Uber Accident Injuries in Florida: Legal Guidance from Zeidwig Law

Ridesharing services like Uber have revolutionized transportation in Florida, offering convenience and accessibility. However, with the increase in Uber vehicles on the road, accidents involving these rideshare services have become more common. At Zeidwig Law, we are committed to assisting individuals who have sustained injuries in Uber-related accidents, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.

Florida's No-Fault Insurance System and Uber Accidents
Florida operates under a 'no-fault' insurance system, meaning that after a vehicular accident, each party's own insurance coverage pays for their medical expenses and certain other losses, regardless of who was at fault. This system requires all drivers, including Uber drivers, to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. In the event of an Uber accident, injured passengers would typically file a claim under their own PIP coverage. However, if injuries are severe and damages exceed PIP limits, pursuing additional compensation from the at-fault party becomes necessary.

Insurance Requirements for Uber Drivers in Florida
Florida law mandates specific insurance coverages for rideshare drivers, which vary depending on the driver's status at the time of the accident:
- App On, No Passenger: Minimum $50,000 for bodily injury per person, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 for property damage.
- Passenger Onboard: Uber provides $1 million in liability coverage.
- Driver Offline: The driver’s personal auto insurance applies.

Steps to Take Following an Uber Accident
If you are involved in an Uber accident, consider the following actions to protect your health and legal rights:
1. Seek Medical Attention
