Initial Recovery Options after a Rideshare Collision in Clearwater
Many people think that because Florida is a no-fault insurance state, they cannot pursue compensation from the at-fault driver. This is not necessarily the case. You can file a claim under your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. If your damages exceed your policy limits, you could seek compensation from the other party’s insurer.
PIP can cover several parties. If you had passengers in your car during the collision, this coverage could help pay for their injuries irrespective of your relation to them. If someone else was driving your car with your permission, they would also be covered.
Making a Liability Insurance Claim after a Rideshare Accident
As noted, if your insurance policy does not fully cover your injuries and related expenses, you could pursue compensation from another party. Who is liable in this type of collision can vary.
Both Uber and Lyft provide coverage for their drivers and injured parties. However, the driver’s status will determine when this type of coverage kicks in:
- If the driver was not actively working for the rideshare company at the time of the collision, you would file a claim with their personal insurer without regard to the ridesharing element.
- If the driver was actively completing a ride request, you could secure compensation through a settlement with the rideshare company’s insurer.
Due to these rules, collisions involving rideshare vehicles can get complicated. You do not need to worry about navigating the details of rideshare insurance coverage with our team on your side, though. We can do all of that for you.
Who Could Owe You Compensation for Your Clearwater Crash?
Ridesharing cases may involve multiple liable parties. You could receive compensation from one or more of the following parties:
- Uber’s insurer
- Lyft’s insurer
- The insurer of another ridesharing service
- The insurer of a ridesharing driver or other type of liable motorist
We will speak with you about the possibility of an insurance claim or lawsuit. The facts of your case will determine the most appropriate option.
The Deadline for Filing Your Uber or Lyft Rideshare Accident Lawsuit
If you want to file a lawsuit against the rideshare company, you typically have four years from the date of your accident to do so, per Florida Statutes § 95.11. It is best to get started on your case while you still have plenty of time, as your lawsuit could get dismissed if you miss the filing deadline.
A rideshare accident attorney from our firm can determine your deadline and check for any tolling exceptions, which are outlined under Florida Statutes § 95.051.
Do not assume anything regarding your legal options, as you do not want to give up your right to pursue damages.
