applies.

How much does a Pompano Uber 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.
