Sarasota Uber/Lyft Accident Lawyers

As ridesharing continually becomes a more popular method of transportation, the likelihood of an accident occurring while using it increases as well. Even though Uber and Lyft are intended to be a safe way of getting from one place to another, accidents can happen anywhere, at any time. In heavily populated areas like Sarasota, they are especially common due to increased traffic congestion.

Accidents can lead to serious injuries, which can result in significant medical expenses for things like hospital stays, emergency surgery, medication, physical therapy, and more. It’s unfair to have to pay for costs like these when an accident wasn’t your fault to begin with.

If you were recently injured in a crash that involved Uber or Lyft, you may be able to recover a substantial amount of compensation for your injuries with the help of one of our Sarasota Uber/Lyft accident lawyers. Call The Florida Law Group today to schedule a free consultation and discover your next steps.

What’s Different About Rideshare Accidents?

Because Uber and Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors, and the companies maintain insurance for ridesharing and deliveries, it can be difficult to deem Uber or Lyft financially at fault when an accident occurs. Typically, it’s the driver who ends up being at fault. Under Florida law, rideshare drivers are required to carry minimum liability insurance coverage to pay out any injured accident victims. The coverage is usually in the amount of $1 million, but if your injuries are extreme, it is possible to recover more.

To give yourself the best chance of recovering maximum compensation, it’s crucial to work with an experienced Sarasota Uber/Lyft accident lawyer.

How Our Sarasota Uber/Lyft Accident Lawyers Can Help

In addition to proving fault and providing supporting evidence, securing compensation involves a lot of paperwork, phone calls, and communication with insurance companies. None of these tasks can be managed efficiently on your own when you’re in the midst of recovery.
