Brandon Rideshare Accident Lawyers

Did an Uber or Lyft Crash Leave You or a Loved One Seriously Injured?

When you are involved in an unexpected ridesharing accident in or near Brandon, we can help you fight for up to $1 million in compensation.

Ridesharing is a transportation option that has experienced a rapid rise in popularity over the last several years. While it is certainly a safer way to get to your destination than driving drunk, distracted, or fatigued, companies like Uber and Lyft hire everyday, regular people in regular vehicles to drive on regular roads; there is no guarantee that they or other drivers will not commit driving errors that result in a collision. Because of this, Florida law requires ridesharing drivers to carry a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance coverage. If a Brandon Uber or Lyft ridesharing driver that you trusted with your safety was careless, and you were injured as a result of their negligence, The Florida Law Group can help you make a solid claim for compensation and receive part or most of that amount!

Uber and Lyft cases can be more complex than typical car accident cases because rideshare drivers are not considered “employees” of the company. To prove that the companies themselves were at fault, you would need to prove that Uber and Lyft failed to properly inspect the vehicle or investigate the driver before hiring him or her. Because this is usually a rare occurrence, the individual drivers are more likely to be found legally responsible for your injuries, depending on your relationship to them at the time of the crash. Our Brandon attorneys can help you understand your legal rights and options and pursue a free case evaluation.

  • Thorough investigation of the crash that can include reviewing police reports, gathering witness statements, obtaining app data from Uber or Lyft, and analyzing photos or video from the scene.
  • Careful evaluation of damages so that medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and the impact of pain and suffering are fully documented and presented to the insurance companies.
  • Guidance with medical treatment by helping you coordinate records from providers in and around Brandon, such as Brandon Regional Hospital or local clinics, so your injuries are properly documented.

When you work with our firm after a crash involving an Uber or Lyft in Brandon, you will have direct access to a rideshare accident attorney who can explain how insurance coverage applies to your specific situation. We can walk you through questions about whether the driver was logged into the app, on the way to pick up a rider, or transporting a passenger at the time of the collision, because those details often determine what coverage is available. If your wreck occurred on busy routes like Interstate 75, State Road 60, or near popular destinations in Brandon, we can gather evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records from nearby facilities to help build a strong claim on your behalf.
