How You Benefit From Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers
Uber and Lyft drivers are considered independent contractors, not company employees. This makes assigning fault more complicated. Also, Florida is a no-fault accident state. Your personal insurance coverage is usually the first source for potential compensation. However, “no-fault” in this context refers to insurance coverage. It does not absolve accountability for someone’s negligence. An Uber and Lyft accident lawyer in West Palm Beach will explain your potential compensation options.

There are a few reasons why Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers recommend to our clients that we speak on their behalf to insurance adjusters.

How we Determine Liability in an Uber or Lyft Accident
Accidents might be unintentional, but usually someone is responsible. Uber and Lyft drivers must supply safe transportation for passengers who hire them. If we show the driver or another party is liable, you might be eligible for compensation for damages. As Uber and Lyft accident lawyers in West Palm Beach, we have a process to find who is at-fault:
- Duty of care requires that drivers follow the rules of the road and responsibly conduct themselves.
- Negligence occurs when drivers do not obey traffic laws and act in an unsafe manner.
- Causation occurs when this negligent behavior causes injury to others.
- Damages are the physical, mental, and financial result of these injuries.
Florida Law Has Specific Regulations for Uber and Lyft Drivers
A lawyer from our firm will also check to see if the ride-share driver followed Florida law. As part of a transportation network company, all personal ride-sharing services in the state must provide:
- Background checks on all drivers.
- Operations audits to state agencies every two years.
- Information on digital networks to local and state enforcement agencies.
We will review police reports, witness statements, and other information about your accident. It is crucial that you give us your account of the accident. Please keep all receipts, bills, or pay stubs as financial damages. We invite you to call (561) 899-5020 for a free case evaluation. If you cannot meet at our office, we will come to you.
