Uber & Lyft Accident Lawyer in Florida

The biggest complication is the insurance. Uber and Lyft operate under layered policies that depend on the driver’s status at the moment of the crash. This creates confusion—and gives insurers room to deny, delay, or shift blame. There’s also the issue of whether the driver is considered an independent contractor or an employee, which impacts liability.

At Comras & Comras, we break down the rideshare company’s policies, subpoena digital records if necessary, and pursue every source of compensation available. These aren’t simple cases—but we’re not a simple firm.

Absolutely. As a passenger, you’re almost never at fault. If your Uber or Lyft driver caused the crash—or if another vehicle did—you still have the right to file a claim for your injuries. The question becomes which insurance policy applies and how to maximize your recovery.

That’s where we come in. We investigate the accident, determine fault, and ensure that the responsible party—driver, company, or insurer—pays you what you deserve.

It depends. In most cases, Uber and Lyft try to shield themselves from lawsuits by classifying drivers as independent contractors. However, there are circumstances—such as negligent hiring or failure to enforce safety protocols—where legal action against the company may be possible.

We’ll evaluate your case thoroughly to see if corporate liability applies. If so, we’ll pursue every legal avenue to ensure Uber or Lyft is held accountable—not just the driver.

Uber and Lyft provide their own commercial liability policies that can kick in depending on when the accident happened. Even if the driver lacks personal insurance—or if their insurer denies the claim—we can often recover compensation through the company’s policy.

Comras & Comras will work to determine which coverage applies and push back against unfair denials. Rideshare companies don’t get to walk away from responsibility just because their drivers were underinsured.
