Uber And Lyft Accidents Attorney In North Palm Beach, Florida
Have You Been In An Accident While Taking An Uber Or Lyft?
A rideshare trip with Uber or Lyft should be a convenient way to travel, not the beginning of a serious accident. When a rideshare driver — or another motorist — acts negligently, passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers can suffer significant injuries.
If you were injured in a rideshare accident, Keller, Keller, Caracuzzo, Cox & Belluccio in North Palm Beach can help you understand your rights. Rideshare cases often involve multiple insurance policies and complex coverage questions depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, transporting a passenger, or waiting for a ride request. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations, reviewing police reports, witness statements, photographs, video footage, and available app data to determine liability and identify all available sources of compensation.
We pursue recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the crash. Because evidence can disappear quickly and legal deadlines apply, it is important to seek legal guidance as soon as possible after the accident.
Contact our office today to schedule a confidential consultation and learn how we can assist you with your rideshare accident claim.

What Makes Rideshare Accident Cases So Complex?
Uber and Lyft operate within the “gig economy,” connecting independent drivers with passengers through a mobile app. Because rideshare companies classify their drivers as independent contractors, they do not own the vehicles, and drivers typically use their personal cars rather than commercially licensed vehicles. This arrangement can create complex insurance issues after an accident.
Many personal auto insurance policies exclude coverage when a vehicle is being used for rideshare purposes. While Uber and Lyft provide insurance coverage under certain circumstances, the available coverage often depends on the driver’s status in the app at the time of the crash. Different policies may apply if the driver was waiting for a ride request, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively transporting someone. These distinctions can significantly affect the compensation available to injured victims.

What Damages Does a Rideshare Accident Settlement Cover?
While your immediate priority after an Uber or Lyft accident should be medical treatment, it is also important to consider the broader impact the crash has had on your life. A fair settlement should account not only for your medical expenses, but also for lost income, reduced earning capacity, and the ways your injuries have affected your daily activities and overall quality of life.
Be sure to keep detailed records of all medical bills, prescriptions, therapy appointments, and time missed from work. Documenting how the accident has impacted your routine, physical abilities, and emotional well-being can also be helpful. Maintaining a journal that tracks your recovery and limitations may strengthen your claim.
