Who Pays The Damages In A Rideshare Accident?

Your own personal injury protection (PIP) insurance will cover your medical bills if Uber or Lyft does not. But PIP benefits are capped at $10,000. If you have a serious injury and your total losses exceed $10,000, you can bring a personal injury claim against Uber or Lyft for the excess damages.

Florida requires Lyft and Uber vehicles to be adequately insured for property damage, bodily injury or death. Each rideshare service has its own policy, but in a nutshell:

  • If the driver is transporting a passenger or en route to a pickup, the rideshare company is fully liable for injuries to its passengers, its driver, pedestrians or anyone else injured in a crash.
  • If the driver is logged in but waiting for a fare request, the rideshare company has limited liability for accidents. It may be necessary to pursue other sources of insurance.
  • If the driver is logged out (off duty), the driver’s own auto insurance policy would apply in an accident.
