Kaiser Romanello, P.A. — Florida rideshare accident attorneys serving West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County. Available 24/7 · No fee unless we win.
Quick answer: In a West Palm Beach Uber crash, the coverage that responds depends on the driver's app status. On a trip or en route to a rider, Florida's rideshare law puts a $1,000,000 policy in play; logged in and waiting carries far less; app off, only the driver's personal policy applies. Whether you were the passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian affects which policy pays. Kaiser Romanello handles West Palm Beach Uber claims on a contingency fee — no fee unless we recover.

Why West Palm Beach Uber Crash Victims Call Kaiser Romanello
Rideshare crashes bring multiple insurers into a single claim — Uber's commercial coverage, the driver's personal insurer, and sometimes another driver's carrier — and each has a motive to point at the others. Nailing down which policy applies, and pressing it to pay, is where an experienced firm makes the difference.
Kaiser Romanello, P.A. represents passengers, drivers, and pedestrians injured in Uber and Lyft crashes throughout West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County. Founding partners Lorne Kaiser and Steven Romanello handle cases personally, and both are trial attorneys prepared to go 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.

With a lively downtown, a major airport, and heavy interstate traffic, West Palm Beach keeps rideshare vehicles moving day and night. We regularly handle crashes on:
- I-95 and Florida's Turnpike near the Okeechobee, Southern, and Palm Beach Lakes interchanges — fast merging and rear-end crashes.
- Okeechobee Boulevard and Southern Boulevard — the busy corridors feeding downtown, the airport, and I-95.
- US-1 (Dixie Highway), Australian Avenue, and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard — arterials with frequent turning and intersection crashes.
- Clematis Street, Rosemary Square, and the Palm Beach International Airport corridor — heavy late-night pickups and drop-offs, where impaired and distracted driving raise the danger.
Serious crash injuries in the area are often treated at St. Mary's Medical Center, Palm Beach County's Level I trauma center in West Palm Beach. 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.
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:
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.

Florida's no-fault system still governs rideshare crashes involving cars.
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.
Compensation in a West Palm Beach 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.

West Palm Beach Uber Accident FAQ
My Uber crashed in West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach 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.
