What to Do After an Uber Accident in Florida
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
As rideshare services like Uber grow in popularity, so does the risk of accidents, leaving passengers, drivers, or other motorists confused about their rights. At Kaiser Romanello Accident & Injury Attorneys, we specialize in helping Florida victims navigate Uber accident cases, ensuring fair compensation for injuries and damages.
Understanding Uber Accidents and Insurance Coverage
Uber accidents involve complex insurance scenarios:
- Uber’s Insurance: When the driver is online, picking up, or transporting a passenger, Uber’s policy offers liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage, up to $1 million.
- Driver’s Personal Insurance: If the driver is offline, their personal auto insurance applies, often with lower limits ($25,000–$75,000).
- Uninsured/Underinsured Coverage: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance, your own policy or Uber’s coverage may apply.
Our attorneys clarify these nuances to protect your interests in Florida’s intricate rideshare insurance landscape.
Key Steps After an Uber Accident
Take these steps to strengthen your claim:
- Call 911 and Gather Information: Secure a police report, collect the Uber driver’s details, and exchange insurance information with all parties.
- Seek Medical Attention: Immediate care is vital for hidden injuries like whiplash, and medical records bolster your claim.
- Notify Insurance Companies: Report the crash to your insurer, the Uber driver’s insurer, and possibly Uber, depending on the circumstances.
- Consult an Uber Accident Lawyer: An attorney preserves evidence, communicates with insurers, and protects your rights.
Potential Injuries and Legal Claims
Uber accidents can cause injuries ranging from minor bruises to severe trauma like spinal issues or head injuries. Claims may cover:
- Bodily Injury: Medical costs for whiplash, fractures, or brain trauma.
- Property Damage: Repairs for damaged vehicles or personal items.
- Wrongful Death: Compensation for families in tragic cases.
- Uninsured Drivers: Complex claims when the at-fault party lacks coverage.
An injury claim can address medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress if negligence is proven.
