Personal injury claims rely on proving that someone else was negligent. Proving negligence can be hard, especially in rideshare car accidents where there may be multiple reasons behind a crash. Some ways in which our Uber and Lyft attorneys help support your claim include:
Florida is a no-fault state for car accidents. This means every driver is required to carry no-fault insurance coverage, which applies to damage to their car and the cost of their bodily injuries. Additionally, under Florida Statutes § 627.748, rideshare companies and/or their drivers must carry insurance policies that provide at least $1 million in liability coverage for death, bodily injury, and property damage.
It’s also important to know and abide by any applicable legal deadlines for a personal injury case. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you typically have only two years to pursue a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
One of our Florida Uber and Lyft accident lawyers can ensure that all applicable laws are followed in the pursuit of your case. Contact Rosenberg & Rosenberg today to discuss your legal options.
After any accident, your first action should be to ensure that you have no serious injuries and do not require immediate medical attention. If you do, you should call emergency services immediately. If you do not go to the emergency room, it is still important to be assessed by a medical professional.
In addition to medical care, some other actions to take include:
Police officers can help redirect traffic and ensure that an accident scene is safe for those involved. They will also create a crash report which details their observations of the accident, driver and witness statements, and other important information.
Both Uber and Lyft have ways to report accidents using the rideshare app. You can also make a report using their websites if you don’t have access to the app. This will help create a record of when and where the accident occurred.
If it is safe to do so, take photographs of the accident scene and of your injuries. This makes it easier for our car accident lawyers to identify the liable party and prove your need for damages.
When you’ve been injured, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Your personal injury claim can feel like one more worry to add onto your stress. At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, we’ll treat your personal injury case with care and dedication. We also operate on a contingency-fee basis, which means you will owe us nothing unless we win your case.
