Compensation That May Be Available in Uber Accident Claims
In a traditional car accident case, the injured victims in the accident would file a claim for compensation against the driver or drivers who were responsible for causing the accident. When a car accident is caused by a driver who is driving for Uber at the time of the accident, it can make it much more difficult to pursue compensation. You may decide to file a claim against the driver’s car insurance, but if the driver doesn’t have the right policies, his or her insurer may deny your claim because the driver was working at the time of the accident.
Fortunately, Florida law now requires rideshare companies such as Uber to provide insurance coverage through their drivers. However, the amount of coverage that is available (if any is available at all) depends on the circumstances that exist at the time of the accident:
- The Uber driver has accepted a ride request from a passenger or is actively transporting a passenger: Florida law requires insurance coverage of at least $1 million for death, bodily injury, and property damage
- The Uber driver is logged into the mobile application but has not accepted a ride request: Florida law requires insurance coverage of at least $50,000 per person/$100,000 per incident for death and bodily injury, and $25,000 per incident for property damage
- The Uber driver is not logged into the mobile application: The driver is not considered driving for the rideshare company and his or her personal auto insurance policy will apply

Frequently Asked Questions About Uber Accidents in Delray Beach
Most motor vehicle accidents such as Uber accidents are resolved long before the claim ever gets inside a courtroom or goes to trial. Instead, most claims are resolved through a negotiated settlement with the insurance company. Our attorneys work diligently to try to obtain a settlement that provides you with fair and full compensation so that you get the money you need for your recovery as quickly as possible. Of course, our experienced lawyers do not hesitate to pursue your claims in court when it will give you the best chance at securing the financial recovery you need and deserve.
Most personal injury attorneys handle injured victims’ claims on a “contingency fee” basis. That means that the client does not pay any money upfront; instead, the lawyer does not get paid unless and until the lawyer recovers compensation for the client. The lawyer is then paid a percentage of the client’s total financial recovery as the lawyer’s fee.
